THE BEATLES HELP!
this is the Beatles' best album, the songs positively glow. They glow with sheer optimism and boundless possibilities. HELP! is the Beatles great leap forward, they have accepted their genius and have begun to set it free. It is a record when, for the first time, the band are not writing just to please the crowd; they are expecting the crowd to keep up. Despite its title song, this is the most confident and optimistic pop LP ever made, full of charm, grace and boundless fun, with every song after effortless song tumbling out completely fresh and accessible from the first listen. The band never made - nobody ever made - a better side one. The one with Its Only Love, You've Got To Hide Your Love Away, The Night Before, You Like Me Too Much, I've Just Seen A Face, Another Girl, and Ticket To Ride. Oh and Yesterday. and Help! Incredibly though, if it is possible to overlook a Beatles album, HELP! seems to be the one. But this thrilling record is the tipping point of the 1960s, the sound of victory, the noise of Lennon & McCartney embracing the ease with which they can create something new. It is the fantastic result of the group's universal gift. Start here for the pop that would be heard around the world.
