The Beatles vinyl lp Help! Parlophone PMC1255 1966 mono early 2nd pressing Variation A

This pressing from late 1966 used the Times New Roman font for the first time and there was an error on the Side 1 label. As you can see from the photos 'Northern Songs NCB' was placed below 'THE BEATLES' but this error was soon rectified on later 2nd pressings.
This record has been cleaned on a Okki Nokki RCM and test played in full to be graded.
KT tax code is on Side 2.
Matrix:-
XEX549-2 / XEX550-2
Help! vinyl lp. Vinyl is Side 1 Excellent+ / Side 2 Excellent-. The vinyl is very glossy with only small surface marks over 'Act Naturally'. Side 1 plays to a better than Excellent grade with a clear sound with very little background crackle even between tracks with no notable imperfections. I am grading it cautiously at Excellent+. Side 2 has some light pops which are barely audible but nevertheless are present over 'Act Naturally' and the rest of the side plays Excellent+.
Garrod & Lofthouse laminated flipback Sleeve is Excellent. A handling crease, a couple of creases on edges and a couple of indentations on the spine. There is a clean fully legible spine. These are minor imperfections only so the sleeve is graded Excellent. Inner sleeve is a polylined Emitex paper inner.
Summary:- Early label error 2nd pressing with excellent audio and sleeve.

Grading system used:-
Mint (M) The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or Unplayed should be Mint.
Near Mint (NM) The record looks brand new with no scuffing or any deterioration in sound quality and only the smallest hint that its ever been played. The cover and any additional extras are clean, crisp and with no wear whatsoever.
Excellent (EX) The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and/or creasing.
Very Good (VG) The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
Good (G) The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration, etc.
Fair (F) The record is still just about playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and/or
defaced.
Poor (P) The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
