The Record Is Strictly Graded To Record Collector: Excellent: The record shows some signs of having been played, but there is very little lessening in sound quality. The cover and packaging may have slight wear and/or creasing.

The Vinyl record has a clean, deep glossy shine to its surface in normal daylight with no visible or noticeable marks. Under bright halogen light there are very light sleeve handling and marks as would be expected on an LP vinyl record that is almost sixty years old. Nothing to worry about. Excellent condition, or better. In Audio test playback of the recording, the recording produces clean and spacious sounds with excellent mono audio, just a very, very slight pop in some quiet spots between songs, which is a great pleasure to listen to. No repeats, No skips. Excellent, or better.
The Labels are type Yellow Parlophone Type-6-1.The labels are clean and legible, they have slight spindle marks, but they are very light and the text is not affected. There is an initials MA placed on the Parlophone logo on the side 1. pls. see pic. Very Good condition+. Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd. Patents Pending, glossy front laminated cover, with large monochrome front, is in pristine excellent condition both front and back. No stains, tears or writing.The Album "Help!" mono pressing has a sleeve made by "Garrod & Lofthouse Ltd." only (maybe) The pinched spine of the clip is fully legible, no scratches, no splits. (see photo) Missing small or light bubble lines along the edges which are most common in other albums. Excellent condition, even better. Original die-cut Inner sleeve, lined with “Use Emitex” tracing paper. The original inner sleeve is in near excellent condition, showing only minor discoloration at the top edge. However, the lack of creasing indicates the care this record has been given. One side inner sleeve has initials MA placed on it. Very Good condition+. Pls. see pics.
