The Beatles
Help!
SUPERB AUDIO & COVER
A TRUE UPGRADE
(This is from my personal collection)

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!
