Most of the songs on this album could easily be placed on their later albums without them seeming out of place. Pre-Rubber Soul Beatles’ albums are generally seen as lesser to later Beatles productions but that is not necessarily the case. ‘Help!’ should easily stand side-by-side with the later albums in people’s minds as some of the finest tunes the band ever produced.
Stick it on, play it loud and see what you think, enjoy.
Shipping may be combined where possible.
