Let It Be

1988-90 purple label pressing with smaller Capitol logo at the top, rim text surrounding most of the label. No barcode. This 1988 re-issue was pressed at the same time Capitol issued the "C1" re-issue series of the US Capitol-released Beatles albums, but for some reason they kept the catalog # as the 1979 re-issue. Capitol still used the existing catalog # (SW-11922) even though the CD had been issued as #46447 in 1987, and does not have a barcode yet at this point. Capitol would re-issue it again on vinyl in 1995 as 46447, with a barcode. This was pressed at Specialty Record Corporation (The large S surrounding R and C stamped in the run-out, see photo), also identified by smooth indent/notch approx 3/4" from edge of label, along with the 1" diameter ring at the center, and a glossy finish. Both sides also are stamped MASTERED BY CAPITOL in the run-outs. The earlier 1979 purple label pressings were pressed by Capitol, and has the 1" inner ring but without the smooth indentation, no SRC stamp and a dull label finish. Here is a link to that pressing: [r738337] Comes with custom inner sleeve that has the photos that were on the inside of the original 1970 gatefold issue plus a 22" x 22" poster of the cover (see photos) Printed on posterboard stock. No longer a gatefold jacket. Back cover is the same as the previous pressings, with the Capitol oval and EMI box logos with accompanying text at the bottom. Runouts are etched, except for the parts "SRC" and "MASTERED BY CAPITOL" which are stamped.
