Description
FOR SALE IS A COPY OF THE BEATLES' "HELP! (OLP 474)" MONO LP RELEASED IN 1965. THIS IS A RARE VENEZUELA FIRST PRESSING, RELEASED ON ODEON RECORDS, WITH PLASTIC COVER. WHAT MAKES THIS ALBUM UNIQUE IS THE COVER ART, WHICH MIMICS THE AMERICAN RELEASE OF THIS ALBUM, WHILE THE RECORD ITSELF PLAYS THE ORIGINAL UK TRACK LISTING. THE COVER AND RECORD ARE VG.
THE COVER IS IN OVERALL GREAT SHAPE WITH A LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNT OF WEAR. PLEASE NOTE THAT ON THE BACK COVER THERE ARE MARKINGS IN BLUE PEN ON THE FACES OF THE FOUR BEATLES (SEE PICTURES.) WERE IT NOT FOR THESE MARKINGS, I WOULD GRADE THE COVER MUCH HIGHER.
THE RECORD HAS A LIGHT TO HEAVY AMOUNT OF SURFACE SCRATCHING AND SCUFFING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD. NONE OF THESE MARKS CAN BE FELT TO THE TOUCH. WERE IT NOT FOR THESE HEAVIER MARKS (MOSTLY ON SIDE 2) THE RECORD WOULD GRADE MUCH HIGHER. WHEN PLAY TESTING THIS RECORD, I DID NOTICE A LIGHT TO MODERATE AMOUNT OF SURFACE NOISE. THIS WAS MOSTLY HEARD DURING THE QUIETER SECTIONS OF THIS RECORD, BUT DID INCREASE DURING THE TRACK "IT'S ONLY LOVE." THE RECORD PLAYS THROUGH WITHOUT SKIPPING AND IS A VERY ENJOYABLE LISTEN!
DON'T MISS OUT ON YOUR CHANCE TO ADD THIS RARE PRESSING OF THIS CLASSIC ALBUM TO YOUR COLLECTION TODAY! IF YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL QUESTIONS ABOUT THIS ITEM, PLEASE FEEL FREE TO MESSAGE ME. HAPPY BIDDING!
FOR THOSE INTERESTED, I HAVE LISTED THE MATRIX NUMBERS TO BOTH SIDES OF THE RECORD BELOW:
SIDE 1: XEX 549-2 (THERE IS ALSO A "48" STAMPED INTO THE 5:00 POSITION OF THE DEAD WAX OF THIS SIDE OF THE RECORD.)
SIDE 2: XEX 550-2 (THERE IS ALSO A "1" ETCHED INTO THE 2:00 POSITION OF THE DEAD WAX OF THIS SIDE OF THE RECORD.)
A NOTE FROM THE SELLER:
Your satisfaction is my top priority. I always combine shipping and will gladly refund anything you are not completely satisfied with. I also play test ALL my records!! BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!
A NOTE TO INTERNATIONAL BIDDERS:
I CANNOT OFFER INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON THIS ITEM AT THIS TIME. I APOLOGIZE FOR ANY INCONVENIENCE THIS MAY CAUSE.
BELOW I HAVE POSTED THE GRADING SYSTEM I USE FOR ALL MY RECORDS:
SEALED: Sealed at factory and never opened. Vinyl is assumed to be mint, but cannot be sure until opening.
NM: When I grade something near mint, you know the only thing that isn't perfect about it is that someone actually opened it. There could be a light scuff mark or two from taking it out of the sleeve. The jacket will look like new.
VG++: These LPs appear not to have been played more than once or twice. You can expect to see scuffs or other insignificant surface marks very minor that will have no effect whatsoever on the sound of the recording. Jacket will show very slight, just beginning ring wear. Maybe a little wear in the corners.
VG+: Records in this condition have obviously been played a few times, though they have been well taken care of. You can expect to see a few light marks, but they should have a minimal effect, if any at all, on the sound of the recording. Jacket will very likely show noticeble ring and edge wear and maybe one or two other minor flaws. Anything more will be noted.
VG: These albums have been played quite a few times and although not abused you will see and hear signs of use. But, the music will dominate your listening experience and you shouldn't be overwhelmed by the various vinyl nuances, such as tics, pops, crackles and hisses. You should still be able to sit back and fully enjoy listening to an album in this condition.
Jacket will have a number of flaws, such as heavy ring and seam wear, writing, small seam splits, stickers, etc.
G: I try not to go here, but if it's a rare or exceptionally great piece of music that must be heard, then I'll offer it. But the noise will be very noticeable, and you'll want to find a better copy. Still, the record will be fully playable, and you should enjoy it because it's such wonderful music. Jackets in this condition will have large seam splits, large writing, paper tears, or water damage. But it will still be fully capable of protecting the album inside.
F: I'll never go here on both the vinyl and jacket. This would have to be a case where the vinyl was playable with a bad jacket OR a real special jacket with the record not of much use. You won't see this very often!
