Description
Artist: THE BEATLES
Title: HELP!
Format: stereo LP
Label: PARLOPHONE, UK (PCS 3071)
Year: 1965
Style: Beatles!, soundtrack
Info: Rare original UK stereo pressing LP with black and yellow labels containing "THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD" and "SOLD IN U.K..." label text.
This is a very collectable 1st pressing with matrix numbers YEX 168-1 and YEX 169-1, and the stampers are 2/AG and 3/PG.
What makes this copy a real rarity however is that there is no 'stereo' logo on the sleeve! Normally on 1st pressings it says stereo in outline in the top right corner of the front cover, but on this copy it is blank!
Comes in original G&L front laminated flipback picture sleeve and has plain poly-lined inner sleeve.
14 famous tracks...
Vinyl in very good+ condition and looks fairly clean with just bits of light wear, an occasional light scuff and a couple of small light hairline scratches which do not affect play. Plays with slight background crackles which can only be heard in between songs, and the music actually plays smoothly and clearly, and sounds great! No skips or clicks. So really not a bad copy at all!
Labels are clean other than spindle marks and mild wear around the edges of the centre holes. There are quite a few spindle marks so this has been played over the years, but obviously well looked after and played on decent equipment. No writing or stickers.
Sleeve in very good condition with just average general wear and no outstanding faults, writing or stickers. There are a couple of small creases on and running off the main spine, but otherwise the spines are pretty clean, intact and in shape. Opening edge corners slightly scuffed. Some light discolouring on rear.
