Does anyboby have or seen a Help solid centre with gramophone rims on both sides. Ive only ever seen these on the A side but never on the Im Down side. they always turn up Gram/Parl. We can work it out solid centre always turns up the same as well, Maybe they were pressed at the same time ? |

I have seen Help!/I'm down with both Parlophone and Gramophone, as well as Parlo./Gramo. |

I did see a solid Help for sale recently that I'm sure had the same style both sides, and I think it was Gramophone too However my own copy is a cross over.... |

The last solid Help was Andrews and that was a parlophone rim copy but the last 3 or 4 Gramophone rim copies had parlophone rim for the Im down side, which makes me think they must all be like that. Ive never saw Im Down Gramophone rim with a solid centre ! And you never see a Decca parlophone rim either... Baffling. |

it does prove that both labels were used along side each other for many years, so as I've said many times to call a parl rimmed Help or Day tripper for that matter a " first press " is very misleading.... So Andrews was a parl rim both sides ??? |

And, as usual, Emi printed lots of labels....so they may have used them through the years.... |
