Description

The Beatles Help! Parlophone mono U.K yellow on black text a very rare item as the 1G/G mother stamper pressing are is an ultra RARE early and copy I am sure these pressing are the first 300 of this batch to be pressed (But please do correct me if I am wrong with this figure).. This would be a great item for the mother stamper hunters out there..This has become more collectable with some dealers paying top price for some records due to how early the stamper numbers are.. I myself a collect but I only the best records and the mother stamper is of very little interest to myself so a very fair start price for a nice copy..

After many e-mails and watchers I have now updated the listing of  this very early 1st pressing and being one of the first batch pressed this has the 1G/G mother stamps a very early and collectable copy ..

The low level noise is very very light and will not spoil the mono sound..At most only a couple of the light single ticks between a track or two but nothing bad at all great mono sound.. The sleeve I have covered by full size photo of the item as is label photo.All scuffs/lines are very small and have no impact on the sound quality...Any more questions feel free to ask all the best Bill
