NOTE: This Item is being sold in LORING, Ontario PRICE: $565 Cdn. SOLD HISTORY It’s probably a good thing that I fell for my wife before I knew she owned a Marantz Amp or she might still be wondering today whether I married her for herself or her Marantz. I like to think I’m a good man but after all, I am still just a man with human weaknesses. My wife and I adoring each other and our Marantz Amp. From Frank and Dino to The Beatles and The Rolling Stones - they all sound great! One of the Marantz Amps Model #125 at Sugar's 1977 I fell in love with Marantz when I worked as a disc jockey at Sugar’s Discoteque at the Leonard Hotel in St. Catharines in 1977 even before I fell in love with my wife. Just as the love for my wife has never died, neither has my love for Marantz. My system at Sugar’s consisted of 2 Marantz Amps, Model #125.

THE BEATLES * LET IT BE / YOU KNOW MY NAME (LOOK UP THE NUMBER) * 45 rpm * JAPANESE RELEASE * AR-2461

Image
FOR SALE: Make an offer. #70 I have no idea where I even got this. I really have to quit drinking before I go to Garage Sales, but you know… beer is not just another breakfast drink. However, I promise you it wasn’t stolen. That’s not my style. This is the Japanese release of “Let It Be” by the Beatles recorded in 1970 and was manufactured by Toshiba-EMI Ltd. Japan.  Both sides indicate the songs were published by “Northern Songs”, founded by Dick James, Brian Epstein, John Lennon and Paul McCartney. Let It Be You Know My Name (Look Up The Number) While Phil Spector was credited as the producer of the album “Let It Be”, the production of both sides of this 45 rpm record were credited to George Martin.  “Let It Be" is backed with “You Know My My Name (Look Up The Number)” which was recorded in 1967. I don’t know how to properly grade records but this one looks pretty fine to me. Click on any of the photos for a larger view and judge for yourself. Let It Be You Know My Name (Look
