Description
PLEASE READ FIRST!
I'm having to make this even clearer as people are still buying records I'm grading low and as a 'collection filler', and then complain about the audio quality when they try to play them. As I do not own a record player I VISUALLY GRADE my records. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click, skip and noise free (although any marks that may cause such problems will be highlighted in the description).
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.
THE BEATLES
Help!
Original Mono UK Parlophone Pressing!
On offer here is an original 1965 mono copy of the Beatles legendary LP 'Help!' on the UK Parlophone label.
This is a nice clean, example of this awesome LP. Usually copies of these turn up really trashed but this one looks nicely cared for - especially the sleeve. The sleeve looks so good for its age!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

The sleeve is looking spectacular! A beautiful, clean example! The front has yellowed along with the overflaps on the back but the laminate is beautifully textured and clean with a beautiful, clean shine to it. There's minimal damage to the corners which look pretty sharp and there's zero wear on the seams or spine. The back is looking extremely clean with almost zero wear to the unlaminated back, looking so clean! The cover looks as though it's been so carefully looked after in its life - it's hard to believe this is 58 years old! Inner Sleeve Condition - Inserts Condition - Disc Condition(VISUALLY GRADED) The disc is in VG condition. The disc has a nice shine to it but has some light scuffing and faint marks. Nothing bad or nasty looking, though. Label Condition The labels are in EX condition. The labels are clean with some light spindlewear and a touch of whitening around the centrehole.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.price rating
