Gimme Vinyl- The mono release was originally phased out around 1969. Original UK mono issues will have the Sold in UK statement.
The mono version was re-issued in 1981/2 with similar labels to the original, but differ by having the legend Mono on the labels that's absent on original copies.
I'd seen a copy of Help in mono on Parlophone at a local record store here in Michigan.. pretty clean shape. I find it just a little hard for me to pull the trigger on this one, at $29.95.. even though I'd prefer this over the US Capitol pressing in Stereo. What year did Parlophone phase out this mono release?
