The Beatles Help! Capitol MAS-2386, Mono. Early 1st pressing labels without composer credits for "The Bitter End," and "The Chase," side 2 tracks 4 and 6; and before the addition of the song, "You Can't Do That." Asterisk in runout vinyl indicating it was pressed in Los Angeles, but it has East Coast labels indicated by the sans-serif numbers 1 and 2. A very rare hybrid example. VG+/VG+ condition. A few very light scuffs and scratches to vinyl. Cover is clean and unmarked, with minimal edge-wear except at the corners which are lightly bumped and rubbed. A short stable split in the paper, top edge near hinge. The gate-fold hinge is sound and little used; and the spine is intact, although the title is a little off-center. The original olive green paper inner sleeve is in VG+ condition, clean and crisp but with a split of an inch or so, bottom edge. Condition is Used. Shipped with USPS Media Mail.
