Original promotional “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack Help!” set featuring a promotional factory sealed copy of the album released on August 13, 1965 and an original 1965 promotional United Artists Pressbook prepared for movie theaters. Promotional DJ Radio Station pre-release copy of the “Help!” album still remains in the factory sealed condition. This promotional issue has a cover with the “PROMO” punch containing the pointed middle of the “M”. The covers with this promo punch configuration were sent to the pressing plant in Los Angeles. In its turn, the Scranton, PA pressing plant was assigned the covers where the middle of the “M" was flat. The world premiere of the film occurred earlier than the LP album release. The film was distributed by United Artists who prepared a special pressbook for the promotion of the film sending it to movie theaters nationwide. Original large format 13¼” X 18” 16-page United Artists Pressbook presents the information about the film’s vast merchandise, publicity as well as exploitation campaign materials, including the Capitol Records LP album, synopsis and the cast / production staff credits.

 The album is in stunning Mint Minus condition with the fully intact shrink wrap. Aside from a light and barely noticeable ding to the bottom right corner it's a truly great copy and is practically impossible to find in this condition. The original promotional United Artists Pressbook is in great vintage condition.
