Description of Help!:
How John Lennon's confessional song became the title for a silly James Bond spoof I really don't know. The funny thing is, it works both ways--as a young man's personal statement about learning to open up to others, and as the frantic theme for an exotic espionage chase comedy starring those lovable mop-tops (this time in color). Like A Hard Day's Night, only the first "side" of this album actually contains songs from the movie--the biggest hits being the eponymous cry for assistance and "Ticket to Ride." But part 2 has a few nice tunes as well, like "It's Only Love," "I've Just Seen a Face," and a little ditty called "Yesterday." And I always love it when they do an all-out screamer like "Dizzy Miss Lizzy," which sounds like John's raucous answer to Paul's "Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey" vocal on Beatles for Sale. Of course, it's essential--as are all the Beatles' soundtracks (all the Beatles' albums), with the possible exception of Yellow Submarine. --Jim Emerson
Help! Reviews:
Their Turning Point 
2009-12-13 - I have to say that I'm not a big fan of the first four Beatles albums. They have some good songs but until this album "Help!" they didn't have great albums. This is definetely their turning point. The albums "Please Please Me", "With the Beatles", "A Hard Day's Night", and "Beatles for Sale" are pop albums with some rock songs. This album was the first time they did more refined music. Although the title track "Help!" is a pop song, I love it - it is one of my top10 Beatles songs. There are some other pop songs too on this album - like "Another Girl" which is also a great song. But could you think songs like "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" or amazing "Yesterday" on The Beatles first four records? Maybe they could have been but they indicate their style was changing. If I had to guess I would say that they were little shy at first to perform songs like those ones - at least "Yesterday" is far from their earlier albums. The songs like "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" could have been in the first albums - it's early kind of rock and roll. I don't know who is singing in the songs but "It's Only Love" has been sung perfectly. Shortly - there's many great songs in this album and that's why it deserves a classic status.
Stars: Help!, Yesterday, It's Only Love
Awesome ReIssue!!!!!
2009-11-13 - The powers-that-be have done a superlative job in re-mastering these Beatles classics done over 40 years ago and Amazon came through with a wonderful price on this collection @ under $10 apiece...what more can I say? The sound is magnificent and the packaging is both beautiful and creative, a welcome addition to anyones CD collection...do yourself a favor and add these to your catalogue!!!!
This Was My FIRST!
2009-11-10 - They say you always remember your first, and I have to agree it's true. The Beatles album "HELP" was the first LP album I ever purchased. After seeing the Beatles live in 1964 Germany, even though I was only 10 years old, I loved them without question. My older sister took me to see the Beatles in 64 and she went with me when I bought my first Beatles albums "Meet The Beatles" and "Help" which I still cherish to this day. Although I don't play them anymore, and they're collectables now, These remastered CD's bring the old scratchy and poppy music tracks back to life in a way I can hardly believe. It's wonderful to hear these Beatles songs I love so much brought back to life in the crystal clear digital age!
