Description

Help / I'm Down 1967

R 5305

Matrix: 7XCE 18280-2 and 7XCE 18281-2 (unchanged from 1st pressing)

Stampers: 15ROM and 17ROA

Both sides of the disc are a gleaming near mint, with pristine surfaces that only display one or two barely visible lines. Playback reflects this, with stone cold silent run ins/offs and apart from a touch of peak wear, audio is crystal clear.

The labels are superb, unmarked and undamaged. Although there are some minimal, very light spindle trails, they are almost impossible to detect on these slightly mottled surfaces. These are 1st issues and carry the Parlophone rim text.

This copy comes with its 1967 company advertising sleeve, which is near perfect.

All in all, a fantastic example of a very rare variant.

I have other Beatles items listed, please take a look.
