THE BEATLES
Title : Help! Label : Parlophone Cat No : PMC 1255
Matrix : XEX 549-2 / 550-2 Issue : UK 1st Press
This is the UK 1st Mono press of ‘Help!' by The Beatles. The labels are Yellow & Black, with the ‘Gramophone Co Ltd’ and ’ Sold In UK’ label text. It has the KT tax code on the Side 2 label. The record is complete with the original Emitex inner sleeve and laminated flipback ‘patents pending’ Garrod & Lofthouse mono sleeve.
The record is in Very Good condition. The vinyl has a sensational high gloss, with a few wispy hairline marks on both sides and one light mark at the end of Side 2. There are no heavy signs of play at all and it lies completely flat on the turntable. There is the slightest noise at the intro but this soon clears and the sound is exceptionally rich and very clear. There are other moments of light noise but It still has the wonderful early heavy vinyl vibrant, complete sound.
The yellow and black Parlophone label is in clean and bright condition. The black is bold, the yellow is bright and the text is sharp. There is just a little light wear. The record is complete with its original Emitex polylined inner sleeve.
The laminated flipback sleeve is in Excellent condition. The colours are bold, the laminate has a stunning bright mirrored shine and the picture is extremely clear. There is the slightest edge and ring wear. The flipbacks are sealed and the unlaminated back is still very bright. The text is sharp and the black is bold. The spine is extremely firm with clear black text on a clean white background.
