LOVELY EARLY PRESSING HERE
Vinyl:
QUALITY 148g
VG(+). I grade this as such due to some visible light needle marks and a small light patch of scuffing. After playing her all the way through, I found a few small skips to tracks 1 and 2 on side 1, as well just light crackles every now and then...
Labels: VG+. Lovely and clear. Some spindle marks but only visible when really looking for them or angled towards the light. "KT" tax code lovely and proud to side 2. Outer text
"The Gramaphone Co.LTD"
It DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
THE SIDE 1 LABEL HAS THE ASTERIX AFTER TRACK 4 LISTING...LATER PRESSINGS HAD THE ASTERIX INFRONT OF THE TRACK LISTING-THIS IS THE 1ST PRESSING.
Cover: VG.
CORRECT 1ST PRINTING WITH OUTLINED STEREO TO FRONT COVER
Still bright to the front laminate, with some minimal spidering to the front laminate. Two of the corners are slightly rubbed and knocked-but nothing severe...Please see the detailed images.
OUTLINE STEREO!
NO WRITING ANYWHERE!!!
NO SPLITS OR TEARS
Good strong spine.
Excellently strong Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks with
"Patents Pending"
Inner: EX-. Original "Use Emitex" poly-lined inner.
Very early too as it carries the "PATENTS APPLIED FOR" statement printed to the bottom left corner.
There is a fair amount of discolouration, but she remains strong without rips, tears or even writing.
Here is a SOLID example of an increasingly rare STEREO, PARLOPHONE version of the HELP! Lp... AND IT IS THE 1st PRESS
