Description
The Beatles 'Help' original West Coast Picture Sleeve & 45rpm LA 1965 is a highly sought-after collectible vinyl record from 1965. This first edition single, released under Capitol Records, features the iconic British Invasion band in their prime. The record still retains its original glossy black vinyl finish, and is housed in an excellent original paper picture sleeve. A must-have for any fan of The Beatles or vinyl enthusiasts, this piece of music history captures the essence of the rock and rock 'n' roll genre in the United States during that era.
Original 1965 Help/I'm Down Picture Sleeve (much rarer West Coast Thumb Tab version) is in Ex+ condition. The sleeve is bright, colorful and has no holes or seam splits. It has one very tiny tear (1/4 inch) on the reverse opening area from previous removing the record from the sleeve. The vinyl is also a 1st Pressing West Los Angeles version that matches the rare sleeve. The vinyl record is in Ex+ condition. It retains it beautiful glossy luster as this sleeve and record are over 60 years old. The value of these Beatles Picture Sleeves keep rising in value.
RareBeatles.com lists the Picture Sleeve (West Coast Version) as valued at $200 (without the record) in Mint condition. The West Coast sleeves were for the most part printed in smaller quantities and typically sell for roughly 20%-25% more than comparable East Coast sleeves.
I will combine shipping charges for multiple purchases. First record will be $5.38 (actual cost) and each additional picture sleeve/record will only be $1.00 more for each additional record purchased. Just request an invoice from me before you pay. (Put them in your cart together and request invoice).
This is one of many from my personal collection. I am not a record selling business and have decided to thin my vast collection.
All records have been separated from the paper picture sleeves, and now stored in clear plastic protective sleeves to protect their future handling.
The Beatles – Help!
