HEY I FOUND ANOTHER!! The BEATLES official 1987 USA Capitol/EMI FIRST release of their FIFTH (UK) LP album: HELP, from Summer 1965, all 14 songs, now in STEREO. This one is produced by George Martin. Fantastic!! As always!! The 33rpm vinyl equivalent to the concurrently released US CDs of the Beatles UK albums, trying to get the whole world in sync with the Beatles UK album catalog!! Another of the worlds most iconic covers on a record album! The FAB FOUR in ski gear from the Alps filming portion of their 2nd movie. A marvelous cover! It is presumed Goldmine Mint as it is STILL SEALED, since purchase in 1987. Unplayed. Presumed near perfect!! (See photo 3 for sample image of alternate 1987 Beatles Capitol Rainbow label. By 1988 they were back to Purple!). The UK albums were all remastered for 1987 reissue. And of course remastered again in 1995 and 2012, I think. Classic hits here are: TICKET TO RIDE, HELP, ACT NATURALLY, DIZZY MISS LIZZIE and YESTERDAY. Of course every song is a classic, even today, over 55 years later. My personal favorite: IT’S ONLY LOVE. The Beatles aimed at getting the LP to market following the huge success of Ticket To Ride reaching Number One early in the year, and all the expected mania they assumed the movie would cause combined with their ‘65 Summer Tour of the US. And that summer continued the Beatles craziness!! This album hit the UK market in July ‘65 and was soon Number One, and Beatlemania continued thru their Shea Stadium, Hollywood Bowl, and Ed Sullivan Show appearances. By the end of the year they had conquered the world!! And 12 songs were originals by Lennon-McCartney or Harrison. Just 2 cover songs! Quite an accomplishment. They all still sound so fresh, with Incredible energy from the Boys as they attack your ears with superb melodies and harmonies! This is a beautiful record, quite wonderful sounding!! The cover sleeve is well kept, in plastic wrap and cover since its purchase in 1987, by me. I quickly learned to handle them as little as possible, especially one of these “new” reissues which I thought would become rarer and greatly treasured!! Read more on “45cat”, my favorite worldwide discography site. Trying to price it is guesswork. Very few are up for sale from 1987!! But I guess the market will tell me what these are worth! This one is quite nice! You decide!! See images, actual sale item (except photo 3 for label reference). Seller is 50+ year collector and keeper of all things Beatles related. Shipped with USPS Media Mail and Global Shipping Program. All purchases ship together for $5 total. So browse for others. Price reduces weekly till sold!! Best to all! Beatle Lew.
