THE BEATLES, HELP! 1965 MONO 1st UK PRESS, PMC 1255, -2/-2 MATRIX, STEREO SLEEVE From my own personal collection.
1965 MONO 1st UK pressing on the original Parlophone black/yellow labels. Catalogue no. PMC 1255, matrix XEX 549-2,XEX 550-2. PLEASE NOTE the record comes in a STEREO sleeve PCS 3071. At some point a long time ago the record was accidentally put in the wrong Beatles Help! sleeve, as I have had several MONO and STEREO copies over the years.

Mint: The record itself is in brand new condition with no surface marks or deterioration in sound quality. The cover and any extra items such as the lyric sheet, booklet or poster are in perfect condition.

Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening of sound quality. The cover and packaging might have slight wear and / or creasing.

Very Good: The record has obviously been played many times, but displays no major deterioration in sound quality, despite noticeable surface marks and the occasional light scratch. Normal wear and tear on the cover or extra items, without any major defects, is acceptable.

Good: The record has been played so much that the sound quality has noticeably deteriorated, perhaps with some distortion and mild scratches. The cover and contents suffer from folding, scuffing of edges, spine splits, discolouration etc.

Fair: The record is still just playable but has not been cared for properly and displays considerable surface noise: it may even jump. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Poor: The record will not play properly due to scratches, bad surface noise etc.. The cover and contents will be badly damaged or partly missing.

Bad: The record is unplayable or might even be broken, and is only of use as a collection filler.
