BEATLES
"HELP" RELEASED 1965 PARLOPHONE PCS 3071 STEREO PRESSING 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD' RIM TEXT 'SOLD IN THE UK' LABEL TEXT
SLIGHTLY RARER STEREO FIRST PRESSING FROM 1965
STAMPERS 2 P 3 GP MATRICES -1 -1 KT TAX CODE EMBOSSED ON SIDE 2 CENTRE
GARROD AND LOFTHOUSE PATENTS PENDING FRONT LAMINATED SLEEVE IS IN CLEAN CONDITION FOR ITS AGE SOME SMALL CREASES DOWN THE SEAM EDGE BUT THE OPENING EDGE IS CLEAN AND DEFINED THERE ARE SOME LIGHT MARKS ON THE FRONT FACE OF THE SLEEVE BUT THEY DON'T IMPACT ON THE TEXT OR THE IMAGES
SLEEVE REAR INNER PANEL IS AGAIN IN NICE CONDITION SOME LIGHT AGE FADING TO THE OPENING EDGE AND A COUPLE OF AGE RELATED SPOTS TOWARDS THE CENTRE SEAM
ALL THREE LAMINATED FOLDOVER SEAMS ARE UNDAMAGED AND ALL TEXT IS LEGIBLE
EMITEX INNER IS PRESENT BUT AGAIN DOES HAVE SOME AGE FADING TO THE WHITE AREAS AND SOME CREASING TO THE CORNERS
VINYL RECORD HAS A GLOSSY SHEEN TO THE SURFACES BUT THERE ARE SOME HANDLING/NEEDLE MARKS TO BOTH SIDES ,LOOKING AT THE LABELS IN PARTICULAR THE CENTRE HOLE SHOWS JUST LIMITED WEAR AND SPINDLE MARKS AND THE LABELS ARE BRIGHT AND CLEAN SO I CAN ONLY ASSUME THE RECORD ITSELF HASN'T BEEN HANDLED AS WELL AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN OVER THE YEARS ,BUT THE AUDIO WAS GREAT TO LISTEN TOO WITH THE ODD POP AND CRACKLE IN THE QUIET MOMENTS
THE LABEL TEXT IS THE SANS SERIF TYPE
STEREO RECORDS WERE STILL A RARE ITEM AT THIS TIME ( 1965 ) AS PRODUCTION NUMBERS WERN'T AS HIGH AS MONO COPIES
