The Beatles - Help! (Capitol SMAS 2386, August 13, 1965) This is a West Coast pressing of Help! created as Capitol Records continued to try (and fail) to get the label credits correct. In this RARE variation, they finally got Ken Thorne's name added to the last song of each side, but failed to list "You Can't Do That" as part of the "The Bitter End" instrumental (side 2, track 4). Also, this is the only pressing that features the song "Help" listed ABOVE the spindle hole.

Cover: Ex (really, it's almost perfect, super glossy, I think the photos adequately illustrate my point. Dust Sleeve: accurate Capitol sleeve with splits and tears...  Labels: Ex - no spindle marks, looks brand new Disc: VG+ (probably Ex, but I'm trying to handle it as little as possible, so I didn't play-test, so I'm saying VG+ just to be safe) Looks great!
Clearly I have a stake in this, but as a Beatles fan and collector and someone who values being a respected Ebay seller, I don't hesitate to say that if you need this copy for your collection, you've found it.  It's unlikely you'll find a nicer copy. If you have questions, don't hesitate to send them and I will do my very best to answer them and add additional photos if needed.

GENERAL: We offer combined shipping on multiple wins/purchases but ONLY if you wait for us to issue an adjusted invoice before making payment. Buyer pays actual shipping rounded up to 50cents. Payments by PAYPAL. We list the more valuable items so that they end first. This way you can add lesser-valued filler items with little to no extra shipping. We will be listing hundreds of mint and excellent condition Beatles items (as well as other artists) over the next several months.  Our opening bids are always under market value and often the lowest on Ebay. Favorite us as a seller and check back every Sunday afternoon for new listings.

FEEDBACK:  Your satisfaction as a buyer means a lot to us and everything we sell is guaranteed, but PLEASE, if you have any questions that could avoid a future misunderstanding, ask it in advance of bidding. Your purchases will be professionally packed for shipping. It’s very soul-crushing to hold on to a mint condition record for 40+ years only to have the post office destroy its value in one careless instant.  That’s why we pack really, really well. After we’ve concluded business I promise to leave positive feedback and ask that you (assuming you’re happy with service and product) do too.

INTERNATIONAL BUYERS: We stopped using the Ebay Global Shipping Program because it’s so expensive (to the buyer).  If you live outside the United States and win one or more items, please be patient while we determine and agree on the exact shipping method and costs to your particular corner of the world. For international shipping, we will provide proof of shipping, but if your country’s postal system loses or destroys the item, we are going to consider that out of our hands.
