THE BEATLES HELP!
FACTORY SAMPLE. NOT FOR SALE
First pressings (1965) - Mono version.                                              The standard yellow black Parlophone label. The "All rights of the manufacturer" message around the edge of the label now starts with "The Gramophone Co. Ltd." The label DOES have "Sold in the U.K..." statement. The "MONO"  text on the cover is outlined block type.

THE LABELS

There are no stains or writing on the labels

but visible spindle trails.

The silver typeface is perfectly legible and without damage or rubbing.


THE VINYL

The vinyl visually has hairlines so if you want a visually

excellent copy this will not be for you.


HOWEVER if you want a great sounding copy with

barely, if any background, this is the one. 

No pops no tics no clicks no repeats no jumps

and only the odd bit of low level crackle, usually between tracks


 TEST PLAY

The record plays through as easily EX.


    Matrix.                                                       XEX 549-2 & XEX 550-2
