My clearout continues!

I'm now clearing our a batch of classic rock, prog and 60's LPs that I bought in a collection a few years back, a pretty complete collection but I don't really need all the titles. Watch this space for more titles.......

you're bidding for:

Beatles - Help! UK Mono1st press LP NM/EX+ Gramophone Co Ltd text

cat: PMC 1255

matrix: XEX 549-2 XEX 550-2

mothers/stampers: 4 GH 2 GH

The vinyl is a stunning NM, black glossy and shiny , only the faintest of faint paper hairlines visible, mainly in the run out areas when held under a bright light. Both labels are EX+ with very light spindle wear, the Gramo text and KT tax code are both visible (see pics) and even though there is a small blemish on the side 2 label they're in great shape.
The Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve on this copy is also stunning but grades just below NM at a very strong EX+. The spine is unbelievably square with the clearest sharpest text I've ever seen, when laid flat the corners do turn up ever so slightly but the corners are sharp with only very minimal rubs.
The flipbacks are all intact with only faint ringwear to the front when held to the light. The unlaminated rear is really clean with no real blemishes and there's no sign of any writing anywhere on the sleeve, inner or labels.The orig Emitex inner is clean and flat and grades as EX..

Any questions, please ask.

Smoke free, pet free house. Good luck bidding!
