Description
The Beatles- Help - 1965 UK Mono First Press Vinyl LP.
NO OUTER COVER!
Comes with original inner paper sleeve. From a smokefree and petfree home.
The Beatles 1965 HELP Vinyl LP - no sleeve. Original 1st press Mono recording.
Numbers XEX 549 -2 and XEX 550 -2 on runout grooves. (These numbers prove it is a first pressing). Plays mostly very well indeed. See below for issues.
Collection in Deal, Kent. It has the white paper sleeve but the original front cover is not present. Original inner sleeve. There are lines/scratchmarks on the vinyl but overall it plays really well and the marks/ surface scratches do not impair the sound too much (see below).
This will be well-packaged and fully insured, posted on the same or next working day after payment.
Happy to combine postage for multiple purchases.
Detailed issues I have noticed:
Side 1
Track 1 (Help) has a single blip during the song (like a split-second scratch). Transition from track 1 to 2 has about 5 of the same noise (likely caused by a light scratch I should think).
Track 2 seems fine apart from a very minor low-noise short crackle but this is not a big interferenceTrack 3 has one or two very light, low-noise scratch sounds but not at all a big deal.
Track 4 is pretty good
Track 5 is pretty good
Track 6 is pretty good Track 7 is pretty good too.
Side 2 track 1 has a scratch noise (a low level regular bip) for about half-3/4 of the track.
track 2 seems fine
track 3 seems fine
track 4 seems fine
track 5 seems fine
track 6 a little noise for a short section (like fluff on the needle) (might clean up and sound better) and blips (like from an intermittent scratch) on a few seconds
track 7 seems fine
That's quite a detailed summary of both sides now. I still like the sound on it despite the imperfections I've noticed. Do ask if you need more info. Happy to help.
