What separates the pressings

Oldest we track, 1982First released 1970; our table starts at 1982 (Apple, Italy). A copy older than 1982 predates everything here. Treat it as the find.
Collector variants1988 Australia: Reissue, Remastered, Red Apple on rear cover; 1988 US: Reissue, Purple Label, SRC, UPC; 1992 Japan: Reissue, Remastered, Limited Edition. Scarce on purpose; collectors pay for that.
JapanPressed to high standards and collected separately; a copy with the original obi strip is a different record to collectors than one without.
Reissues, 2003+7 pressings. Easy to find, priced as listening copies.

How to identify your copy

  1. 1

    Match the catalog number. It is printed on the spine and the record label. Check it together with the country against the pressings table above: the same number can appear in more than one country.

  2. 2

    Read the runout. The code etched in the dead wax near the label names the exact pressing. On the 1982 Italy pressing it reads “04433-A- 12-1-81 II” on side one and “04433-B- 1-12-82 II” on side two. Trust the etching over the jacket: covers get traded around, dead wax stays put.

  3. 3

    Grade the condition. A clean copy and a worn one of the same pressing sit several grades, and several multiples, apart. Grade record and sleeve separately; see our grading guide.

Questions

Which pressing of Let It Be is worth the most?

Original 1970 pressings lead; they predate everything in our table, and that scarcity is the point. Among tracked copies, the 1982 pressings come first. Scarcer variants (the 1988 “Reissue, Remastered, Red Apple on rear cover” and the 1988 “Reissue, Purple Label, SRC, UPC”) can beat an ordinary early copy. After that it is all condition: the gap between near mint and VG is usually larger than the gap between pressings.

How do I tell which pressing I have?

Match the catalog number on the spine and label against the table above, check the country, then read the etched code in the runout groove. On the 1982 Italy pressing the runout reads “04433-A- 12-1-81 II”. A period jacket with a later disc inside is still a reissue.

How much is Let It Be worth today?

Sellers ask from $30 for the later pressings we have quotes on (eBay, Sep 23, 2026). The 1982 pressings have no quoted range right now. Sold prices usually close lower. Scan your copy in the app for the range on your exact pressing and condition.
