Hello and welcome to this auction for a 'Beatles - Help! 12" 1965 RARE first press STEREO YELLOW & BLACK PARLOPHONE LP vinyl' in overall EXCELLENT- condition. 



VINYL:-
Visual:
Side 1 - quite a few hairlines and light marks but nothing deep or feelable. Rated as EXCELLENT-. Label has some pen marks on so rates as VG/VG+. Side 2 - same as Side 1 but with a few more feelable marks and scratches. Label is VG+.
Audio:
In my eyes, the audio is VERY GOOD+/EXCELLENT-! I have play tested it all the way through and can confirm that there are NO SKIPS, NO JUMPS and NO STICKS on my system! Crackle is present on the run-ins and in between tracks. There is some background crackle also present but this fantastic stereo mix is so punchy and loud that it masks it well! In places, however, it can be heard but I still think it's a great listen. A deep clean could get rid of that background crackle - unfortunately I do not have the facilities to do so. It's a well-played record that is holding up well! Original tonality is present and it is very punchy and crisp! Lies flat and plays very well.




The original stereo sleeve is 100% intact and houses the record very well. I rate it as EXCELLENT-. The front is nice and white with a few laminate creases, crease near the edges and light cornerwear. It also has slight ringwear but not too bad. The rear of the sleeve is very clean! These white non-laminated backs always used to get filthy and stained - this is clean and nice! 'Andy' has been written in pen near George and there is some light wear to the opening edge. Elsewhere, a few creases but overall, a nice original stereo flipback sleeve! Spine is EXCELLENT! 100% readable, very square and white! 
Overall, a decent copy of this rare classic.




Catalogue number - PCS 3071 Number of tracks - 14 Released - 1965 Matrix numbers - YEX 168-1  (mother stampers: 1 0(maybe a O))    YEX  169-1  (mother stampers: 3 G0(maybe an O))



As with all the vintage records I sell, I advise a deep clean to enhance the sound quality of the record. Overall, a great 1965 STEREO copy of Help! that is getting increasingly difficult to find!
Don't miss YOUR chance to own a classic 'The Beatles - Help!' RARE 1965 STEREO LP for a GREAT price!
