Description
After selling most of my LP collection, I am now selling a few that I have left which are mostly Beatles related.
All my LPs will have been played at least once and some of them several times. They have however been properly looked after and stored over the years and I am only listing LPs which play to a high quality. Each LP has been played in full prior to listing so my assessment is of the whole record, not just a few samples. My assessments of the quality of the vinyl, sound reproduction and sleeve are based on the widely accepted Record Collector definitions.
This copy of the Beatles LP "Help!" is a first UK pressing on the Parlophone label - catalogue number PMC 1255, matrix numbers XEX 549-2 and XEX 550-2 . The album is in very good to excellent condition and all the tracks play perfectly and clearly. There is some crackle but this is only really noticeable between tracks. The vinyl has very few superficial surface marks, certainly nothing out of the ordinary for an LP of this age and nothing which affects the quality of playback. The Garrod and Lofthouse sleeve is also in very good to excellent condition with just some wear along the opening edge, slight scuffing on the corners and the spine and minor creasing. The lettering on the spine is clear. It also comes with its original "Use Emitex" inner sleeve. This has split at the bottom, but rather than repair it I will put the LP into a separate inner to protect the original inner.
Please look at all the pictures as these form part of the listing.

I prefer payment by PayPal but will accept personal cheques, subject to the cheque clearing before the goods are dispatched.
