[Review]
Here you have a transfer from my original UK mono copy of "Help!" (-2/-2), that you can compare to the 2014 reissue. This is a first pressing (variation B).
"Like A Hard Day's Night, Help! contained the songs from the film on side one of the album with the other side devoted to other new recordings including two covers. Unlike A Hard Day's Night, the two singles released prior to and alongside the album had exclusive B-sides. Help! also marked the return of George Harrison as a songwriter. George contributed one song to each side of the album. The striking album front cover features The Beatles making semaphore signals but these do not spell Help! The album went immediately to no.1 in the British charts remaining there for a total of nine of its 37 weeks in the Top Twenty." (from thebeatles.com)

I'm truly enjoying these mono pressings you're posting. As usual, the work is top notch.
Thank you, McCannon.
