THE BEATLES - 'HELP!'


This NEAR MINT UK STEREO pressing dates from 1969 and is on the 1-EMI-box Parlophone label: PCS 3058

Both labels have 'Made In Gt. Britain' printed on them & 'The Gramophone Co. Ltd..' worded rims.


Matrix numbers: YEX 168-1 & YEX 169-1 (the same as the 1964 1st pressing)

Stamper codes: 3/HO & 3/LR

Vinyl weight: 136g


Housed within a scarce front laminated 'Garrod & Lofthouse' printed cover with TWO rear flipbacks & 'Patents Pending' printed in the lower right corner.

The cover also retains its original store shrinkwrapping and 'HMV Shop' price code sticker.

The original red & white EMI advertising inner-sleeve is also present.


CONDITION

Disc

Labels: MINT

A perfect pair with no marks or wear to or around either centre hole.

Visual: NEAR MINT

Pristine deep-gloss playing surfaces which are unmarked and 'as new' in strong daylight. Even careful inspection beneath my powerful halogen desk lamp failed to reveal anything more than a few harmless wispy paper hairlines. Both sides of this superb disc lie 100% flat on the turntable when playing.

Sound Quality: MINT

Flawless high-quality 'tube-cut' stereo sound throughout which is equal to the 1st pressing.

Cover: EXCELLENT +

The original shrinkwrapping has protected the cover from the ravages of time and apart from a little inievitable shelfwear to the corner's extremities, there is little to fault.

Inner-sleeve: EXCELLENT +

Slight age-toning to the paper but no writing, tears or seams splits.
