ATTENTION SERIOUS BEATLES COLLECTORS! SELECTED FROM MY OWN COLLECTION TO BE APPRECIATED AS A HIGHLIGHT IN ANY SERIOUS COLLECTION OF RARE BEATLES RECORDS.

HERE IS AN ORIGINAL 1965 YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS STEREO 1ST EDITION OF THE FAMOUS GROUND BREAKING ALBUM:"HELP!" THAT WILL BE 48 YEARS OLD THIS YEAR-THIS COPY PRESSED WITHIN THE FIRST FEW WEEKS OF THE ALBUM'S DEBUT.

HARDLY ANY STEREO COPIES SOLD DURING THE FIRST FEW YEARS OF ISSSUE-THE VAST MAJORITY OF BEATLES FANS DID NOT START BUYING STEREO ALBUMS UNTIL THE END OF THE 1960s. EVEN THOSE THAT DID HAVE STEREO EQUIPMENT,WOULD PLAY THE RECORDS OVER AND OVER AGAIN ESPECIALLY BEATLES LPs! THIS IS THE BEST STEREO ORIGINAL COPY I HAVE EVER FOUND-A TRUE UPGRADER! NATURALLY THIS ONE HAS THE YELLOW AND BLACK LABELS WITH THE"SOLD IN THE UK"TEXT. UNLIKE MOST COPIES THAT TURN UP,THESE LABELS ARE VERY CLEAN-HARDLY ANY SPINDLE WEAR NO WRITING,NO FADING,NO STAINING,NO MARKINGS etc. SEE MY PHOTOS TO SEE THE VIBRANT PRINT. THEY HAVE A LOVELY SHEEN TO THEM AND NO NASTY CIGARETTE SMELL EITHER! THE GRAMOPHONE CO.LTD RIM TEXT. 

IT HAS THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE -1/-1 MATRIXES DENOTING THE VERY FIRST MOTHERS WERE USED TO STAMP THIS COPY AS WELL AS HAVING THE EARLY RAISED PRINT TAX CODE OF M T ON THE SIDE TWO LABEL-MOST DON'T HAVE ANY CODES!

THERE ARE THE FOLLOWING MATRIX CODINGS: SIDE ONE:YEX 168-1 at 6"0"CLOCK. 4 at 9"0"CLOCK and L M at 3"0"CLOCK.

SIDE TWO:YEX 169-1 at 6"0"CLOCK. 4 at 9"0"CLOCK and O A at 2"0"CLOCK.

THE DISC IS 100% FLAT WITH THICK VINYL WHICH TRULY GLEAMS WITH THAT"JUST PRESSED" LOOK-THERE ARE JUST ONE TINY,FAINT SURFACE MARK IN STRONG LIGHT. FANTASTIC TO LOOK AT AND OF UPGRADER STANDARD. THE DISC HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED!!VERY WELL CARED FOR WITH HARDLY ANY SURFACE NOISE-EVEN IN BETWEEN THE TRACKS! THERE ARE NO CLICKS, STICKS OR JUMPS! NO DISTORTION EVEN LISTENING AS I DO WITH THE TREBLE FULL ON TO HEAR IT AT IT'S WORSE POSSIBLE. STRICTLY GRADED AS NEAR MINT CONDITION BUT PLEASE CHECKOUT MY FEEDBACK FOR STRICT GRADING REPORTS ON MANY BEATLES ALBUMS! UNLIKE OTHER SELLERS, I PLAY ALL MY EBAY ITEMS THROUGH TO ENSURE REALISTIC GRADINGS SO  BID WITH 100% CONFIDENCE ON THIS ITEM. HOUSED IN A LAMINATED FRONT+FLIPBACK COVER WITH TWO TINY EDGE CREASES AND A SMALL ONE FURTHUR IN BUT VERY CLEAN WITH NO WRITING,RIPS OR REPAIRS.NOTE THE WHITENESS AND BRIGHTNESS-SO UNUSUAL FOR THIS LP COVER!

PRINTED BY GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE WITH THE "PATENTS PENDING" CREDIT DENOTING ONE OF THE EARLIEST EVER PRINTED!

 EASY TO READ SPINE DETAILS-MOST ARE WORN AWAY-NOT THIS ONE!(SEE PHOTO #5)

NO LAMINATION PEELING-A LOVELY SHEEN TO IT! THE LP IS HOUSED IN THE CORRECT AND ORIGINAL EMITEX TRACING PAPER INNER SLEEVE.

I BOUGHT THIS LP MANY YEARS AGO FROM A FORMER 1960s RECORD SHOP OWNER WHO KEPT BACK SELECTIVE LPs THAT HE RARELY PLAYED.  DURING THE YEARS I HAVE OWNED IT I HAVE ONLY PLAYED IT A COUPLE OF TIMES-I TEND TO PLAY LATER REPRESSES FOR LISTENING PLEASURE!THERE ARE 5 DIFFERENT PHOTOS TO STUDY!

A REALISTIC £100 STARTING PRICE-NO RESERVE BUT EXPECT KEEN INTEREST IN THIS IMPORTANT ADDITION TO ANY BEATLES COLLECTION WHICH I HAVE ENJOYED OWNING FOR OVER 20 YEARS!

JUST TWO OWNERS IN 48 YEARS.

MOST COPIES SOLD 48 YEARS AGO IN 1965 WERE OFTEN PLAYED A LOT USUALLY USING ANCIENT,HEAVY AND AWFUL EQUIPMENT, SO OFTEN TAKEN TO PARTIES RESULTING IN ALL KINDS OF DAMAGE!-THIS ONE IS ONE OF THE BEST COPIES YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO FIND! PLEASE SEE THE PHOTOS OF THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE COVER+BOTH LABELS AND THE SPINE DETAILS.

NO HORRIBLE SMOKE OR DAMP SMELL AS SO OFTEN THE CASE WITH SUCH OLD LPs!

MOST WILL REMAIN ON COLLECTORS SHELVES!THIS IS A LOVELY THICK,FLAT PRESSING!

GREAT VOCALS AND GUITARWORK WITH  WARM SOUNDING VINYL + AMAZING BASS!

THE STEREO MIXES OF THIS ALBUM ARE DIFFERENT TO THE MONO ONES AND MOST BEATLES COLLECTORS WILL WANT TO OWN BOTH BUT OF COURSE THE MAJORITY OF STEREO COPIES THAT SURVIVE ARE NOT VERY GOOD AT ALL-THIS BEING AN EXCEPTION-SO DON'T MISS OUT!
