EDITORS’ NOTES

The group's second foray into feature films produced exceptional new music on this soundtrack album. Help!, which includes "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away," "Ticket to Ride," and "Yesterday," mingles tracks featured in the film with groundbreaking original songs. With the release of this album, The Beatles brought a wide array of instrumentation (woodwinds, electric piano, tambourine) and orchestration to a pop album. The immediacy of their songwriting, their jangling riffs, and their charismatic vocals helped to usher in the sound of the '60s.
