The pictures are disappearing, but looks like a UK first press of 'Help' in mono? Nice find!
Last Beatles' album to include cover songs, both on side 2 as you show.
Any comments on the SQ?
A trip to Spitalfields market yesterday. I got the following
Bad Company - Straight Shooter early Uk Press
Grateful Dead first album in mono first press on gold label. Not mint condition though!! Needs a clean and the cross everything to see how it plays!!
Spirit live double album uk original pressing. Again needs a clean then we will see.
Eno/Cale/Nico/Kevin Ayers June - live album. U.K. 1st pressing. looks in nice condition.
Analogue Productions' mono reissue of this 1951 classic, as recommended by Graeme (Quad 33) - delivered this morning from Diverse. Looking forward to listening to it:

The sound quality is excellent, it's obviously been played quite a few times, there is a little surface noise between tracks, but it's been well looked after. I can't comment on whether the early pressing sounds better than a later pressing, my only other mono recording of Help 4/RAO but is in a poor cosmetic conditition with slight disortion on replay.
I compaired it to a stereo pressing (reissue 1969?), I heard something I hadn't notice before, there is an echo on part of the volals on yesterday. It's very easy to hear in mono but not so obvious in stereo.
Been shopping, picked up a number of vinyl LPs (all new). First up, The Future Crayon by Broadcast.
Wooden Shjips: Remixes mini-LP:
Public Service Broadcasting: The War Room LP:
Aha, I was playing Race for Space only a little earlier...

New from Music Matters Jazz this very limited Blue Vinyl 33rpm release of one of the great titles.

Tron Original Soundtrack (Wendy Carlos) from Audio Fidelity USA
Very nice UK first press I picked up today for just £8. I am to looking to supplement the US Capitols I have with UK pressings, as they all seem to sound better. All her LPs are revorded very well, but the UK pressings are just more enjoyable and engaging than the US ones.
This beauty
What a stunning performance, magic night Sounds superb!
It's been a long time since my last post , but still following this thread and finally ordered:
Stunning!
