Description
Help! 1st Press STEREO
Firstly a bit of history of the album.....HELP was the BEATLES' 5th album coming out on the 6th August 1965. The premier of the album was played in London on the 29th July. Once again reaching the top spot in all record magazines of that era...as they had done with the previous four albums!
Catalogue number: PCS 3071
Matrix Number Side 1: YEX 168-1
Matrix Number Side 2: YEX 169-1
Mothers/Stampers Side 1: AR @ 3 O'clock 3 at 9 O'clock
Mothers/Stampers Side 2: MT @ 3 O'clock 3 at 9 O'clock
Vinyl: VG++. I grade this as such due to some light marks and visible scuffing (side 2 tracks 1-2) but nothing to affect playback, just light crackles every now and then...
I have just played her and she still sounds great!
Labels: EX. Lovely and clear. Some spindle marks but only visible under bright light. "KT" tax code lovely and proud to side 2. Outer text
"The Gramaphone Co.LTD"
it DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
VERY DISPLAYABLE
Cover: EX-. Still bright to the front laminate and equally bright to the to the back card-Now that is unusual! light dings to corners, with crease and lifting to the top left corner-Please see the detailed images.
OUTLINE STEREO!
NO WRITING ANYWHERE!!!
NO RIPS OR TEARS ANYWHERE!!
As you can see in the picture, there's very little spidering to the laminate.
Good strong spine.
Excellently strong Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks with
"Patents Pending"
Inner: Original "Use Emitex" in EX+ condition just light creases but NO SPLITS or writing, with hardly any discolouration.
Overall; A lovely example of an increasingly rare STEREO, PARLOPHONE version of the HELP! Lp... AND THE 1st PRESS
'Mint' means I have just stepped out of the record shop in the 60's, never opened the record and kept it in fantastic dry and warm condtitons...unlikely isn't it!!
