HELP!

CAPITOL MAS-2386

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HELP! was released August 13,1965 and sold over 3 million. This is the original FIRST PRESSING MONO EAST COAST version. It is an initial pressing having no writer's credits for the non-Lennon-McCartney instrumentals. It has the empty line after The Bitter End and before the next track. The space was left so that the typesetter could add the writer's credit to later copies of the label without adjusting the placement of the other song titles. It also does not list You Can't Do That on side two. It is the East Coast label with the one on side one as "I." It is a Scranton pressing and has the International Assoc. of Machinists triangle stamped in the trail-off. The identification numbers are stamped and not etched by hand.
