MORE BEATLES ITEMS TO COME: INCREDIBLE TROVE OF RARITIES!
CONDITION OF DISC .......... NM
CONDITION OF COVER ...... VG+
THE BEATLES LP HELP! (EMI Parlophone 5C 062-04257).
I cannot determine if this is a reissue or an original. The "Help" on front cover is orange; the matrix number is stamped. The legend goes that only 2000 of these were made & distributed to Shell Corp. employees. Cover printed in Netherlands, disc pressed in Sweden, as intended. Black dot on back cover. A collectible related to the Royal Dutch Shell Corp, hence the kooky Shell logo backdrop! (Matrix #: "PCS 3071 A MA YEX 168 2/169 1").
DISC NM
From an ardent Beatles collector who treated these items w/ utmost care: Free of scratches, scuffs, warps. Fine sheen on platter surface. Has been safely stored upright in a smoke-free, climate-controlled environment.
COVER VG+
All in all, quite a nice-looking piece with a few tiny slightly rough spots here & there along edge. Free of ring wear & speckling. Free of stains, seam splits, c/o marks, water damage, or color fading. Nice spine - fully readable. Nice labels: sharp-cut hole free of spindle scuffs.
