This item is not for sale. Gripsweat is an archive of past sales and auctions, none of the items are available for purchase.

Early UK mono copy of The Beatles' Help! from 1965. 

Flipback Garrod & Lofthouse sleeve, -2/-2 matrices, black & yellow Parlophone labels with perimeter rim copyright text beginning, 'THE GRAMOPHONE CO LTD...', and the text 'SOLD IN U.K. SUBJECT TO...' across the middle. 

Sleeve overall is Good+ to VG with just some spine and edge creases, marks and wear to the back and some tears at opening edge. 

The vinyl is more like Good+ - it plays through without skipping or jumping, the music is loud and clear but there is low level surface noise and crackle between tracks. It certainly plays better than it looks! 

It's been well loved and there are lots of hairlines, scuffs and some feelable scratches. 

The black and yellow Parlophone labels are at least VG with just minor wear. 

Original Emitex inner sleeve with waxed paper lining is VG to VG+ (no seam splits!). 

Decent starter copy with life left in it.
