The Beatles- HELP!- CD- 1965/1995- Parlophone Records/Apple Corps. Ltd./EMI Records Ltd.- 077774643924- 400 grn
HELP! is the fifth studio album by the English rock band The Beatles and the soundtrack to their film of the same name. It was released on 6th August 1965. Seven of the fourteen songs, including the singles "Help!" and "Ticket To Ride", appeared in the film and take up the first side of the vinyl album. The second side includes "Yesterday", the most-covered song ever written. "Yesterday" features a string quartet, the band's first use of Baroque sensibilities, and "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" includes a flute section. The North American release is a true soundtrack album, combining the first seven songs with instrumental music from the film. The omitted tracks are instead spread across the Capitol Records LPs Beatles VI, Rubber Soul and Yesterday And Today. The album cover shows the Beatles with their arms positioned to spell out a word in flag semaphore. According to photographer, the idea of semaphore spelling out the letters HELP. But, the arrangement of the arms with those letters didn't look good. So they decided to improvise and ended up with the best graphic positioning of the arms. The first CD release was on 30th April 1987, using the 14-song UK track line-up when was taken from the original four-track tapes and remixed them for stereo.

Considering that HELP! functions as the Beatles' fifth album and as the soundtrack to their second film - while filming, they continued to release non-LP singles on a regular basis - it's not entirely surprising that it still has some of the weariness of Beatles For Sale. Again, they pad the album with covers, but the Bakersfield bounce of "Act Naturally" adds new flavor, along with an ideal showcase for Ringo's amiable vocals, and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" gives John an opportunity to flex his Rock & Roll muscle. George Harrison is writing again and if his two contributions don't touch Lennon and McCartney's originals, they hold their own against much of their British pop peers. Since Lennon wrote a third more songs than McCartney, it's easy to forgive a pair of minor numbers ("It's Only Love", "Tell Me What You See"), especially since they're overshadowed by four great songs. His Dylan infatuation holds strong, particularly on the plaintive "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" and the title track, where the brash arrangement disguises Lennon's desperation. Driven by an indelible 12-string guitar, "Ticket To Ride" is another masterpiece and "You're Going To Lose That Girl" is the kind of song McCartney effortlessly tosses off - which he does with the jaunty "The Night Before" and "Another Girl", two very fine tunes that simply update his melodic signature. He did much better with "I've Just Seen A Face", an irresistible folk-rock gem, and "Yesterday", a simple, beautiful ballad whose arrangement - an acoustic guitar supported by a string quartet - and composition suggested much more sophisticated and adventurous musical territory, which the group immediately began exploring with Rubber Soul.
