TITLE

The Beatles Help! stereo early 2nd press (variation A?) KT tax code “Sold in…” YEX VG+/VG+

Description

Stereo (open font) copy on original parlophone black-yellow-silver labels.  For a record that’s nearly 60 years old this is in super condition and would be more than acceptable in any Beatles collection.  KT tax code.

Cover / Spine / Inners

Has been kept in a PVC cover for most of its life so is VG+.  The bright, glossy front cover has just a little creasing, some barely noticeable age-related marks and a hint of ring-wear.  The matt back cover has just a handful of age-related marks.

There are no splits, tears, biro, residues, etc.

Printed & made by Garrod & Lofthouse.

The spine is superb with clearly legible text.

It is in its original ‘emitex’ paper / poly inner sleeve.

Vinyl

The ‘heavyweight’ VG+ vinyl has been cleaned.  It’s obviously had an easy life as it looks great.

Label / Spindle marks

The period parlophone black-yellow-silver labels look good with the slightest hints of foxing from long-term storage.  There are spindle marks when angled to the light.

“SOLD IN U.K. … “ text.

Track 4 side 1 credited as “I NEED YOU *”.

Side 2 has an embossed “ K T “ tax code either side of the centre hole.

General Statement (exceptions will be clearly noted).

This record is from the collection of a great music fan.  Many items were bought new and have been played and enjoyed over 40 or 50 years or so, though carefully selected second-hand items with less provenance have been added over the years.

The collector is fastidious and the sleeves have been kept in pvc covers.  The vinyl has been cleaned each time it was played and the quality styluses regularly changed.

He principally curated a collection of 60s / 70s / 80s LPs and 45s across the genres of rock, psychedelia and folk, but his love of music has taken them into other areas - please see my other items for sale.

I have spent time researching the items that I am selling and have done my very best to identify the correct version, but please do message me if you feel there is an error in the listing.

Items are photographed carefully before listing to uniquely identify the vinyl with the sleeve.

The record has been test-played and in our opinion it is more than acceptable for enjoyable listening. There may be the odd pop or scratch in quieter tracks or between tracks.

I have not allowed returns as the item is described and photographed in detail.  These are second-hand items and will come with some age-related faults as do all items other than NM/NM.  If there are any problems whatsoever please message me to find a mutually-beneficial solution to maintain 100% positive feedback on both sides.

The vinyl will be sent in an acid-free paper sleeve and the record will be carefully packaged and sent in a new LP mailer to the UK MAINLAND ONLY.  Multiple purchases will be credited for postage savings.  International only by direct negotiation and all fees, duties and courier costs are payable by the buyer.
