On offer here is a VERY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "Help!" and is an ORIGINAL 1969 UK 2nd Pressing on the 2nd Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  THIS IS ONE OF THE BEATLES RAREST & MOST SOUGHT AFTER LPs EVER - AND VIRTUALLY NEVER TURNS UP FOR SALE!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS PRESSED IN MEGA RARE STEREO, AND IS WITHOUT ANY DOUBT - THE ALL TIME RAREST VARIATION OF THIS LP EVER MADE!!!!  AND THIS IS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND ON THIS LP!!!!  THIS LP WAS ONLY EVER PRESSED LIKE THIS IN MID 1969 ONLY (2 OR 3 MONTHS!) - AND IS ONE OF THE RAREST BEATLES VARIATIONS YOU WILL EVER SEE!!!!  IN FACT, THIS COVER LOOKS VERY STRANGE INDEED - ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ARE SO USED TO AN 'OUTLINE STEREO' IN THE CUSTOMARY POSITION IN THE TOP RIGHT CORNER!!!!  I WILL EXPLAIN JUST HOW RARE THIS LP REALLY IS!!!! 

IN MAY 1969 PARLOPHONE DECIDED TO 'DROP' THE 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT ON THEIR LABELS - AS IT WAS NO LONGER REQUIRED!!!!  AND SO BETWEEN JUNE 1969 & LATE 1969 PARLOPHONE USED THIS VERY SHORT LIVED YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL - WITH NO 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT!!!!  NOW THIS WOULD BE RARE ENOUGH IN ITS OWN RIGHT - BUT SOMETIME IN THIS PERIOD, PARLOPHONE RAN OUT OF THE ORIGINAL 'OUTLINE' STEREO 1ST PRESS COVERS, AND HASTILY PRINTED JUST ONE BATCH OF 'SOLID STEREO' COVERS FOR THESE LABELS ONLY!!!!  ONLY 1 BATCH WAS EVER USED AND DESPITE WHAT CERTAIN 'COMIC BOOKS' (SORRY 'GUIDE BOOKS') TELL YOU, THIS COVER WAS ONLY EVER USED IN 1969 ONLY!!!!  WHICH IS EXACTLY WHY YOU WILL NEVER EVER FIND A 1ST PRESS RECORD INSIDE THIS COVER TYPE - BECAUSE THIS ULTRA RARE 'SOLID STEREO' COVER WAS ONLY EVER MADE IN 1969 FOR THESE ULTRA RARE YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABELS ONLY!!!!  ONLY A FEW HUNDRED COPIES WERE EVER MADE WITH THIS ULTRA RARE 'SOLID STEREO' COVER IN 1969 ONLY - AND THERE IS ABSOLUTELY NO DOUBT AT ALL, THAT THIS IS ONE OF THE ALL TIME RAREST BEATLES RARITIES ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD TODAY (AND CERTAINLY THE RAREST VARIATION OF 'HELP!' IT IS POSSIBLE TO GET)!!!!

No is PCS 3071 on the ORIGINAL 2nd Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label (see picture) and is a much MUCH rarer STEREO pressing!!!! 

The record labels are in SUPERB condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear, only some VERY minor 'bobbling', and only a few VERY light spindle marks!!!!  The vinyl is in GREAT condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, only a few VERY light hairlines, only 2 or 3 VERY small scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND SHINES LIKE NEW!!!!  It is also great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual!!!!  It plays with NO pops, barely ANY clicks, NO sticking, NO jumps, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply SUPERB with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!!  The record must grade Very Good (PROPERLY graded, NOT trashed!) if not better!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!!  I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL inner sleeve which is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  The ULTRA RARE 2nd Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Laminated 'Patents Pending' Flipback 'SOLID STEREO' Cover is in BRILLIANT condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, only VERY slight corner wear (NOT through the colour!), only a few VERY light creases (cover is VERY flat looking!), VERY shiny laminate, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!!  Even the unlaminated back of the cover is in BRILLIANT condition with NO grubbyness, NO yellowing, NO rubbing, NO ringwear, and NO writing!!!!  The cover must grade Very Good++ if not better - and is a very VERY nice cover indeed!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO LOCATE - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
