Description
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL 1ST PRESS MONO COPY OF 'HELP' IN ALMOST SHOP BOUGHT CONDITION. BEATLE'S 60'S PRESSINGS IN THIS INVESTMENT CONDITION ARE GETTING HARDER ABND HARDER TO FIND. I'M LUCKY ENOUGH TO OWN TWO AND HAD A REAL STRUGGLE DECIDING WHICH ONE TO LIST.
THE COVER IS BRIGHT, CLEAR AND STILL WHITE. LOOKING VERY CLOSELY THERE IS A SMALL LAMINATE CREASE TOWARDS THE CENTRE OF THE FRONT BUT IT'S BARELY NOTICEABLE AND CERTAINLY DOESN'T DETRACT FROM ITS OVERALL CONDITION. THE BACK IS TOTALLY CLEAN AND WHITE WITH PERFECT UNDAMAGED FLIPBACKS. THE SPINE IS FULLY INTACT.
THE RECORD HAS IT'S FULL GLOSS AND LOOKS BARELY AS IF IT'S EVER BEEN NEAR A RECORD PLAYER. JUST A FEW OF THE LIGHTEST MARKS FROM SLEEVE REMOVAL. IT'S COMES WITH IT'S ORIGINAL EMITEX INNER IN PERFECT CONDITION. THE PICTURES DUE TO FLASH GLARE AND MY OWN CAMERA INEPTITUDE DON'T FULLY DO THE VINYL JUSTICE. THE LABELS ARE IN AS NEW CONDITION WITH NO VISIBLE SPINDLE WEAR OR SPIDER LINES. THE PLAYBACK IS CLEAR WITH THAT BEAUTIFUL MONO SOUND THAT BEATLE'S 60'S PRESSINGS HAVE. JUST THE LIGHTEST OF POPS OCCAISONALLY DURING PLAY BUT I'M BEING VERY FUSSY HERE.
COVER AND LP GRADED MINT MINUS.
SIDE ONE HAS XEX 549-2 MATRIXES AND SIDE TWO XEX 550-2. BOTH ADDITIONALLY ARE STAMPED 1.
I USE STRICT RECORD COLLECTOR GRADING AND AS A COLLECTOR MYSELF RATHER THAN A DEALER AM VERY FUSSY ABOUT WHAT I BUY. I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO DESCRIBE THE ITEM AS ACCURATELY AS POSSIBLE. FULL REFUND IF NOT SATISFIED
