The Beatles Help! Vinyl LP PCS3071 VG+ Condition 1980 Reissue.


Black label with silver print and white Parlophone and EMI logos; this has subtle variations with each pressing.


This label design from 1980-1984. The perimeter rim text reads:

"All Rights Of The Producer And The Owner Of The Recorded Work Reserved · Unauthorised Public Performance, Broadcasting, Copying And Hiring Of This Record Prohibited · Manufactured In The UK By EMI Records Limited."


A later edition (1984-87) has rearranged part of the text:

Unauthorised Copying, Hiring, Renting, Public Performance And Broadcasting Of This Record Prohibited ·


Laminated-front non-flipback sleeve [the sleeve is laminated on the front and does not have the 'Flipback' foldover onto the reverse seen in previous pressings; subsequent pressings have non-laminated sleeves that later still include a barcode].


The matrix numbers on the label remained constant but those in the run-out may have additional [Mothers/Stampers] numbers changing with each master plate.


Vinyl Condition is VG+ a very clean copy not far from EX condition


Sleeve Condition is VG has some small rip marks on the spine as seen in photos otherwise in a VG+ condition


Plain white inner sleeve
