Nice and original UK mono first pressing (PMC 1255) of Help! by The Beatles. A classic mid-60s UK issue featuring the black & yellow Parlophone labels, KT tax code, and early -2 / -2 matrix combination. ⸻ Sleeve (VG): The sleeve retains a nice glossy laminated finish, with some creasing, spine wear, and light corner wear. The flipbacks are clean, with only some small writing on the back. Overall a solid and presentable VG example. Vinyl (VG-, playing better): The vinyl shows clear signs of play, with many hairlines and visible marks, including some light scratches. None are feelable, and playback is good overall, grading VG- visually but playing better. ⸻ Details * UK mono first pressing * Black/yellow Parlophone labels * KT tax code present ⸻ Matrix / Stampers * YEX 549-2 / YEX 550-2 * Stampers: 4 OH / 1 GG ⸻ Final Remarks A nice and honest UK mono Help!, offering: * True first press mono configuration * Early -2 / -2 matrices
