DESCRIPTION: All Music Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine 

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 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.

April 2017, ROYAL MAIL ANNUAL UK POSTAGE PRICES: (some slight changes)

Those who have bought off me before know that I do not add on any extras.

My prices are based on carefully averaged parcel weights because I use strong recycled cardboard.

LP weights & covers vary considerably, (it is rare that any two parcels are exactly the same weight)

BUYING MORE THAN ONE ITEM:

If you buy more than one item ebay will not automatically calculate the postage savings for combined parcels:

i.e., it costs the same to post 1, 2, or 3 singles to UK, Europe or ROW & 1, 2 or 3 LPs to UK, (see full chart below)

Please email to let me know after an item has finished if you plan to bid on subsequent items - then again when you’re ready for your Invoice, email to let me know & I can then adjust your postage savings.  THANK YOU

PLEASE NOTE: I NEVER USE ‘MAILERS’:

I MAKE VERY STRONG PARCELS USING RECYCLED CARDBOARD IN ORDER TO GIVE MAXIMUM PROTECTION IN TRANSIT
