Description

(Note:  If you win multiple items in a week’s listings, please wait for the end of all of the auctions for me to invoice you, so that you can take advantage of my combined shipping offer.  Thanks!)

 

READ THIS! These records are NOT sold for perfect sound quality. They’re sold for their scarcity and VISUAL grading. They’ve been in storage for a decade, and they WILL play with surface noise that can be addressed with D4 or a VPI cleaning.  I can’t test-play at the minute. Please don’t bid if this is a problem for you.

So with that said…

 

Beatles LP 1969 Help! Scarce Record Club Green Capitol Label, A1 Plates from 8-Track NM!

 

Vinyl--- NM/NM.  Vinyl is completely unplayed.  I bought this copy when it was open about ¾ of the way.  Wanting to see which pressing it was, I opened it and was delighted to see that it’s a Record Club.

(As collectors know, some Record Club issues have A1 plates.  These copies were pressed from the same tape sources as the 8-track tapes from that period of time, and so not only do they have fresh sound quality, some titles also have different mixes that were only issued previously on the 8-tracks.)

Plates--- 1A/1A.  See photos.

Cover--- EX.  Muscular-strong, a little dirtwear on back cover.  Unfortunately, this cover does not have the extra numeral “8” in the catalogue number.  NO SPLITS.

(NOTE:  This cover is NOT in the shrinkwrap.  I removed it, due to it being old, damaged and dirty.)

Gatefold--- EX.  Beautiful graphics, bold colors.  Gatefold seam is muscular-strong as well.  NO SPLITS.

Labels--- NM/NM.  Labels have the additional numeral “8” in the catalogue number, both sides.  No small Capitol logo in the bottom perimeter print.  (See compere photo.)  NO SPINDLE MARKS.

Capitol Inner Sleeve--- Generic white inner sleeve with no die-cut hole for the labels to show is present and in EX condition.  NO SPLITS.

A generic inner sleeve will be provided, so as not to damage your original Capitol inner sleeve en route.

RIAA: N/A.

 

As these records have been in storage for many years, they will play back with crackling and tics, however; a good moisturizing and cleaning with either D4 Discwasher or a VPI machine always clears them up.  Thanks!)

Note:  All LP’s ship outside of their album covers in order not to damage the covers during shipment.

CAUTION!  There has been a startling increase in bidders canceling their bids.  A word to the wise, I have started blocking any and all bidders who retract their bids regardless of the reason.

Please don’t bid unless you’re willing to honor your amount, okay? Thanks!

(Please note:  Regarding play-testing, my Technics turntable has somehow seized.  The tone arm is stuck in the up position, and I can’t get it to fully return to its cradle.  Is there anyone out there, who can tell me if this is an easy fix?  Thanks!)
