Description
Rare German Beatles EXPORT record from 1965
Help (Beach Cover)
SMO 984 008 Stereo only
Release date: August 1965
Was made in 1965 in Germany ONLY for Export to Switzerland. One of the rarest Beatles record in the world. 100% the original, NO fake. Very beautiful copy of this rare record. This edition was pressed for the Swiss Book Club EX-LIBRIS with a completely new and unique cover, as well with a slightly different cat. number and label (beautiful Yellow Odeon), marked Special Edition on the cover and label.
1st press
Stamped Matrix numbers: SHZE 162-A1/SHZE-162-B1. The Fake has scratched SMO matrix numbers.
The record is graded as EX++. Only a few minimal surface hairlines/scratches. Not hearable and NOT the typical scratched copy ! Very shiny and heavy vinyl. The record is 100% flat and plays without skips or sticks. Beautiful shiny vinyl. The final upgrade.
The frontcover is in EX+ condition. NO major faults. Has only light marks from aging and usage (please see attached pictures). But NO unwanted handwritings, split or tears. Spine has a 3 cm surface damage (but no split) but all numbers can be read. Backcover is EX because of a few light and small stains - see picture. Beautiful condition for this thin and fragile cover. Never seen in this great condition. Frontcover is laminated, Backcover not.
The superb Yellow Odeon label are free from any unwanted writings or stickers. Graded as Mint- only because of very light spindle marks. Different label style.
Please take a look at my other rare Beatles records on Ebay in different auctions.
WE WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR !
