THE BEATLES Let It Be / You Know My Name Mega Rare EXPORT Apple Press with P-R Catalogue Number They don t come much rarer than this On offer here is an insanely rare EXPORT copy of the Beatles final single, Let It Be / You Know My Name Look Up the Number on the Apple label.
You can tell that this is the export pressing since it carries the catalogue number P-R 5833 rather than the standard R 5833.
The P- prefix stood for Parlophone, and was used on all export copies of the single.
Interestingly, the disc carries the KT tax code prefix on side 1, which is unusual since these were done away with the year prior.
Do not underestimate just how rare these export copies of the single are.
It had always been assumed that all export copies were issued on the Parlophone label, but it was discovered fairly recently that a tiny, tiny run of copies were on Apple, but still used the export P- prefix catalogue number.
I ve been collecting for over 20 years and this is the first copy I have ever seen.
Checking Popsike shows that only 5 copies have ever come up for sale in at least the last 12 years, the last of which selling way back in 2014 The best thing about this disc is the condition It has a few little, light scuffs here and there but overall has a lovely, sharp, clean shine to it and is looking wonderful This must be up there with one of the nicest condition copies of this wonderfully rare single out there, and this is your chance to make it yours Don t miss this It may be years before another copy comes up for sale Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

The sleeve is the thick card, non-gloss version and is holding up really nicely.
There are no splits or tears and just minimal creasing - mostly just a little around the opening.
The folded seams have just a little wear that has caused some whitening around the edges.
But as you can see in the photos below the picture sleeve is still looking exceptional for its age Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition VISUALLY GRADED The disc is in EX- condition.

My Vinyl Grading: MINT No true preowned disc can be mint.
The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM /M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played i.e.
I personally bought from new or for copies that are still sealed.
NEAR MINT NM For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there.
EXCELLENT EX For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there.
VERY GOOD VG For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches.
GOOD G For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches.
Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle.
FAIR F For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR P For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed.
Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
