Description

An original 1st issue of HELP! on the UK Parlophone label from 1965, whilst still riding high in the charts. Matrix 2/2 - 1st cut. The heavy-set vinyl comes housed in an original mono G&L cover with flipbacks. Also included is the original Emitex inner sleeve. So, 100% genuine and 100% complete.
Vinyl (Ex+) In beautiful condition and has only seen light use. Under close inspection there are a couple of light marks per side - nothing remotely troublesome. A thorough testing from beginning to end reveals an EXCELLENT+ level of playback. Intros and inbetweens are very quiet and the audio comes across with perfect clarity. Wow, what a player! It's bold and assured with no sign of background at all. The audio quality is absolutely top-quality.. in fact, it's one of the best renditions of HELP I've ever witnessed. Help was widely regarded as the Beatles foray into the county style/genre. Consequently, many tracks are low-key acoustic. If you don't get yourself a really clean copy you'll be left disappointed. Even the super-doopa TEST track 'Yesterday' plays very nice and clean. If that one plays clean you're really onto something.... All I could detect were a couple of crackles in a couple of isolated moments per side and precious little else....And from 1965 that's not always an easy find. Sweet!
Cover (Ex) It sure is nice to see that iconic front image looking so clean and white. It's not perfectly white, but it's close and way way better than what usually surfaces. There's barely a crease on the front which must be quite unusual. The rear looks superb and has escaped most of the ageing that so often afflicts these early 60's covers. All I can make out is one minuscule age spot.... that's all! Edge wear is extremely limited and the openings still sharpish. All flipbacks are intact and secure, but they have a touch of light ageing. The spine is 100% intact with the text all perfectly visible. Overall the cover retains excellent rigidity. A very fine original specimen that would be hard to equal.
Inner (Ex) No splits and barely any ageing.
