NOTES
  Up for auction here (after three other HELP! first presses from Brazil, France, and Germany we've listed earlier today), the worldwide first press in mono, from the Beatles' homeland. It has Label Variation A, determined by the NBC credit that starts on second line of Side B label. Matrices -2/-2 as well as KT Tax Stamp that sits on Side A complete the picture. Record comes with its original EMITEX inner sleeve.

An Overall EXCELLENT PLUS condition sweetheart, 48 years of age...

1st Class Packaging

We are Collectors, hence every record is stored (and will be sent) in a sophisticated way. Many experienced collectors were thrilled by our unique, bullet-proof "packing technicque". Original cover, inner sleeve(s), prospective inserts, and/or whatever may come across, are stored separately. The vinyl sits in a neutral antistatic, padded inner sleeve, which is housed in a stable, neutral cardboard cover. Package is protected by one (or more) transparent plastic sleeves. Finally, all items are being wrapped with thick bubble foil and go to a professional record mailer.

For packaging, we use brand-new material & items only. Whatever eBay MIGHT display: INSURED, SIGNED-IN, TRACKED SHIPPING IS FREE. ANY DESTINATION ON THIS PLANET.
(PLEASE NOTE that pictured record is an EXAMPLE only. It is NOT the item up for auction. Thank you.)
