Beatles LP "HELP"  Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Capitol Rainbow Label # MAS-2386 RARE MONO 1965 PRESSING 
Some EARLY PRESSING Labels like this one, do credit KEN THORNE  as the  writer of the last track on each side and lists "YOU CAN'T DO THAT"  as part  of Track #4 on Side 2.  CAPITOL RAINBOW LABEL .  
These MONO pressings were made in far fewer quantities than STEREOs   making them much rarer and more valuable as a collectible. These just don't show up as often in the collector's market.
VINYL rates as EX+ with quite shiny play surfaces on both sides. Not  perfect (as we'd never claim anything is) but as for it's condition, if and where  any  surface  marks are present, they are  visible in certain light.  That's   how  minor they are. Very clean! Plays GREAT!  The  JACKET is a  GATE  FOLD  style and is quite clean as well.  Very solid!
Comes with the 1965 Olive Green Inner Sleeve  which was prepared  by  CAPITOL  for FIRST PRESSINGS of LPs "BEATLES VI", "HELP",  and  "RUBBER SOUL".

Please watch for SPECIAL SALES, or where it applies, please make your "BEST OFFER".  Thanks for watching. INSURANCE:  We do not typically provide insurance to any item due to the fact that this can amount to significant  added cost. However, this added service is available to any buyer requesting it prior to invoicing. If items are not  insured and are received damaged, immediately make the shipper aware of the damage. Once the item is packaged,  inspected by, and leaves the seller, one can only hope that it is handled with care which is why insurance is always  a good idea (if affordable and available in your country). Grading "VINYL" records can at times be a bit difficult and is not an exact science since it is based upon someone's  opinion. Since opinions can differ, we want all buyers to know that whenever a purchase is made and the item is  received, if you feel that our listed grading (by seasoned professionals) differs from what you feel it should be,  ALWAYS contact us FIRST before filing a claim with Ebay. All items are inspected prior to packaging to insure that  our description is accurate. However, we're not perfect and once in a while, items with hard to detect defects, can slip  through the cracks, therefore friendly dialogue between buyer and seller is always the best remedy to seeking any  satisfactory solution. We will always make an attempt to achieve 100% customer satisfaction whenever possible.  Remember that if you are not happy, we have not done our job! Thank you for visiting our site!
It is important to point out that when sellers on ebay set a price for any item,  many factors are considered, one of which is the fact that the SELLER FEE  can be up to 10% of the Sell Price.  So, when you think that the price listed  might be higher than anticipated, please keep this added cost in mind.  Thank you for watching!
All items are PROFESSIONALLY PACKAGED! "LIMITED" RETURN POLICY ......  Actually when you look through many current auctions on EBAY you'll find we're not the only sellers who refuse RETURNS      unconditionally. It should be noted that under the category of "RETURNS", many sellers state: "THE SELLER DOES NOT OFFER RETURNS. HOWEVER YOU ARE       COVERED BY EBAY's MONEY BACK GUARANTEE IF YOU RECEIVE AN ITEM THAT'S NOT AS DESCRIBED". Our LIMITED RETURN POLICY refers to any item "AS          DESCRIBED". To define "AS DESCRIBED", we follow the rules of this site with actual limited verbiage within an auction with respect to  WHAT THE ITEM IS, WHO         THE ARTIST IS, etc. With respect to a term like AUTHENTICITY, that can only be determined by viewing detailed photos and posting accurate descriptions along  with accepted industry characteristics. This seller never consciously engages in the selling of items which are not authentic (unless specified otherwise). If a  potential buyer has questions, they may seek additional photos or more details, some of which can be provided by viewing and comparing to a known example  or referring to an accepted industry publication. As for condition of an item, for example in the case of a vinyl record we always do our best to describe it's play surface and post detailed photos to the best of our ability as amateur photographers. (Describing the condition of a vinyl record is not an exact science and is based on someone's visual examination and opinion of the examiner. Industry standards are followed by all of our examiners). Labels are best described by  posting detailed photos that illustrate defects if and where they exist. As for outer jackets or picture sleeves, we'll attempt to inform buyers about any possible  bends, folds, seam splits, writing, tears etc. Photos posted are the best descriptive evidence. With respect to items sold such as either a ONE-OF-A-KIND, RARE  COLLECTIBLE, ARTIFACT or MUSEUM PIECE, they're sold AS IS with limited consideration given to condition since they are unique pieces. They don't fall under  standard return guidelines unless there are damages discovered on arrival.  