Description
The Beatles LP called HELP! from the film. This is a German LP on HOR ZU label SHZE 162 and stereo. A German record in Cleveland, Ohio, saves you some large postage costs! This is a year later then when the first version came out in 1965. This is a repress on HOR ZU label. This version has in black lettering at the upper left corner of the HOR ZU label as LANGSPIELPLATTE instead of ELECTROLA in the first version. (Langspielplatte means long playing record.). But ELECTROLA is on the label. This version on the Side 1 label has the line underneath the title HELP! (under STEREO) as Songs From The Film Help (H-HI-Hilfe). It should have been (Hi-Hi-Hilfe). Typo!
You can see the song titles on the back cover. The white cover has that shiny silky look and feel to it (laminated). At the upper right corner on front cover, there is a little bend/wrinkle above the S. I see the top seam was partially taped because it was opening up there. Side seam has a couple of bends/nicks in it. Barely any ringwear showing. Comes in a white inner sleeve.
The vinyl side 1 has several light surface scratches, but none of this caused any skips, pops, or crackles. Side 2 has a couple of surface scratches, too, but all sounds great still. There were no skips or pops. I heard about 2 little crackles and that was it. Here is a 52-second audio/video so you can hear the quality of a few tunes.
Feel free to email me for more information on an item. Depending on your state, they may charge sales tax now and it may show up on your invoice. If buying 2 or more records, don't pay yet. Let me send you an invoice combining both records to save on the postage costs.
SHIPPING: Will ship within one day of receiving payment and I will ship between Monday and Friday. Will ship in LP mailers with inserts and bubblewrap for protection. Will provide tracking number also within the USA. Ships out of the Cleveland, Ohio area via Media Mail.
Guidelines I use to rate the quality of these records (based on the Goldmine Grading Guide):
NM:Near Mint - Vinyl, still shiny, as if opened for the first time. No writing or stickers on the vinyl. No obvious scratches. Label: No writing or stickers and no fading of the label.
NM-: Near Mint Minus - Similar to NM but will have some very light scratches on the vinyl not affecting the sound quality. No writing or stickers on label and no fading (or ringwear) on cover or label.
EX: Excellent - Not quite a Goldmine Standard Listing, but being used by many now. Cover: No ink wear, minor creases to corners, no seam tears. Vinyl can have scratches, but not felt by your fingers. Sound quality must be mint. No more than 15% of the surface should have wear or scuffs on it. To me, EX is like a VG++.
VG+: Very Good Plus - Similar to NM- except that on the label, there may be a sticker or writing, but it shows very little wear. There may be only a couple light surface scratches on the grooves, but do not affect the playback with noise or skips. You may only see these scratches if you put them under a bright light and really look for them. The cover might have light creasing or minor seam or corner wear, but still in great condition to show off.
VG to VG-: Very Good to Very Good Minus - May not be that shiny anymore and you will see scratches without putting it under a bright light, but they still would not affect the quality of the playback. The sound quality is still pretty good, maybe a little noise, but not enough to detract from the listening experience. The label might have some fading around it, besides having stickers or writing. The cover may have obvious ringwear in the middle or around the perimeter of where the record was, maybe some side seam splits, or little tears at the top or side where the record goes back into. If less defects, then it's a VG. If it has all this just mentioned, then a VG-.
G, G+: Good or Good Plus - It doesn't mean the vinyl is trashed. It plays though without skipping, but may have heavy noise or fuzz sound because of age, quality, or worn-down grooves. Heavy writing or stickers on the label, ringwear is very obvious on label and cover probably has seam splits. But, amazingly, if you have special audio LP recording software, you could probably clean up those crackles and fuzzes, if you want to create a CD of it for yourself.
P: Poor - This is when the vinyl is warped to the point it warps the playback also. Or it's cracked, but it may or may not still play without a skip. If a picture sleeve is with it, this is torn or marked up bigtime. But someone may want to have it for nostalgia or even attempt to fix it.
