Firstly a bit of history of the album.....HELP was the BEATLES'  5th album coming out on the 6th August 1965. The premier of the album was played in London on the 29th July. Once again reaching the top spot in all record magazines of that era...as they had done with the previous four albums!

LOVELY AND EARLY FOR THIS PRESSING


Vinyl:
HEAVY QUALITY 141g
VG(+). Looking at the vinyl, I see 4 marks to side 1, but side 2 is lovely and clean.
 I have just played her all the way through and was greeted with simply SUPERB clear sound reproduction..just minimal background noise-noticed in the quieter sections-those marks barely make a difference to the audio reproduction.
NO skips or jumps
Deep and rich sound
FLAT, HEAVY AND SHINY


Labels: VG+
 NO hole wear to speak of.
No "Sold in the U.K." text.
Rim text starts with "GRAMOPHONE Co.Ltd."
These were made around the very end of the 1960's and the very start of the 1970's
There is a name to side 1 in black biro-see if you can spot it in the detailed images provided.
"MADE IN GT BRITAIN" text to bottom of the label.


Cover: VG++.  Bright white cover WITH 3 Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks....NOW you don't get to see these very often! These were fazed out in favor of the much more common covers with the flipbacks pasted on the inside.
Garrod and Lofthouse Patents Pending print to the back, bottom flipback

I can see a few lines of spidering to the front, near the opening and a small nick to the opening of about 1cm, THAT REALLY IS IT!
STRONG spine
STRONG corners
REALLY QUITE UNUSUAL
LAMINTED front
BRIGHT, WHITE BACKING CARD
**SUPERB**

Inner: EX+. It is the all ORIGINAL SEPIA ADVERT inner- in TOP condition! Just light feathering and light discolouration.
Certainly done her job by keeping this record in great condition.

So.......
ALL IN ALL THIS REALLY IS A COLLECTORS PIECE
WITH THE RARER 3 FLIPBACK COVER..!!
-SO GRAB THIS BEAUTY WITH BOTH HANDS...ALL ORIGINAL AND COMPLETE
