Description
Hello there, come on in and welcome to the auction!
As you can see from my 100% feedback, I sell with complete honesty and reliability. Above all things I am a record collector and music lover. I only sell records that I would want to receive. I know well the disappointment of receiving an over-graded record that turns up two weeks late. That is not the service you will receive here, so bid with total confidence. I don’t sell a lot of records because I spend a lot of time carefully finding, grading and listing them and do not like to rush this process, as many sellers must do to be able to sell 100 records a week!
I am mostly a collector of old time music, pre-war blues and folk, so buy job-lots that often contain rare records that aren’t to my taste so to ebay they go!
(On that note, if you have any early American blues or folk to swap or sell, please get in touch!)
Anyway, enough of the chit chat and on to the record at hand….

Stampers.

Sleeve Condition.
The 1st print laminated flip back G&L Stereo outer sleeve is in really great condition! There are no rips or damage to mention! The wording on the wide spine is perfectly readable and is lovely and straight. All the edges are straight and crisp. The colours are as vibrant as they were on the day of release. There is some light storage wear to the corners as is usual. It’s a really really nice example that won’t disappoint!
Excellent
Inner Condition.
The 1st press emitax inner is in great condition with just some mild folding to mention! No rips, tears, seam splits or writing! Superb!
Excellent
Label Condition.
The 1st press Parlophone labels are in fantastic condition. There are no rips, writing or stains to mention. Under a strong light only a really minor, almost invisible spindles can be seen, but they are very minimal compared to a usual Beatles 1st press! It’s clear that this record has not seen much play
Nr Mint
Vinyl Visual Condition.
The record looks great! It still retains its wonderful shine and lustre after all these years. There are scratches, warping or dulling at all. Under a strong light, only light hairlines can be seen, but nothing that effects playback too much at all! A really nice clean copy!
Excellent
Vinyl Audio Condition.
The record still sounds superb! It’s a nice punchy and clear audio throughout! There was the occasional static as is to be expected, but it still sounded really nice with no jumping, skipping or sticking. I heard no loud clicks throughout it’s a really nice listening 1st press experience. This is how the Beatles should be heard, in their original format! A cracking little record!
Excellent
So there we have it. One of the rarest and earliest 1st Presses of Help that you are likely to see and with all the criteria of a true 1965 1st press!
A Lovely Beatles Rarity!!
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch and I will get back to you as soon as I can.
Happy Bidding
All my records will be sent first class, signed for and insured to their value!
I will package the records with extreme care, with hard stiffeners and the vinyl separate to the sleeve and inner, all housed in a Defenda locktab record box envelope.
I try to be as honest as I can in my descriptions, taking as many pictures as possible, but if you don’t feel happy with your purchase, I offer no quibble full refunds as soon as the record is sent back. I will not give partial refunds however, only full. I think this is fair, Thanks!
