Description
THE RARITY OF THIS LP:- This is one of the all time RAREST German Beatles LPs ever made. It was only ever made in TINY amounts, and was almost immediately deleted! As a result, it is SERIOUSLY rare and very VERY hard to find now! And even though this one isn't in perfect condition - it is still DEFINITELY worth considering, as 1st Pressings of this LP almost NEVER turn up for sale now!
COUNTRY:- GERMANY
MONO/STEREO:- STEREO
FORMAT:- LP
PRESSING:- 1ST PRESSING - A-1 B-1 MATRIXES, WHITE & GOLD ODEON LABEL, 'ALLE RECHTE' LABEL TEXT, 'SMO 84008' CAT NUMBER, 'ZTOX 5604' SUB CAT NUMBER, AND LAMINATED COVER!
ARTIST:- THE BEATLES
TITLE:- HELP!
CAT NUMBER:- SMO 84 008
LABEL:- ODEON
DATE:- 1965
SIGNS OF PLAY:- LIGHT
LABELS:- EX+
RECORD GRADING:- The record isn't in MINT condition - though it plays VERY well indeed! It plays with NO skips, only a few light clicks, NO jumps, NO groovewear, NO distortion, barely ANY crackle AT ALL, and only some VERY slight background sound on the run on grooves & gaps - NOT in the music AT ALL! Visually the record has NO tick marks, NO nasty concentric marks AT ALL, only 3 or 4 lateral hairline type marks, only 3 or 4 light scufflines, and only a VERY few of the lightest paper scuffs only visible under light! So normally at this point I would be grading the record around Very Good. However, for some reason the vinyl has some lighter spots on either side (almost like measles!). Now these DO NOT SOUND IN ANY WAY - and are clearly part of the vinyl itself. So clearly this must be some kind of pressing error? Without the spots, the record would grade around VG if not better. However, because of the spots I will only grade the record Fair - though plays MUCH better than this grading with NO sticks and NO jumps AT ALL!!!! Still a BRILLIANT playing record and VERY strictly graded!
INNER:- Plain inner which is probably original. Easily Ex.
DEFECTS OUTSIDE OF THE GRADE GIVEN:- N/A

Though there are rarely ever any problems with my items (I always try my very best to describe everything exactly!) - PLEASE REMEMBER to contact with me FIRST, if you have any problems at all, before you leave feedback and star ratings, so I get a chance to turn any negative experience into a positive one!

Please do NOT bid if you cannot give me at least 1 chance to sort everything out to your FULL satisfaction in the unlikely event of a problem. Thanks again - Graham @ XXXRecords.
PLEASE NOTE - Private feedback bidders must consult me first prior to bidding - due to previous problems regarding non-payment, and non-receipt. MY POSTAGE UNDERCHARGE GUARANTEE TO ALL BUYERS (I always undercharge on postage!):- Due to UK Royal Mail's obscene price increases this year - I have had no choice but to increase postage charges a little. Until this year - I had kept them exactly the same since I joined ebay back in 2002. However this years price increases have been so obscene, that I have had no choice but to increase my postage charges for the first time ever. However PLEASE NOTE - my absolute 100% guarantee to you as a buyer - is that I will ALWAYS undercharge postage on everything I send out. Even after the increases, I am still charging you the buyer LESS than I am being charged myself. On each package I send out - the price is clearly stated on the front of the package (please check it when you recieve it!). I also do NOT charge for packaging costs - ONLY for postal costs! And should you find that I have overcharged you postage in ANY way - I will refund DOUBLE the difference. THAT IS MY 100% POSTAL GUARANTEE FOR EACH AND EVERY BUYER! No buyer EVER deserves to be overcharged on postage - and on my listings, I'll make sure they are ALWAYS undercharged. Any questions - please ask!
