甲壳虫乐队 - Help! (UK) - 2nd MONO - ''Lark Music'' - Nice copy! - LP - Mono - 1965

Rare 2nd mono pressing of Help! by The Beatles on Parlophone (PMC 1255), a desirable variant distinguished by a crucial publishing credit variation on the label. The first pressings of Help! carried an abbreviated credit for "Act Naturally" reading "Lark Mus''", which was quickly corrected to the full spelling "Lark Music" on subsequent pressings—a hallmark change that definitively identifies this as a 2nd pressing issue. This copy features the K/T tax code designation and Gramophone rim text, both consistent with this pressing.

Sleeve (VG+):
A nice and presentable copy showing gentle signs of age. There is slight corner wear and a touch of yellowing to the cream background, but the overall appearance remains clean and attractive. The flipbacks are in good order with no significant creasing. The spine remains clear and readable. Grading VG+.
Vinyl (VG+):
The vinyl displays a pleasant glossy sheen with only light playwear evident. There are no major marks or defects, and the labels remain clean with only minor spindle wear consistent with careful handling. Playback is strong throughout, grading VG+ overall.
