Description
Artist: The Beatles
Title: Help!
Label: Parlophone
Cat: PMC 1255
Year: 1965 Second Press
Vinyl Condition: VG+
Sleeve Condition: VG+
Label Condition: VG+
Notes/Description: This is a very rare (possibly unique) variant as it has not been registered on the reference sites. It has second issue labels but the tax code MT (which finished in 1963). There are some rare examples of this registered on first presses but none on this second one. The vinyl still has a sheen with a few cosmetic surface lines and plays great except for an inexplicably quite crackly start to Side B. The sleeve has some light wear only. It comes with the original Emitex poly-lines inner sleeve in EX condition. Matrix:
