Help! by the Beatles.


SMO 84008


SHZE 162 A1/B1


Rare German copy pressed for the Swiss export market to the best of my knowledge.


Firstly, the record:


Visually not an oil painting with lots of marks & surface scratches but no terribly deep impact damage. The labels have spindle wear & it's seen many a turntable.


Please zoom in on the pictures as they form part of the description.


It's slightly dull so definitely deserves a professional clean.


However it still sounds pretty decent & punchy to me with no skips or jumps.


Secondly, the sleeve:


Clean & unmarked but pretty shabby around the edges with a couple of (sympathetic) patch jobs.


Not a museum piece or an audiophile copy (hence the starting price) but an honest survivor & an interesting one for your collection.


Further notes:


Gruesome _Your'e Going to Lose that Girl_ label misprint.


Please study all pictures before making an offer or bidding because they make up part of the description.


Offers welcome.


I post promptly and securely second class to keep costs down and I sometimes use recycled packaging.


Polite disclaimer:


If you don't have the means to pay for a bid within 48 hours of sale then please let me know before bidding.


Also if you intend making an offer but you have further questions about the items for sale, then you should ask them *prior to making that offer. By making an offer you are committed to the sale should the retailer accept it as per eBay terms and conditions. Sorry to have to mention this but I've suffered some frankly rotten buying etiquette recently.


If you want digital playback then get a download or a CD.


Domestic or GSP buyers only please.


Check out my feedback, bid with confidence, & thanks for looking
