THE BEATLES
Help!
1st Press
STEREO
SUPERB AUDIO
*EX*

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!
This is the rarer version in STEREO-Obviously, back in the day these cost significantly more than their counterpart MONO copies, so not many of these were produced and sold..

EX-!
 There are some visible, but only very light marks to the record....After giving her a gentle vacuum clean I then playing her all the way through and found an outstanding audio reproduction!
There were only very occasional light pops-which disappear as soon as they arrive, as well as a very small amount of occasional background noise-really nothing to worry about at all.
The fantastic thing I noticed was the fact that even after listening to this album many, many times...I heard some different arrangements and harmonies! Specifically some bongos in the background on "Loose That Girl" and lovely harmonies on "Act Naturally"...each of which I hadn't taken any notice of before, but couldn't miss this time as the audio quality was superb!
WONDERFULLY FLAT
(Glorious stereo!!)


Labels:
EX-.
 The good ole Yellow Parlophone label.
Many light spindle marks to the labels, but really only visible when angled towards the light.

Very little central hole wear.

Still bright colours to the front laminate, with very little discolouration to the back card as it remains wonderfully white. There is  There is only 2 lines of spidering to the laminate-one of around 10cm and the other around near the opening as well as small fingers of spidering emanating from the seams...Really, REALLY well looked after.
