CONDITIONS:

COVER SLEEVE: The stereo covers were manufactured by G & L or Ernest J. Day.  Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending. Sleeve has the words "TRADE MARK OF THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." under the Parlophone logomark. Under it there is a first owner hand signature (see pics.) This sleeve is the correct issued 1st press "12 LL Printed and made by Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents pending", middle size Stereo front laminated  flipback cover. This example is definitely in very good collectible condition, with fully shine surface, gloss and clean, with no tears, writing, ring wear marks etc. There is a very light laminate surface traces at one side edge. At the two corners has a fine laminate wear. The spine is excellent, with well shape, pinched, that is fully legible/readable, very perfect considering for it`s 50 years old. Looks nice on the whole (see pics). Photo: Robert Freeman. Definitely in excellent condition,excluding the back cover hand signature.
VINYL: The Iconic 1965 UK STEREO Vinyl record 'HELP1'. Nice bright, clean and shiny, as it was just pressed! Fantastic jet black mirror like surfaces, it looks GREAT with NO really nasty scratches, groovewear, or nasty deep scuffs whatsoever! Daylight can find just a very light surface line mark and a small cosmetic non-sounding and unfeelable scuff (only visible in direct angled light)! Of course, none of these ultra light blemishes really interfere with play at all, thanks to the deeply pressed heavy ticker vinyl 60's quality! BRILLIANT for a record of this age and rarity! I can say, Excellent condition,without any worries and reservations!
AUDIO: The sound of vinyl record is most important for the client pleasure. This is playtested vinyl. Upon playing both sides, the record plays brilliantly, with fantastic STEREO sound-clarity, sharpness and depth! The sound really is great - clearly identifiable instruments and vocals! Plays fine, with dense, pure stereo sound, without any scips, irritaining pops and clicks. Really a very desent sounding vinyl LP record. There is no any jumps or sticks, but perhaps depending on the gramophone needle and the listener's hearing, maybe light background surface static noise/clicks/low level pops/crackles mainly in-between tracks, because this is not mint, unlisten?? vinyl record. I can say, that such a specific sound you can only get from original 1st Press, 1st Mother STEREO heavy-thick UK Parlophone vinyl record.  Amazingly perfect record at this age and rarity, listened to and stored very carefully in time! Excellent sound or better - personal point of view matter! The record's surface is clear, but the vinyl furrows are probably polluted over the years, and a professional cleaning will further improve the sound quality and clear the static noises. No deterioration in sound quality, plays very well considering!
LABELS: Yellow Parlophone Type-6-1. Black and Yellow Parlophone label with silver print: the name "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD.(capital letter)" on the outer rim, the "SOLD IN U.K." remark, and the "(P) 1965" statement Sans serif type: PCS 3071. Both sides record labels are clean and the print is clearly visible, no writing on the record label, no sticky residue or discoloration, except a very light trails on either side, typical of vinyls repeatedly played. KT tax is presented on label's side 2 (well noticeable). To be honest, it should be noted, that the side 1 label is marked by the first owner, of a small circular red sticker. Please see the pic. Both labels are in very good+ condition.
INNER SLEEVE: The correct 1st PRESS handle with thick ORIGINAL tracing-paper-lined "USE EMITEX" Sleeve Type-3 (1963-1966), die-cut inner sleeve. The words "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" is removed from the sleeve. The Sleeve is clear, has no writens and without any splits. Inner Sleeve is in excellent condition.
