COMMENTS
The last album "Let It Be" was released as a boxed set.
All boxed type came with the "THE BEATLES GET BACK" photo book, and some boxed set came with an Apple promotional poster.
Three kind of cover were used for the boxed set, all of which were glossy and soft:
1) with the Parlophone logo at the lower center of the back cover, and under the logo, Apple's name was not credited.
2) with the Apple mark instead of Parlophone on the back cover. It was a "red apple". And under the Apple mark, "Apple Records" was credited.
3) the same design as the cover 2) , but the color of the apple on the back cover strangely changed to bluish Green.

"Bluish Green" Apple label type.
The same design as the cover "#14-3" but the inner flap was different. It was made from the front cover and glued with paste to the back cover.
My boxed set came with an Apple promotional poster.

Pressed in France (Pathe Marconi) at the time of the "Oil Crisis" in the 1970s.
The Apple mark at the lower center of the back cover is "bluish green".
The same design as the cover #14-2, but the inner flap was different. It made from the back cover and glued with paste to the front cover.
