On offer here is a very rare, original Danish 1st Pressing of the Beatles LP 'Help!'. This is the original Stereo pressing that comes housed in an original Stereo UK sleeve!
It seems that when this LP was initially released EMI in the UK sent out their original pressing plates (indicated by the identical matrix numbers and mother numbers) whilst Garrod & Lofthouse supplied them with sleeves. These originial stereo presses are a lot harder to find than their mono counterparts as, in 1965, stereo was still very much an unaffordable novelty. It wasn't until a few years later when the trends flipped and mono became obsolete.
This is a beautiful example of the rare LP and one you'd have a lot of trouble trying to top. Check out the condition below!
...
The cover is holding up great for its age with just a few little signs of age - still looking great for a cover that was manufactured over 50 years ago now! The front has creamed just a little but the laminate is wonderfully clean with a crisp shine to it. There's just a slight disc impression and a bit of light browning down the spine-edge and a couple of light, dark streaks near the top just to the left of 'Help!'. Top and bottom seams are absolutely perfect. The spine is perfect with no creases, splits or anything, and is completely uncrushed. The back has creamed a little with a little light browning down the mouth edge. The overflaps are all suck tightly with just a little dirt buildup where the laminate has shrunk back. There's a tiny number 9 written in blue pen at the top right corner. All in all though, this cover is looking very clean and solid! Nice cover! Disc (Visually Graded Only!!) : EX++
The playing surface has a beautiful shine to it and just a few very light, faint little scuffs here and there prevent this disc from being graded a true NM. Incredible condition!!
.
The labels are near flawless with just one of two very light, faint little spindlemarks hinting at the possibility that this LP has only really been played a couple of times. Stellar labels!!
.
All records have been visually graded under a strong, 125W natural light desk lamp.
