The Beatles - Help!
(Parlophone PMC 1255 UK LP 1965)
This is a UK original Mono LP pressing. It has a front laminated flipback sleeve which is printed by "Garrod & Lofthouse". It has an outlined mid sized "Mono" on the front. It comes with its original tracing-paper lined "Emitex" company inner sleeve.
The record is pressed on thick vinyl & has yellow & black "Parlophone" labels. They have "The Gramophone Co. Ltd..."and "Sold in UK..." texts. It has a "KT" tax code embossed around the spindle hole on Side 2's label. The record has 1st press XEX 549-2 and XEX 550-2 matrix numbers. The mother stampers are ATO 5 and AHH 2 respectively.
Sleeve: There is some light, mild or very mild rubbing wear on the sleeve opening edges. There is some mild fading on the rear sleeve. There is a small finger-tip sized tear on the bottom flipback at the sleeve opening (see photo). There is a small bit of rubbing wear on the front spine edge. There is light, mild or very mild ringwear. Very Good condition
Vinyl: There are some light, mild or very mild sleeve rubs which can only be seen under a strong light. There are about 6 light hairline surface marks. These are all quite small. They measure from 1 cm to 2 cm in length. Very Good condition. The labels are in Very Good++ condition & show mild to more moderate spindle wear only. The Emitex company inner sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. There is some light, mild or more moderate ringwear, fading & creasing. There are no seam splits.
I have fully play tested this LP. It plays Very Good to Very Good+ overall & Near Excellent in some places. There is some light, mild or very mild crackle in some quieter places. There are 4 or 5 light clicks at the start of Side 2. Otherwise, no noticeable clicks or pops. Overall, a very decent audio copy!
