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.
THE BEATLES
Help / I'm Down
Very Rare 1969 Press that Features the 'Parlophone' Rimtext but Omits 'Sold in UK'!
This listing is for a rare 1969 pressing of the Beatles UK Parlophone single 'Help / I'm Down'.
It appears that this was pressed in 1969 as it has high mother / stamper codes and has the little 'polo' indent around the centrehole in the pushout. However, the labels have the old, original 1965 design with the chubbier typeset and Parlophone rimtext on both sides. Maybe EMI found some old label stock when they were running off a small batch in 1969 and decided to use them?
Either way, this is an exceptionally rare variation of this classic single, and in a very clean condition!
Please check out large, detailed photos of this record at the bottom of this listing.

My Vinyl Grading:
MINT No true preowned disc can be mint. The highest I will ever grade a disc is NM+/M- if it looks untouched and unplayed, but the MINT description will only be for records I personally know have never been played (i.e. I personally bought from new) or for copies that are still sealed. NEAR MINT (NM) For discs that look near flawless and which may have just the slightest, barely visible little whispy marks here and there. EXCELLENT (EX) For discs that still retain a brilliant, clean shine but does have some light scuffs here and there. VERY GOOD (VG) For discs that still look clean and have a nice shine to them, but do have a fair amount of light scuffmarks and/or some light scratches. GOOD (G) For discs that look like they have been loved and have a fair amount of scuffs and surface scratches. Not in terrible condition, but would look like it would play with a lot of crackle. FAIR (F) For discs that may have some life left in them but are pretty trashed with numerous surface scuffs and heavier scuffs and scratches etc POOR (P) For discs that are unplayable and look completely trashed. Discs like this would only ever be offered if they were insanely rare.