As stated in some of our previous auctions, we insist that prospective buyers ask questions or request more photos PRIOR TO PURCHASE if they are uncertain in MAKING ANY OFFERS.  We also want buyers to fully understand precisely what it is they are buying. In the specific case of Vinyl Records, where we would normally provide a detailed description with pictorial images, examination and  inspection upon its arrival should never take a buyer any more than 2 days to determine that the item received is the item purchased, and that it's condition  is as describedTherefore in that 2 day window after the item is received, the buyer is required to contact the seller to report any deficiencies. If a prospective  buyer is not 100% certain of what they are viewing on any auction they would be well advised to pass on purchasing. We don't want anyone to buy an item, pay for it, then receive it, only for us to be required to wait 2 full weeks before it might be determined by the buyer that he or she suddenly and unexpectedly has  an issue. Blind siding sellers in this manner, will only stoke the possibility for certain dispute and argument regarding whether a potential return and/or refund  is justifiedThat places the seller in an awkward financial position as well and one that we would  prefer to avoid. It's been our experience in over 50 years of  collecting and selling, that there have been buyers, who we like to refer to as a "Knit Pickers", not to mention some of whom have been discovered to have  actually damaged the item purchased while in their possession (either accidentally or intentionally) and then tell us that "it was received that way". Therefore  it has become our policy that all items are always "PHOTOGRAPHED & INSPECTED" prior to packaging as a protective measure in an effort to avoid any any potential disputes.       (This is what we feel is a FAIR POLICY. If any potential buyer feels we've either omitted or not explained something properly,       or that we are being unfair in some way, please let us know how we can improve. Suggestions are always welcome. ... 6/17). Thanks for watching!

ATTENTION ALL PROSPECTIVE BUYERS!  Thank you for visiting our site. We want to remind everyone  that if you currently don't happen to see what you're looking for here on our site, it doesn't mean that we don't have it in stock or can't get it for you. We simply cannot list everything that we have all at once.  However, our current inventory includes THOUSANDS of VINYL Albums, PROMOS & 45s, CDs, DVDs,  EPs, 78s, Cassette Tapes, VHS Movies, Metal Stampers and much more in the category  that we would call "COLLECTIBLES". 
Unfortunately, it would have been impossible to list everything, so if you are looking for something in  particular and don't happen to see it here today, simply send us a written REQUEST  and we will be happy to list it for you. 
Thank you for watching and we look forward  to hearing from you anytime! All vinyl records are sold on the basis of their collectibility, rarity, scarcity, with special consideration in some cases given  specifically to whom the artist happens to be. Also factored in is the physical and visual examination of play surfaces, labels,  outer jacket and the inner sleeve (where applicable)  and in most cases when there is obvious issues to the naked eye which  would most certainly affect play. This would be a part of the item's description (however unless a record is of extreme rarity  and does have value regardless of it's condition), we try to avoid ever selling severely damaged records. We point out that  "THE BEATLES" are in a category of their own and in cases with many of their extremely rare items, we've sold some of  their records even when they did have surface issues, however their value in any condition made these specific items  retain certain value and collectability and a buyer would be made aware of it before we would ever sell it. We don't play  test every vinyl since we have tens of thousands of vinyl records in stock, making it impossible to play each of them.  Please remember this when buying and always ask questions prior to finalizing any purchase.
