Description
A lovely genuine copy of the Help album played a few times and then stored for many years.
The vinyl is surprisingly good just a couple of very light hairlines non feelable even under close examination I would grade conservatively as EX.
The labels are also in very good condition clear bright no rub wear labels or writing under close examination there are a few spindle lines, again I would conservatively as EX.
Inner sleeve VG
Cover is intact no damage or splits including writing all four corner sharp including spine. There is a small area of discolouration in the bottom R hand corner which is possibly a water stain. i would grade as VG+ would be a higher grade if not for the the water mark.
Audio: played on my Dual CS 505 with Ortofon cartridge lovely and clear just a few pops and crakle between track would benefit from a good clean, but no skips or repeat skips I would grade EX+
This pressing has three items defined in relief on side A label - not the tax code but instead the Parlophone '£' logo itself as well as the words to its left and right 'Trade' and 'Mark' respectively. Each letter of the words is within its respective word uniquely embossed as 'T-R-A-D-E-£-M-A-R-K' rather than appearing embossed either in three blocks for each word or together in a single block. See relevant images above.
