FAB 4 COLLECTIBLES PROUDLY OFFERS THIS VERY RARE JACKSONVILLE, INDIANA STEREO PRESSING OF THE "HELP!" SOUNDTRACK LP ALBUM, THAT INCLUDES THE THIRD AND FINAL LABEL VARIATION THAT HAS ADDED THE KEN THORNE COMPOSER CREDIT ON "THE BITTER END" AND ALSO LISTS THE SONG TITLE "YOU CAN'T DO THAT" BELOW "THE BITTER END" AS PART OF THE FOURTH SELECTION ON SIDE TWO.

THIS JACKSONVILLE PRESSING (INDICATED BY THE STAMPED "0" IN THE RUN-OUT GROOVES) WITH BOTH ADDED INCLUSIONS ON THE LABEL WAS NOT CONFIRMED IN BRUCE SPIZER'S WONDERFUL BOOK "THE BEATLES' STORY ON CAPITOL RECORDS, PART TWO: THE ALBUMS". AT THE TIME OF THAT PUBLICATION,  IT HAD STATED THAT ONLY EAST COAST AND WEST COAST STEREO VERSIONS WITH THE KEN THORNE CREDITS AND "YOU CAN'T DO THAT" HAD ONLY BEEN CONFIRMED. BOTH THE SHIMMERING "AS NEW" UNPLAYED VINYL AND LABELS ARE SIMPLY IMMACULATE, AND GRADE A SUPERIOR MINT MINUS.

THE STUNNING STEREO NEAR MINT GATEFOLD COVER REMAINS IN A 'SEARS ROEBUCK AND CO.'  LOOSE STYLE LP STORE BAGGYWRAP. THE WRAP IS IN NEAR MINT MINUS CONDITION, WITH NO RIPS AND SIMPLY HAS THE USUAL RUBBING WEAR IN VARIOUS AREAS.

THIS SET IS ACCOMPANIED BY ITS ORIGINAL CAPITOL OLIVE GREEN INNER DUST ADVERTISEMENT SLEEVE (SUMMER TO LATE 1965 ISSUE), WHICH IS INDEED THE MATCHING JACKSONVILLE FACTORY INNER, DICTATED BY THE PRINTED CODE NUMBER IN THE BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER "PE 12-2EJ". IT IS IN NEAR MINT CONDITION (IMAGE INCLUDED BELOW).

STEREO COPIES OF BEATLES ALBUMS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO 1966 ARE SIGNIFICANTLY RARER THAN THEIR MONO COUNTERPARTS. IT'S ESTIMATED THAT ONLY FIFTEEN PERCENT OF CAPITOL'S BEATLES ALBUMS MANUFACTURED PRIOR TO 1966 WERE STEREO. FINDING THIS GATEFOLD STEREO ISSUE IN THIS CONDITION, AND HIGHLIGHTED AND FEATURING THE JACKSONVILLE PRESSING FACTORS - MAKES THIS TRULY A GREAT FIND.
