Another from my personal collection. I have accumilated more than 1000 UK Beatles albums alone over the past 35 years or more! Very rarely do you see Beatles albums in this stunning condition especially after 44 years! Normally seen with lots of ware and scratches or in a terrible state or even look good but play terribly! This album is the exception the vinyls playing surface is awesome and the audio was perfect on my systems. Played ans tested using a dedicated mono cartridge I would grade the audio as good as it gets! This played like a new vinyl! Audio grades at Near Mint!!EXCEPTIONAL!

Beatles fifth Album ''Help!, is the soundtrack album from their film of the same name, Help!.

Produced by George Martin for EMI Records, the album (in its original British form) contains seven songs that appeared in the movie of the same name, and seven that did not, including the most recorded song in history, the Paul McCartney ballad "Yesterday".

The critically acclaimed album also features two trans-atlantic number-one singles: "Ticket to Ride" and the title song. The album shows John Lennon being influenced by Bob Dylan and folk music, with Lennon's "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" in particular indicating an obvious Dylan influence. In later years Lennon said that the title track of the album was a sincere cry for help, as the pressures of the Beatles' fame and his own unhappiness (what he later called his fat Elvis stage) began to build, and that he regretted turning it from a downbeat Dylanesque song to an upbeat, poppy song because of commercial pressures.

McCartney contributed "Yesterday"; "Another Girl", a fast-moving congo-esque beat pop song; "The Night Before", a standard rock & roll song; and "I've Just Seen a Face", a rollicking Dylanesque folk song often overlooked by fans (and which, along with It's Only Love, appeared on the Rubber Soul album in the U.S.).

George Harrison contributed the low-key "I Need You" and the head-strong "You Like Me Too Much". These were Harrison's first song compositions to be included on a Beatles album since "Don't Bother Me", from 1963's With the Beatles.

THE AUDIO QUALITY

I HAVE PLAYED THIS THROUGH ON A TOP SYSTEM PRIOR TO LISTING AT VERY LOUD VOLUME USING A DEDICATED MONO CARTRIDGE! THIS PLAYED ON MY SYSTEMS AS GOOD AS IT GETS IN MY OPINION! ABSOLUTELY CRISTAL CLEAR AND VIBRANT TROUGHOUT! (NO) DISTORTION OR ANY SIGNS THAT THIS HAS BEEN OVERPLAYED WHAT SO EVER!,, SO RARE TO EVER FIND ON A 44 YEAR OLD BEATLES RECORD! IT IS QUITE OBVIOUS TO ME THAT VISUALLY AND AUDIBLY, THIS HAS BARELY EVER BEEN PLAYED PROBABLY NO MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF TIMES IN MY OPINION!! TRULY STUNNING COPY TO EVER FIND! 

 PLEASE NOTE! I ALWAYS ADD THIS DISCLAMER!! THIS IS AN ORIGINAL VINYL THAT IS 42 YEARS OLD AND WOULD HAVE BEEN ORIGINALLY PLAYED ON A 42 YEAR OLD SYSTEM!! PLEASE ALLOW FOR THE ODD STATIC (NOT CONSISTANT THROUGHOUT THE AUDIO) ALTHOUGH I NEVER HEARD ANY MAJOR PROBLEMS AT ALL DURING THE AUDIO AND I WOULD CLASS MYSELF AS HIGHLY CRITICAL AND HAVE GIVEN MY HONEST OPINION WHEN DESCRIBING THIS ALBUM!!!! (SEE MY FEEDBACK AND OTHER RECORDS THAT I HAVE SOLD OF THIS CALABER AND YOU WILL SEE THAT I NORMALY GET IT RIGHT I AM NOT OVER ESTIMATING THIS RECORD.).I WOULD GRADE THE AUDIO AS  NEAR MINT!

IMPORTANT NOTE! THIS VINYL HAS BEEN STORED IN A CASE LAYING DORMANT FOR OVER 25 YEARS OR MORE!,, A BUILD UP OF DIRT AND DUST IN THE GROOVES CAUSES STATIC. A CONSTANT CLEAN BEFORE EACH PLAY IS HIGHLY RECOMENDED. THIS WILL REDUCE ANY STATIC AND WILL ENHANCE THE AUDIO QUALITY.
