Help! is the fifth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles and the soundtrack to their film of the same name. It was released on 6 August 1965. Seven of the fourteen songs, including the singles `Help!` and `Ticket to Ride`, appeared in the film and take up the first side of the vinyl album. The second side includes `Yesterday`, the most-covered song ever written.[3] The album was met with favourable critical reviews and topped the Australian, German, UK and US charts.

During the recording sessions for the album, the Beatles continued to explore the studio`s multitracking capabilities to layer their sound. `Yesterday` features a string quartet, the band`s first use of Baroque sensibilities, and `You`ve Got to Hide Your Love Away` includes a flute section. The North American release is a true soundtrack album, combining the first seven songs with instrumental music from the film. The omitted tracks are instead spread across the Capitol Records LPs Beatles VI, Rubber Soul and Yesterday and Today.

In the US, Help! marked the start of artistic recognition for the Beatles from mainstream critics, including comparisons to the European art music tradition. It was nominated in the category of Album of the Year at the 1966 Grammys Awards, marking the first time that a rock band had been recognised in this category. In 2000, it was voted 119th in the third edition of Colin Larkin`s book All Time Top 1000 Albums. In 2020, it was ranked 266th on Rolling Stone magazine`s list of the `500 Greatest Albums of All Time`. In September 2013, after the British Phonographic Industry changed its sales award rules, Help! was certified platinum for recorded sales since 1994.[4]

Music
The album includes Paul McCartney`s `Yesterday`, arranged for guitar and string quartet and recorded without the other group members. John Lennon`s `You`ve Got to Hide Your Love Away` indicates the influence of Bob Dylan and includes flutes.

`Ticket to Ride`, released as a single in April 1965, was felt by Lennon to be `heavy` in its sound compared to the group`s previous output[5] and daring in its reference to a boy and girl living together. McCartney called the arrangement `quite radical`. During the recording sessions for the album, the band used the studio`s multitracking capabilities to layer their sound. In this, author Mark Prendergast highlights George Harrison`s use of a volume pedal and incorporation of `more intricate chordal devices to enrich his guitar sound`.[6]

As a songwriter, Harrison contributed `I Need You` and `You Like Me Too Much`. These were his first compositions to be included on a Beatles album since `Don`t Bother Me` on 1963`s With the Beatles.

The record contained two cover versions and a few tracks more closely related to the group`s previous pop output, but still marked a decisive step forward.[citation needed] The record sleeve-note shows that Lennon and McCartney made more extensive and prominent use of keyboards, previously played unobtrusively by Martin. Four-track overdubbing technology encouraged this. Lennon, for his part, made much greater use of acoustic guitar.

The original LP`s format of featuring songs from the soundtrack on side one and non-soundtrack songs on side two follows the format of A Hard Day`s Night.
