Help!/ I'm Down

Besides the A side of this classic single — which occupies spot #259 in Dave Marsh's list of the 1,001 greatest singles of all time — the B side is listed at No. 598 in Marsh's book! So this single ends up taking two places in his book... One of only a few classic 45s to achieve that feat. This is the original release, without 'a subsidiary of...' etc. language on label. By the way, this single is specially edited from a 2:35 album track. The B side was a non-album cut that didn't appear on the "Help!" album. Note: This beautiful copy comes in a Near Mint picture sleeve that's bright and shiny with no ringwear and virtually no edgewear, but it does have two sets of unobtrusive staple holes near the top. The 45 itself has no notable flaws, grading Mint across the board (Labels, Vinyl, Audio).
