Enhance your vinyl archive with this distinctive 1976 UK stereo pressing of The Beatles' Help! LP (PCS 3071). This mid-seventies mid-period edition is easily identified by the silver, black, and white two-EMI box Parlophone label template, displaying the crucial "EMI RECORDS LTD" manufacturer text printed along the rim. A fascinating variant for serious Fab Four completionists, this copy showcases a unique master pairing, transitioning from the historic -2 cut on the first side to a later Harry Moss etched -3 cut on the flip side.

The record comes housed in a front-laminated Garrod & Lofthouse picture sleeve, that features the iconic outline "stereo" wording in the upper right quadrant of the front panel. Inspection of the dead wax reveals the clear stamped and etched identifiers: YEX 168-2 4 GGM on Side A and YEX 169-3 T HTM on Side B, confirming the coveted "HTM" mastering lineage. We have carefully graded the sleeve as VG due to mild storage wear and two small vintage sticker remnants on the back cover, while the front remains clean. The vinyl itself grades a beautiful, clean Excellent (EX) to ensure top-tier sound reproduction.

This historic Parlophone 33 rpm analogue release provides a wonderfully warm, crisp soundstage for Lennon and McCartney's peak mid-sixties songwriting. Revisit definitive pop-rock history on your turntable with flawless playback of immortal tracks like "Yesterday", "Ticket To Ride", "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away", and the driving title cut "Help!". Secure this fully authenticated, distinct matrix variation for your collection today.
