Beatles – Help! Shell version, EX/VG++

4st pressing, SWE – Parlophone 5C 062 04257.

The Vinyl is EX,  The cover is VG++,

This is it : 

The real original Swedish only release of the Fab Four’s masterpiece Help!.

There is some “push through” writing on the back of the cover, but not very obvious.

Check out the picture(s).

There are two versions of this record : one with a Dutch disc and one with a Swedish disc.

The covers are the same.

This is the much rarer Swedish version

There comes a time in your life when there are more important things than collecting Beatles.

Therefore my Beatles collection will be for sale in the upcoming months.

Time to find a caring Beatles collector. I am obviously not a vinyl trader.

All my records are visually graded. I did NOT play them on a record player.

So I give NO information about skips and jumps.

Very often the cover was the reason to buy.

Long ago most of them were played once to transfer to music-cassette.

They were all kept in plastic covers in a smoke free room.

I  do my best to accurately describe the item(s) listed on the auctions as I see them. However it is possible that I  may overlook an important feature or detail that is important to you. My grading is often lower than actual to avoid disappointments afterwards. Please email all questions before bidding.

Due to personal reasons I have to sell my Beatles collection.

So NO refunds, sorry.

Shipping inside Europe between 17 and 26 US$, Outside Europe 32 US$.

Grading according the British Record Collector catalog:

Sealed = store stock new

Mint = Never Played, a 9,8 or better on a 1-10 scale

Near Mint = extremely nice. Would be Mint, except for a couple of light hairlines  or scuffs, which do not affect play (  9 on a 1-10 scale)

EX = Very Nice (  8 on a 1-10 scale).

VG++ = still a very nice record with all or nearly all of its original gloss but may have a few more light,  surface marks, hairlines, needle tracks or the like which should not materially effect play (  7 on a 1-10 scale).

VG+ = a nice, but used record that may have a series of light scuffs or scratches. It probably plays  with a few pops, but has no serious problems. (  6 on a 1-10 scale)

VG = a well-used record that still should sound OK when played, but may have moderate surface noise, pops, etc. (  5 on a 1-10 scale)

VG- = a very well-worn record that plays through without skipping, but will do until a better copy comes along. (  4 on a 1-10 scale)

Good = not actually good at all but probably will play through but with much in the way of surface noise, pops, crackles, etc. Still, will have no cracks, chips or the like (  3 on a 1-10 scale)

Fair = you’re getting this record just to own but not to play(  2 on a 1-10 scale)
