THE BEATLES - HELP! 1965 Soundtrack MONO LP Possible L.A. First Pressing

Description: THE BEATLES HELP! ORIGINAL MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK 1965 GATEFOLD MONO LP Capitol Records MAS-2386 Terrible movie but my third favorite Beatles album not only because of the great Beatles songs on it, but also the cool instrumental spy themes and Indian-flavored music. This album was completely play-tested and sounded a near-Excellent VG+, definitely a cut above your average VG+. (There is a name written in pen on the B-side label, the same that is written on the the front cover, top right of the album jacket.) The cover is VG+. At first I thought this is a Los Angeles First Pressing due to the matrix/runout sequence (see below) indicative of a First Pressing, but the label text does not conform to it. Side B labels DO list Ken Thorne as the writer of track B6, and "H E L P !" at the top of both labels is spaced out. That would conform to a 2nd pressing label. What I believe occurred is that the second state label was put on the first state vinyl, a rare but absolutely possible occurrence. Anyway, that's a conundrum for the collector/vinyl purist to solve. Matrix / Runout (Side A, runout variant 3): MAS-1-2386-T7-G Matrix / Runout (Side B, runout variant 3): MAS-2-2386-P6-G
