Description

On offer here is a SERIOUSLY rare LP (especially in this condition!!!!) by The Beatles called "Help!" and is an ORIGINAL 1965 UK MONO 1st Pressing on the 1st Press Yellow & Black Parlophone label!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND!!!!  BUT WHAT MAKES THIS LP REALLY SPECIAL IS THAT IT IS IN ABSOLUTELY AMAZING CONDITION - AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE LIKE THIS!!!!  THE RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL AND IS IN AMAZING CONDITION, THE INNER SLEEVE IS SIMPLY INCREDIBLE, AND THE COVER IS SIMPLY AWESOME AND FOR ONCE IS PURE WHITE!!!!  AND THIS IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE ON THIS LP!!!!   WHEN THIS LP WAS FIRST RELEASED IN 1965 - EVERY SINGLE COVER WAS 1ST PRESSED IN A PURE BRILLIANT WHITE COLOUR.  HOWEVER OVER THE YEARS VIRTUALLY EVERY 1ST PRESSING HAS YELLOWED (AND OFTEN BROWNED!) TO LOOK A SHADOW OF THEIR FORMER GLORY.  BUT NOT THIS ONE!!!!   JUST TAKE A LOOK AT THE PICTURES!!!!  BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK OF THIS COVER IS EXACTLY THE SAME PURE BRILLIANT WHITE COLOUR IT WAS FIRST PRESSED WITH BACK IN 1965!!!!  AND THIS OF COURSE DISPELLS THE LAUGHABLE MYTH (THAT SOME SEEK TO PORTRAY) THAT THIS LP WAS ORIGINALLY PRESSED IN A 'CREAM' COLOUR (MOST PEOPLE WILL OF COURSE KNOW THAT THIS IS COMPLETELY UNTRUE ALREADY).  IF A 1ST PRESSING OF HELP! IS 'CREAM' IN COLOUR - IT MEANS IT HAS LOST ITS ORIGINAL COLOUR AND HAS YELLOWED SLIGHTLY.  AND THIS IS WHAT MAKES THIS AMAZING 1ST PRESSING SO INCREDIBLY RARE - BECAUSE EVERY PART IS A PURE BRILLIANT WHITE - AND BELIEVE ME THIS LP IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  

BUT NOT ONLY THAT BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE 'EARLIEST' 1ST PRESSINGS EVER MADE!!!!  NOT ONLY DOES THIS LP HAVE 1ST PRESS 2/2 MATRIX ENDINGS, BUT IT HAS AMAZINGLY LOW 1/O & 2/M MOTHER & STAMPER CODINGS!!!!  AND THIS CLEARLY SHOWS THAT THIS LP WAS ONE OF THE FIRST 1500 COPIES EVER PRESSED AND NATURALLY WOULD HAVE BEEN PRESSED ON THE VERY FIRST DAY OF PRESSING EVER - WAY WAY BEFORE THE RELEASE DATE!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS!!!!  THIS IS THE ORIGINAL 1965 UK MONO 1ST PRESSING ON THE 1ST PRESS YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LABEL, 1ST PRESS 'SOLD IN THE UK' TEXT, 1ST PRESS 'GRAMOPHONE COMPANY' EDGE TEXT, 1ST PRESS 'OUTLINE' MONO ON THE COVER FRONT, A 1ST PRESS 'GARROD & LOFTHOUSE' FLIPBACK LAMINATED COVER, 1ST PRESS 'KT' TAX CODE, AND A 1ST PRESS EMITEX INNER SLEEVE!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND LIKE THIS - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS AMAZING OPPORTUNITY!!!! This is the original Yellow & Black Parlophone UK MONO 1st pressing from 1965 and is in AMAZING condition!!!!  The record is pressed on THICK quality vinyl.

The record labels are in AWESOME condition (see pictures) with NO writing, NO wear and barely ANY spindle marks AT ALL!!!!  IT IS VERY CLEAR THAT THIS RECORD HAS BARELY BEEN PLAYED AT ALL!!!!  The vinyl is in AMAZING condition!!!!  Most of these 60s LPs had been to a lot of wild parties and are usually found totally worn out, and almost unplayable. This one is NOT and has NO scratches, NO hairlines, NO scufflines, and only a VERY few of the VERY lightest paper scuffs only visible under EXTREME light!!!!  ITS AS SIMPLE AS THAT!!!!  THE RECORD STILL RETAINS ITS ORIGINAL 'JUST PRESSED' LOOK AND LOOKS AMAZING!!!!  It is great to find that the record plays as STUNNINGLY as the visual with NO pops, NO sticking, NO jumps, and barely ANY crackle AT ALL!!!!  The sound quality is simply AWESOME with NO groovewear and NO distortion either!!!! The record must grade MINT(Minus)!!!!  AWESOME RECORD!!!!  Believe me this record is NOT overgraded in ANY way!!!! I use STRICT RC grading standards - it is not in my interest not to!!!! Brillant!!!!  The record also comes in its ORIGINAL 1st Press Emitex inner sleeve which is in AWESOME condition!!!!  The 1st Press 'Garrod & Lofthouse' Flipback Laminated Cover is in AWESOME condition!!!!  It has NO edge wear, NO spinal wear, barely ANY corner wear AT ALL, barely ANY creases AT ALL (cover is VERY flat looking indeed!), AWESOME shiny UNGLAZED laminate, ABSOLUTELY NO YELLOWING AT ALL, and NO writing!!!!  The opening edge is beautifully straight with NO feathering!!!! Even the unlaminated back is in AWESOME condition with NO wear, NO grubbyness, NO writing, NO rubbing, and absolutely NO yellowing AT ALL!!!!  IT IS SIMPLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND A PURE WHITE 1ST PRESS COVER LIKE THIS ONE!!!!  The cover must grade Excellent++++ if not MINT(Minus)!!!!  WHAT AN AWESOME COVER!!!!  THIS LP IS SERIOUSLY RARE AND VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND IN THIS AMAZING CONDITION - SO DONT MISS OUT ON THIS INCREDIBLE OPPORTUNITY!!!!
