Description

(Note:  If you win multiple items in a week’s listings, please wait for the end of all of the auctions for me to invoice you, so that you can take advantage of my combined shipping offer.  Thanks!)

 

READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning.  I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

So with that said…

 

Beatles LP 1975 Help! Toughest “All Rights” Variation, Los Angeles

 

One might think that the scrolling text version is the toughest.  But for the time it took me to find an upgrade, this one surely gave me a hard time!

It’s the “All Rights” variation with the disclaimer on two lines at the bottom of the label on side 1, 5 lines in the right shoulder of the sliced Apple on side 2.

Yever see one?

 

Vinyl--- EX/ EX.  Side 1 is NM, with the exception of a very small dig, about 1/8th of an inch in the last track, “In the Tyrol.”  (As if you’d listen to that track anyway…)  It does create a tic for about three rotations.

Side 2 is NM, but has a barely perceptible line through the first two tracks that you must tilt the LP into a light source to see at all.  It’s due north of the Apple stem.  My camera couldn’t pick it up.

Plates--- F15/ F16.  Machine-stamped asterisk in the dead wax makes this copy pressed in Los Angeles.

Cover--- VG.  Light, uniform yellowing.  Small stain at the top on the back.  Top seam has shelfwear, and a section that looks like rodent chew.  Well, don’t look at me, I didn’t do it!  Bottom seam and spine are muscular-strong.

Labels--- NM/ NM.

Capitol Inner Sleeve--- Generic white.

If this is the first one you’ve ever seen, it’s going to be the last one for a long time to come.

 

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)

Note:  All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)

Shipping is $4.87 for Media Mail for up to 3 single or double albums, excluding boxed sets within the U.S.  $4.87 covers shipping for up to 5 singles within the U.S.  eBay doesn't allow discussions or requirements on protecting your orders during transit, so please ask.

Winners in all other countries will be charged actual shipping to their locations, so please wait to be invoiced.  You will be quoted for the cheapest shipping to your country that the US post office can afford me.  Please let me know if you would prefer to pay for a faster means of shipping, but do NOT ask me to declare packages as gifts, or any other means of defrauding the postal services.  Much appreciated.
