The Beatles, Help!

Parlophone B/Y 1965 Mono PMC 1255

The Beatles Help! I have never seen a copy in this kind of condition. This LP has been in storage for many years and only recently seen the light of day. I have audio tested this LP in its entirety and the sound is flawless. The sleeve is in incredible condition (pictures worth a thousand words etc). Admittedly there are some very minor flaws - some very, very minor rubbing to the lower front of the sleeve, there are some very light hairlines and tiny marks when viewed under a strong light and a few faint spindle marks. I have erred on the side of caution and downgraded this to NM-/Ex+ to reflect this. Overall, incredible record in this condition and an asset to anyone's record collection. Winning bidder will not be disappointed.

If you purchase multiple items, please request an invoice before making payment as I will need to send you an invoice with postal discounts deducted.

I will be happy to stockpile records should you wish to purchase a number of items over a certain period of time and minimise the shipping costs. Please inform me beforehand if you intend to do this.

I accept Paypal, Cheques and Postal Orders

The price quoted on the eBay tab is for first class postage via UK Royal Mail and includes the cost of specifically designed record mailers. All postage costs are based on the weight of the record(s) & packaging quoted in the listing. I offer postal discount on multiple purchases and the following should be used as a guideline for calculating the overall cost of shipping.

    UK         + 0.50 GBP for each additional 12" record UK        + 0.30 GBP for each additional 7" record
    Europe   + 1.25 GBP for each additional 12" record Europe + 0.30 GBP for each additional 7" record
    ROTW    + 2.50 GBP for each additional 12" record ROTW + 0.56 GBP for each additional 7" record

Please note the above are approximations based on previous mailings. The final postage cost may be slightly more or less dependent upon the overall weight of the items. In exceptional circumstances i.e. when a record has high value I may request a signed for delivery which will incur a surcharge. N.b. I do not make money from overcharging on shipping costs - the stated price is the cost of the UK Royal Mail service + the cost of record mailers & stiffener. Please email for shipping costs outside of the UK for packages in excess of 2Kg.

Grading will be based on the following:

Mint    Record is new - I will not grade any record as Mint condition unless it is a new, un-played item.
NM     Record has probably been played, but has been well looked after, sleeve appears new
EX      Record shows signs of being played, sleeve has slight wear
VG     Record has minor surface marks/light scratches, sleeve shows signs of normal wear & tear
Good Record has mild scratches/surface marks, cover has creases/folds, scuffing, spine split etc.

+/- will be added to indicate that the record falls somewhere in between the broader grades above

I will not sell any record falling below a grading of good.

I aim to describe each record's condition as accurately as possible. All record grading will be done via visual inspection and any imperfections will be given in detail and audio tested. I guarantee to accept returned items if you are not happy with the gradings I have given. Occasionally, some imperfections may get overlooked and if for any reason there is a problem with any of the records you have purchased, or items have gone astray in the postal system - please contact me and I will try to rectify the issue as quickly as possible. Please do not leave feedback until the matter has been resolved.
