Description
Beatles - Help!
Original UK 1965
Parlophone PMC1255
Label variation on a label variation
This is a variation B, but the alignment of the two "Girls" is exact, not closely aligned as is normal
If you look at the track list on side One.
Track Five - There is an extra space between "Another" and "Girl" - this aligns the "Girl" from Another Girl directly over the top of the the "Girl" from Your Going To Loose That Girl.
Normally the Two "Girls" are slightly offset.
All gradings are to be read in conjunction with the item description, and the high resolution images of the actual item being sold.

Description
A beautiful clean record, with a nice sheen / gloss.
A nice quiet background and a strong first issue sound. Light markings to the surface, but minimal effect on playback.
A fantastic playback, with only the faintest of the lightest noise in the deadwax between songs - and I mean faint, the playback is so close to Near Mint, but just not quite there
A solid and complete sleeve and inner in Very Good condition, with no rips or tears, some writing on the back has been whited out. - see pics
Nice labels - see pics
(M) MINT: The piece it is describing is Sealed or undamaged in any way. unquestionably perfect.
(This classification is often overused by deceptive sellers. Here it is reserved for perfect unsealed items, and the contents of undamaged sealed records, - it must be beyond doubt - "as new") - Rarely, if ever used by me... it is too subjective and open for dispute.
(NM) NEAR MINT. The piece it is describing is unsealed, but shows no sign of deterioration and looks as it was when it was new.
(EX) EXCELLENT ( or VG+) The piece it is describing shows some slight signs of deterioration, use or slight wear.
(VG) VERY GOOD: The piece it is describing has obviously been used, but has been well looked after, displays no significant deterioration, just normal wear.
(G) GOOD: The piece it is describing has been used so much that it has noticeably deteriorated, but with only minor blemishes.
Good is not bad - Good is still Good, - I do not sell below this playback grade unless the label is in high demand and in short supply.
(F) FAIR: The piece it is describing is still usable but has not been cared for properly and displays obvious signs of deterioration.
(P) POOR: The piece it is describing will function properly, but shows signs of significant damage or deterioration.
(B) BAD: The piece it is describing is unusable, missing or damaged beyond repair and does not function as intended.
Notes
First pressing. August 6, 1965. Black label with yellow logo and silver print. “The Gramophone Co. Ltd.” printed at the start perimeter print and “Sold in U.K. subject…” text. Capitol print. Tracing-paper-lined “Use Emitex” die-cut inner sleeve. With or without KT tax code on the label.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 *.
Variation B (this one). Side 1 is practically the same as in variation 1A but the titles of “Girl” on track 5 and 6 are now aligned directly above each other. Side 2 has a few more differences in the tracklist layout. Most noticeably, the second line now begins with BIEM instead of NCB; and “Yesterday” now no longer begins on its own line. The layout in general is neater with the space being used a little more efficiently.
