Overview Edit

Help! is the fifth UK and ninth US album by The Beatles, and the soundtrack from their film of the same name. Produced by George Martin for EMI's Parlophone Records, it contains fourteen songs in its original British form, of which seven appeared in the film Help!. These songs took up the first side of the vinyl album and included the singles "Help!" and "Ticket to Ride". The second side contained seven other releases including the most covered song ever written, "Yesterday".

The American release was a true soundtrack album, mixing the first seven songs with orchestral material from the film. Of the other seven songs, two were released on the US version of the next Beatles album, Rubber Soul; two were back-to-back on the next U.S. single and then appeared on Yesterday and Today; and three had already been on Beatles VI.

In 2003, the album was ranked number 332 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 500 greatest albums of all time.

Even a song like Yesterday shows a real maturity in the lyrics.

The songs offered here are the Beatles at the top of their game, in my opinion. Gorgeous melod…

3 stars The Beatles lose direction....for a moment
I'm a Beatlemanic who loves The Beatles. Every song is important and I know all of them by heart. As with The Rolling Stones(until the 80s) The Beatles could not make a bad album but they could make some weaker ones. Now I love this album but using a critical eye it does not rank with there best. As with A HARD DAYS NIGHT album on vinyl on the british release which is now the cd side one was songs from the film and side two songs recorded at the same time. The film songs are great But with the e…
