THE BEATLES
" HELP ! "
MONO LP - YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL - 1965
RARE FIRST PRESSING

"Sold in U.K. subject to ......etc"
"The Gramophone Co. Ltd" around rim.
Small outline "mono" on front cover
"MADE IN Gt. BRITAIN"
Garrod & Lofthouse "flipback" laminated sleeve.
A 1ST PRESSING IN "MONO" - OFFERED IN GREAT CONDITION.
Sleeve: VERY GOOD : "Garrod & Lofthouse" flipback sleeve in great condition. Some light edge creasing, and light handling wear along opening edge and corners. There is a Disc impression to the front of the sleeve. Otherwise unmarked, and all flipback seams are intact.
Inner Sleeve: The original poly lined "Emitex" sleeve in GOOD condition with no unwanted writing, but has small splits to two edges.
Record: VERY GOOD+ : The notably heavier vinyl is in quite fantastic condition - never mind the fact that it is 47 years old. Under strong lights you will find some very light superficial surface scuffs and hairlines, but none of these has any adverse effect on playback.
Labels are very clean and showing only light to average spindle wear.
Personally played and checked for sound quality, and it plays quite beautifully throughout. The original Mono sound is a real pleasure to listen to.

I try to accurately describe the condition as per The Record Collector's Guide's parameters:
MINT: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition. Records advertised as Sealed or unplayed should be mint.
EXCELLENT: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging may have some slight wear and/or creasing.
VERY GOOD: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.
GOOD: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discoloration etc.
