Acquire an elusive sixties vinyl milestone with this scarce original 1965 UK stereo first pressing of The Beatles' fifth studio album, Help!. This highly collectable version features the famous black and yellow Parlophone labels, boasting the defining "THE GRAMOPHONE CO. LTD." rim message and the critical "SOLD IN U.K." center statement. Complete with the definitive -1/-1 matrix layout, this genuine stereo pressing also has the original KT tax code embossed directly onto the Side 2 label area.

The record is presented in its original front-laminated flipback Garrod & Lofthouse jacket, instantly recognisable by the distinct outline "stereo" lettering on the front cover. It comes complete with a period-correct polylined Emitex inner sleeve. Graded strictly at a well-loved G/G condition, the sleeve exhibits a tape residue mark down the opening edge, small laminate creases, a small split on the bottom right-hand corner, and a pen name written on the rear. The vintage vinyl displays numerous surface marks; it delivers clear, completely unmuffled audio upon playback, though clicks and pops are present throughout, becoming more noticeable during Side 2.

This authentic UK track configuration provides a completely different sonic experience to the heavily altered North American movie soundtrack equivalent, serving up the full fourteen-track masterpiece. The playlist features immortal classics like the driving title anthem "Help!", "Ticket To Ride", the acoustic beauty "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away", and Paul McCartney's legendary composition "Yesterday". For absolute verification, the runout contains the stamped EMI identifiers: YEX 168 - 1 1 GR on Side A and YEX 169 - 1 3 GP on Side B.
