Description

Here we have the Original BEATLES HELP! LP in Mono. This UK PARLOPHONE album is from 1965. Its condition is near mint/excellent .. both the record and sleeve are in extremely well preserved condition.The cover is spotless and features the group spelling out a word in semaphore; this British Parlophone release featured the word 'NUJV'. However, it may be argued that some of the members of the band have been not only re-arranged but reversed. One finds that, despite the Beatles' poor stature, it spells out 'LPUS' - possibly meaning "Help us", "an LP by us" or "Long Play Us" Produced by George Martin for EMI Records, the album (in its original British form) contains seven songs that appeared in the movie and seven that did not, including one of the most successful songs in history, the archetypal Paul McCartney ballad "Yesterday". Even without the presence of the legendary "Yesterday", many critics consider the album Help! worthy of high praise. The album shows The Beatles, but mainly John Lennon, under the influence of Bob Dylan and folk music. The title track reveals Lennon's confusion and cynicism hidden under a maze of rhythms; "It's Only Love" features another tugging vocal by Lennon. McCartney adds "Yesterday" as well as "Another Girl", a fast moving congo beat pop song; "The Night Before", a standard rock & roll song, and "I've Just Seen a Face", a rollicking Dylanesque folk song often overlooked by Beatles fans. George Harrison contributes the low-key "I Need You" and the headstrong "You Like Me Too Much". Enjoy!
