THE BEATLES

Title : Help! Label : Parlophone Cat No : PMC 1255

Matrix : XEX 542-2 / 550-2 Issue : UK Original Press

This is the UK Original press of ‘Help' by The Beatles. This original press has 'The Gramophone Company' and 'Sold In UK' label text. It is complete with the original inner sleeve and the earliest Garrod & Lofthouse 'Patents Pending,' Mono laminated flipback sleeve.

The vinyl is in Very Good+ condition. It has a superb bright gloss with a few very light wispy marks on both sides. None of these are heavy and as such when played the sound is still vibrant and extremely clear with superb separation and just the slightest background noise. The voices are sharp, the backing is bold and each track is very clear. The Yellow and Black Parlophone label is completely clean, the black is bold, the silver text is sharp and the yellow is bright. There is just slight spindle wear.

The original and earliest Garrod & Lofthouse 'Patents Pending' flipback laminated sleeve is in Very Good+ condition. The white is extremely bright and the picture is sharp and clear. The back has only the slightest wear and the flipbacks are complete and sealed. The whole cover is very solid and the spine is extremely firm with clear text on a bright background.
