YOUR SATISFACTION IS OUR FIRST PRIORITY!


From Capitol Records (SMAS 2386) this is  HELP! by The BEATLES, an original (first ) stereo pressing from August 13, 1965; playing time, 28:43.  

Jacket is NEAR MINT MINUS or better showing no outstanding flaws or blemishes; no signs of excessive aging or abuse. Original inner sleeve is solid NEAR MINT. 

The labels and playing surfaces are breathtaking! There are no spindle marks and the glossy wax shows no marks of any kind: strong NEAR MINT! Probably unplayed! This is the first label variation showing no composer credits for The Bitter End  and matrix showing the triangle with "IAM" in center indicating the Scranton pressing plant.  

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better example under $100!

When you buy from a small Mom & Pop business you are not helping a CEO buy a third vacation home, a second yacht or a four hundred million dollar golden parachute.  Instead, you’re helping a little girl get dance lessons, a little boy get his team jersey, a Mom put food on the table, a Dad pay a mortgage, or a student pay for college. Our customers are our shareholders; they are the ones we strive to make happy. Thank you so much for supporting small businesses.
