Description

This is the Beatles Help vinyl album details below:


A First pressing. August 6, 1965. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” prnted at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text. Capitol print. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner and Matrix numbers: Side 1: XEX 549-2; Side 2: XEX 550-2.


This is Variation A. The original 1st labels used a Sans-Serif font and the * credit indicator for “I Need You”was placed to the right of the song title with a space between: I Need You *.


The album vinyl is in excellent condition plays very well

I can not see any marks scuffs scratches.


The album cover is in good to very good condition it has shelf wear and some discolouration on the rear which is due to handling over the years 

In the light on the front you can see where someone has written on top of the cover and there are light indentations.

Please note they have not written on the cover there are just writing indentations which are very light and only slightly noticeable at certain angles 


This is a very good copy the VINYL is in fantastic condition.


I use the following guide:

Record Collector Magazine's Grading Guide:


"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 might have 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, discolouration, etc.


FAIR: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise; it may even jump. The cover and contents will be torn, stained and / or defaced.


POOR: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise, etc. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.
