Description

INCREDIBLY RARE! This is a knockout original pressing Beatles HELP album from Holland that was produced exclusively in Holland with alternate Shell cover to promote Shell fuel. This album is right up there with the "Yesterday and Today" butcher cover album as an elite among Beatles collectibles. Actually, this could be deemed even more of a rarity since fewer are in circulation these days. The album follows the UK song listings format as well as cover design, with the bold and conspicuous exception of the Shell logo back-drop on the front. This LP with its alternate picture sleeve was only ever issued to Shell staff members (2000 copies) and was never available for purchase!! The album itself is still reckoned as one of the most desired Beatles collectables worldwide. This is one of the few opportunities to purchase this album.

Catalog number: PARLOPHONE 5C 062-04257

Sleeve: As you can see on the photos the overall condition of the sleeve is very good. On the back there is very slight ringwear.

Record: The record is in a great condition, no deep scratches or scuffs on the vinyl, maybe a few "angel hairline" marks can be seen under a bright light. Plays through both sides without jumping, skipping, clicking or propping, truly superb audio, you will not be disappointed. Both the A-side and B-side labels are in perfect condition as can be seen on the photo.
