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 MONO 1965 Help! Consignment Decca 2nd Pressing, STUNNING NM Vinyl!

Gorgeous vinyl on this one.  Just two very minor flaws!  Second pressing lacks the blank space after “The Bitter End.”  “You’re Gonna Lose That Girl” is listed as “You’re Going to Lose That Girl.”  Both on side 2 label.

Vinyl--- NM/EX.  Side 1 has a very short, very light mark on the first band.  Side 2 has one light scratch on “Ticket to Ride.”  Otherwise, this copy looks sparkling brand new.

Plates--- T9P/T9P.  The additional letter in the plate numbers are Decca characteristics.  No other insignias present, as Decca didn’t use those.

Cover--- EX.

Labels--- NM/NM.  Both labels look like they were just printed this morning. 

Labels are flat against the vinyl.  Concentric ring is very close to the spindle hole.  Both of these are Decca lathe trademarks. 

NO SPINDLE MARKS. 

Capitol Inner Sleeve--- Gorgeous NM.  Olive green Capitol inner sleeve lies flat with full color graphics and razor-sharp edges.  NO SPLIT SEAMS.

A generic inner sleeve will be provided, so as not to damage your original Capitol inner sleeve en route.

RIAA: N/A.

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!)
