Beatles 1st Press OZ LP Help! EX ’65 PCSO3071 Black & Silver Parlophone
Original 1st Press OZ LP released in 1965 on the Black & Silver Parlophone Records Label. Cat: PCSO3071. Matrix number: YEX 168 YAPAX 1005/ YEX 169 YAPAX1006.Every so often Timewarp is lucky enough to come across a special record collection. Over the following weeks I will be listing records from one such collection. Collected mostly during the 1960’s and 70’s this set of records have been well preserved and cared for some dating back to over 50 years old!! Our regular customers will be aware that if we do grade a record at Near Mint expect it to have only been played a handful of times at most and to sound superb. We hope you enjoy the records we will be offering as much as we have in presenting them to you.
Considering that Help! functions as the Beatles' fifth album and as the soundtrack to their second film while filming, they continued to release non-LP singles on a regular basis it's not entirely surprising that it still has some of the weariness of Beatles for Sale. Again, they pad the album with covers, but the Bakersfield bounce of "Act Naturally" adds new flavor (along with an ideal showcase for Ringo's amiable vocals) and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy" gives John an opportunity to flex his rock & roll muscle. George is writing again and if his two contributions don't touch Lennon and McCartney's originals, they hold their own against much of their British pop peers. Since Lennon wrote a third more songs than McCartney, it's easy to forgive a pair of minor numbers ("It's Only Love," "Tell Me What You See"), especially since they're overshadowed by four great songs. His Dylan infatuation holds strong, particularly on the plaintive "You've Got to Hide Your Love Away" and the title track, where the brash arrangement disguises Lennon's desperation. Driven by an indelible 12-string guitar, "Ticket to Ride" is another masterpiece and "You're Going to Lose That Girl" is the kind of song McCartney effortlessly tosses off which he does with the jaunty "The Night Before" and "Another Girl," two very fine tunes that simply update his melodic signature.
Tracks: Help!/ The night before/ You’ve got to hide your love away/ I need you/ Another girl/ You’re going to lose that girl/ Ticket to ride/ Act naturally/ It’s only love/ You like me too much/ Tell me what you see/ I’ve just seen a face/ Yesterday/ Dizzy miss Lizzy.
