The Beatles - Help!
This exceptional copy of the Beatles' second film soundtrack album is a UK 1st pressing STEREO album on the yellow and black Parlophone label.
This particular copy has an extremely rare label error in which the tax code on side 2 is stamped MT rather than KT. The MT tax code was phased out in 1963 so this is undoubtedly . 
The vinyl is housed within the original front side laminated Garrod & Lofthouse flip-back sleeve with mid-sized, outline 'STEREO' text to the front side.  
The album is complete with the original polythene lined die-cut Emitex 'protect your records' inner sleeve.

Vinyl: EXCELLENT
Labels: MINT -
The labels are bright, clean and without writing. Only very light spindle marks can be seen on either side.
Visual: EXCELLENT
Immaculate 'factory-fresh' deep-gloss playing surfaces which show only subtle paper scuffs in strong daylight. A really strong example. 

Sound Quality: EXCELLENT

The audio is fantastic. This copy has clearly been played cautiously on good quality equipment. There is no sign of groove/play wear. There are quiet lead-ins to both sides and minimal static in between tracks. There is great channel separation, clear vocals and punchy bass. You will struggle to find a better listening experience.

Sleeve: EXCELLENT +
The sleeve looks great. The front retains a glossy finish with bright colours. The rear is very clean. There is no ring wear, fully readable spine without wear, top and bottom edge without wear, and corners with very mild wear. 
Inner Sleeve: EXCELLENT
The original polythene lined die-cut inner sleeve looks great. It is very clean, has minimal discolouration and shows only minor creasing.  The vinyl is housed within audiophile quality, anti-static inner sleeve to help protect and preserve the fantastic record. 

This record will be sent via an insured courier in a padded vinyl mailer.
