About Michael Harbidge Expertise I specialise in the records that the Beatles released. My expertise is in the British and American pressings but I`m sure I will be able to help with any record you may own. I`ve been heavily into the record-collecting side of the Beatles for over 11 years now (since I weas 12) and have slowly built my knowledge and credibility to such a point that I am one of the big UK experts in the field. Do you have an album of theirs perhaps that you`d like valued or would like some information on? I`m sure I can help.
Experience
Past/Present clients In the past I've managed to help innumerable people who have wanted to know values or information regarding a Beatles LP they owned. Each time I have managed to fully help them, or if unable to do so to point them to where somebody else could.

Hi Debra,
Your copy of Let It Be would appear to be a combination of the original UK boxed edition - released in UK May 8 1970 - and the UK re-issued edition - released in UK Nov 6 1970. It's the catalog number that gives it away - PCS 7096 being the catalog number of the re-issued edition. The boxed set's number was PXS 1. Hope this helps.

I'm sorry to say that the statement about which countries issued The Beatles' "Let it Be Box Set" is incomplete. Nicaragua is missing, and I can say that because one copy lies in my LP room.
Regards,
R.Lins

I am researching the value of the Let It Be LP with Book set. I can attest to the fact the set was sold by the Tower Records store in San Francisco on Columbus and Bay St. (the only Tower in SF at the time. My roomate and I drove our Honda 350's across the SF Bay bridge from Oakland for the one intention of buying the record the day it was released. Once we got to Tower Records we were pleased to see that it had the book included. This was in 1970. My roomate and I each bought the set and as you mentioned we discarded the sleeve that the book was set in.
