The Beatles
Help!
1st Press
(Rare different typface labels)
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!
Catalogue number: PMC 1255
Matrix Number Side 1: XEX 549-2

Mothers/Stampers Side 1: LD @ 3 O'clock 5 at 9 O'clock

Vinyl: EX-. I grade this as such due to just light hairline/needle marks to both sides BUT nothing AT ALL to affect playback....Still sounds great!...Nice and quiet inbetween tracks as well as the run in.
Still has the glorious sheen and is lovely and flat.
Labels: EX. Lovely and clear... Only light spindle marks.
"KT" tax code, nice and bold to side one.
Outer text "The Gramophone co.LTD" it DOES have the "Sold in the uk.." text.
Really nice-Light hole wear and no writing or scratches etc.
NOW HERE IS THE UNUSUAL PART: THE LABELS HAVE TWO DIFFERENT TYPFACES!!! PLEASE SEE THE DEATILED PHOTO'S-THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN OFTEN AT ALL.
VERY NICE INDEED
Cover: VG++. An lovely example. Strong corners, with only the slightest of dings to it & NO WRITING ANYWHERE!!!
Only a very slight amount of feathering near the opening-certainly nothing to detract from this wonderful copy. Only slight discolouration to the back card with light dirt...Really could be a display piece.
Very strong and clear spine. Lovely white cover with ittle discolouration.
Wonderully strong Garrod & Lofthouse flipbacks with the rarer:
"Patents Pending"
Overall, very VERY nice
Inner: VG+ ORIGINAL "Use Emitex" inner, with a small split of 9cm to the bottom seem...Other than that-fantastic.
The plastic lining has certainly kept this record in a wonderful condition.
