Description
THE BEATLES - HELP!. The Catalogue Number - PCS 3071 - suggests that this is a re-issue from '70/'71: the original was a Number 1 in 1965 (have Guinness Hit Singles & Albums Book as reference for all this) when it stayed at the top for 9 weeks, being book-ended for 20 weeks by The Sound Of Music soundtrack!! The Matrix Number on this ends in 4, suggesting to me that it was a 4th reprint of this re-issue, assuming what I've read about Matrix Numbers is correct. I bought this - and a bunch of other Beatles Albums - probably between '80 & '83 (they were all re-issued again in '87, with different Catalogue Numbers). This plays well (I "cleaned" it only with a record cloth before playing, as always), with no jumps, ticks, or disruptive scratches, so would like to call it "Excellent". For me, the Sleeve is "VG+", only because there are a few obvious marks on the jackets of George & John (please see Images). This Album has their UK Number 1's "Help!" & "Ticket To Ride", and "Yesterday", which was not a hit single until 1976! It has the fabulous "The Night Before", "Another Girl", "Act Naturally" & "I've Just Seen A Face". Fab-4-ulous!
Having recently put all my Records in order, I've started to play through them for the first time in probably over 30 years - highly enjoyable so far - but with space having to be freed up (I have this Album in a different format now, so am happy to let this go to another home), this is the 31st of 366 Artist L.P.'s which I bought (am keeping 19 of them so far), with a further 40 Comedy or Compilation L.P.'s.
Please feel free to ask anything.
Many thanks, Scott.
