Beatles - Help! UK Mono 1st press vinyl LP VG+/VG+
cat: PMC 1255 matrix: XEX 549-2 XEX 550-2
stampers:
The vinyl grades as VG+, visually it has plenty of original gloss and sheen but has quite a faint hairline withdrawal marks and light scuffs, only really visible when held to the light. Nothing is heavy or significant and it plays really well with no significant issues, just very faint crackle on the run ins. The front laminated sleeve is also in great condition, stored in a plastic sleeve for lots of it's life, it's still nice and white, with no stickers or writing. The spine is wonderful and clear and crisp, corners are pretty sharp, however there is a slight crease to the top left corner (see pics). The front has only light signs of wear and unlaminated rear is still nice and white with only very light discolouration, all flipbacks are intact but there is a small notch, or ding on the open edge besides the tracklist (Ticket to Ride - see pics). Overall it's a great sleeve but can only grade as VG+ due to the two small issues. Written inside the sleeve itself is the original purchase date in 1965.
Both labels are EX+ with very light spindle wear and no writing or sticker. KT tax code on side 2.
