HELP! - The Beatles - 1965 UK - First Press
Matrix Side 1) YEX 168-1 MD 2 Side 2) YEX 169-1 M 3
Vinyl Play Back: NM- Exceptional from start to finish.
Cover: NM- The photos truly speak for themselves. Other than a tiny hardly worth noting push at one corner and what is likely fold-over glue under the laminate at the upper rear corner, I cannot find a blemish of concern on this jacket.

Vinyl Visual: VG+ ~ EX- The record maintains its glossy sheen. Some superficial scuffs and lines are seen having no audible impact.
Labels: EX The proper K-T tax code is seen on S1. A couple of soft spindle marks on each side.
Original Inner: EX Some uniform aging is seen. 

INV: 91
Additional photos are available upon request. Returns are accepted up to 10 days after delivery. Thank you for looking!
Grading endeavors to be conservative. (Please see below for grading scale)
All open vinyl is shipped in a new poly-inner, and the album cover in a poly-sleeve.
Vinyl is cleaned on a VPI 16.5 machine and test played 'start-to-finish' prior to listing, unless otherwise noted.
'Vinyl Playback' will always address egregious audible concerns.   If you encounter any issues with your purchase, please contact me prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback.
My goal is your 100% complete satisfaction.

Vinyl Play Grades
M: Still sealed
M-: An opened item that appears 'M'. Virtually perfect playback.
NM: A few minor visual imperfections with virtually no audible impact. Top quality play.
EX: A few more surface marks than NM with very few audible imperfections. Quality play.
VG+: Surface scuffs and lines. Some light surface noise or a few tics or pops. Enjoyable play.
VG: Defined scuffs, lines, and scratches. More surface noise, tics, and pops than VG+. Acceptible play.
G: Heavy wear, deep scratches, with egregious surface noise, clicks, and pops. Poor play.
Hybrid Example:    Vinyl which is VG in appearance but plays NM. = Visual Grade: VG  Playback Grade: NM
The reverse may also occur.  = Visual Grade: NM  Playgrade: VG
Album covers are graded on a case by case basis given the myriad of issues which may impact each.
All grading is completely subjective and provided to the best of my ability.
