Description
Welcome To My Auction You are bidding on a 12" mono vinyl pressing of 'Help!' by the Beatles. Parlophone PMC 1255. XEX 549-2, XEX 550-2. 1st UK press with the yellow and black label. This is your chance to own a genuine 1st press, UK, mono issue of this LP. Yes, there are a few visual shortcomings to this album that can be seen on close inspection, but it still sounds great. There are a few spindle marks on the label and there are a few surface scuffs on the vinyl itself, most significantly on track 1, side 2, but these do not sound. The rear cover has 'Polly' written on the top flipback and has some 'X's written next to some of the tracks on the track listing. I have photographed both of these instances. Please look at my pictures. In light of these faults, I can only grade the album as VG/VG, but be assured that it's still worthy of a place in any record collection. I will start the auction at a low price.
--------------------------------------- Neither I, nor my partner in this venture (a retired second-hand record shop owner) make a living from selling records or the occasional collectible. A lot of what we do sell is either his old stock, which has lain unplayed and unhandled in his loft since his retirement (over 10 years ago), or collectibles that he has acquired over the years. Though we do not actively seek out new sources of vinyl, my partner's contacts within the trade do occasionally throw up the odd item of interest. Between us, we have years of collecting experience, although most of this experience must be attributed to him.
Payment
Overseas bidders to pay using Paypal only! I will not accept cheques drawn on foreign banks!
I will accept both cheques and Paypal from UK bidders.
Postage and packing
I use sturdy, custom made, corrugated cardboard mailers and put the albums or singles in a protective PVC or polythene sleeve. It's how I would like to receive any vinyl I choose to buy on the net. 'Send as you would be sent to' I always say. Unless otherwise specified by the buyer, I will post the record inside the cover itself.
If you have any other postal requirements, please contact me.
