THE BEATLES - Help!
Original 1965 STEREO 1st Press!
On offer is an extremely rare and hard to find original STEREO copy of the Beatles 5th album from 1965.
Original stereo copies of their albums are incredibly difficult to find and so, so rarely come up for sale. This is because, back when this album was originally released, stereogram record players were still very much a novelty that only the very well-off could afford. Stereo records were also much more expensive than mono and, as such, record shops rarely stocked them, keeping stereo pretty much mail-order only and stocking just the mono presses. Because of this, stereo only sold in tiny, tiny amount when this album came out and today are highly collectible!
Comes complete in its original Emitex inner sleeve.
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

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
