Description
Please be aware that all records are VISUALLY graded only - all grades are given based on how they appear under my desk lamp - since I do not own a record player. I cannot guarantee that discs will be click and skip free, although any marks and scratches that might possibly cause such problems will be highlighted clearly in the description.
All photos are of the actual item on sale. I do not use stock or 'borrowed' images.

On offer here is a very rare 1st pressing of the Beatles LP 'Help!' on the Parlophone label.
This is an extremely rare error pressing where a side 2 label has been fixed to both sides of the disc.
These kinds of errors occur when a batch of the wrong labels were loaded into the machine and a very small number of copies were affected during the crossover. These copies were usually caught by quality control but a few got passed and ended up in the shops.
Today these are very hard to find!
...
The cover is holding up nicely for its age! The front has creamed quite noticeably but is lovely and clean with a lovely, thick laminate with minimal rubbing. There's some little creases around the edges in the laminate. Top seam is holding tight with no splits or tears. There's a little wear on the bottom seam but has not split or torn. The spine is holding fine with with no splits, tears and with just a couple of little creases running through it and with all text fully legible. The back cover has browned a little, a lottle moreso down the mouthedge. There's a small patch of rubbing at the top right and a label scar and the overflaps are a little yellowed but holding fine. Looking nice, overall! Disc (Visually Graded Only!!) : VG
The playing surface has a nice shine and there's a fair amount of light scuffs and marks all over, a little moreso on side 2. Side 2 does have some slightly heavier looking scuffs and marks.
.
The labels are looking nice with ssome light spindlewear and a little whitening around the centrehole. The label on side 1 has had the '2's lightly scribbled over and the number 1 written up on either side of the £ symbol at the top.
.
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
