Description
Help! by the Beatles.
Indian mono first pressing to the best of my knowledge.
Extremely seldom spotted on Ebay!
PMC 1255
XEX 549 2/550 2
Firstly, the record:
Visually stunning. One or two exceptionally light hairlines on either side but really not far off time warp quality.
It's been professionally cleaned by the best in the business too & so it's nice & glossy. It has also optimised playback.
Fully play tested & it sounds fantastic. Quiet run ins & even the quieter passages of the record sound pristine for a record that's coming up quick on its 60th birthday.
It's a very pleasingly heavyweight disk too.
Secondly, the sleeve:
Clean, strong & unmarked with a lovely legible spine. The flipbacks are strong & clean. There is a bit of edge wear & there are small rips at the top & bottom opening side but given how otherwise stunning it is I think they're forgivable. There's also a stamp on the back but personally I quite like it.
The sleeve is quite unusual because it has no mono caption on the front & the Dum Dum text with a lovely bird logo on the back. Strangely it doesn't have any spine text.
The original inner sleeve is in pristine condition.
Please study the pictures closely as they make up part of the description.
Any exceptionally rare Beatles first press (I doubt you'll find another on ebay) in absolutely beautiful condition!
*Loads of other Beatles available so check out my listings*
Coming soon: Revolver UK second press, With the Beatles UK second press & a first press of Liege & Leaf by Fairport Convention.
Offers welcome.
I post promptly and securely second class to keep costs down and I sometimes use recycled packaging.
Polite disclaimer:
If you don't have the means to pay for a bid within 48 hours of sale then please let me know before bidding.
Also if you intend making an offer but you have further questions about the items for sale, then you should ask them *prior to making that offer. By making an offer you are committed to the sale should the retailer accept it as per eBay terms and conditions. Sorry to have to mention this but I've suffered some frankly rotten buying etiquette recently.
Domestic or GSP buyers only please.
