The Beatles
Help! 5th pressing
Early 1970's press

Have a listen to a track from this album up for auction:

Firstly a bit of history of the album.....HELP was the BEATLES'  5th album coming out on the 6th August 1965. The premier of the album was played in London on the 29th July. Once again reaching the top spot in all record magazines of that era...as they had done with the previous four albums!
