We ALWAYS process and ship every paid order. We have no control over parcels once they are mailed from our local Post Office. Overseas mail to some countries (Italy, Russia, France, in particular) has became very slow. Opening a dispute for slow mail is unacceptable and will result in blocking the bidder.

Collection worthy!! MINTy CLEAN ...
1965 first print
George Martin recorded his versions of what became the HELP! album before The Beatles released their LP. That's why Martin used what were then the "working titles" as listed on this Lp; "Scrambled Egg" became "Yesterday" , "Auntie Gin’s Theme" became "I’ve Just Seen A Face" and "That’s A Nice Hat (Cap)" became "It’s Only Love".
When the film 'A Hard Day's Night' was released in the US it was released by United Artists.
They (UA) had the rights to release the soundtrack which they did on their version of the 'A Hard Day's Night' LP.
Capitol, however, had the rights to release ALL Beatles songs in the US so they could release the same songs as United Artists did as long as they (Capitol) didn't market them as 'soundtracks'.
And so they did on their legendary LP 'Something New'.
That left United Artists with four instrumentals by the George Martin Orchestra which they released on two singles in an attempt to cash in.
When it came to the film 'Help!' George Martin was not given the task of writing the score.
He later explained:
"Although the music from the first film was an enormous success, Dick Lester and I didn't get on too well. So I had nothing to do with the score".
Instead the score was written by Ken Thorne and The Beatles had nothing to do with his instrumentals (Paul even says so in one of the interviews from the 1965 tour in the US).
The film 'Help!' was also released in the US by United Artists.
However, this time Capitol had managed to get the rights to the soundtrack and they released the Ken Thorne muzak fillers on their version of the 'Help!' LP.
That left United Artists with nothing, so they beat the Beatles "Help" release by several weeks when issuing the counterpart "Help!" by their producer George Martin and his arrangements which are clearly contain more of a suitable "swinging London sound" over the Ken Thorne selections that appeared on the USA Capitol release.
Fifty years has passed since the release of this George Martin Lp. As it was pressed in far and away less quantity than Beatles Captol Help! Lp, so it remains a scarce lesser seen, lesser available album and extremely hard to find without cover wear due to the black color ...
