'65 The BEATLES Help! Motion Picture Soundtrack Capitol Records Vinyl T-2047

Help! is the fifth studio album by English rock band The Beatles. It was first released on 6 August 1965 in the United Kingdom by Parlophone and on 13 August in the United States by Capitol Records. Produced by George Martin, it serves as a soundtrack to the film of the same name and contains fourteen songs in its original British release. Seven of these, including the singles "Help!" and "Ticket to Ride", appeared in the film and occupy the first side of the vinyl release; the second side contained seven other songs, including the wildly popular cover song "Yesterday". The album's cover artwork shows the band spelling out letters in flag semaphore; Robert Freeman, the photographer, said he originally intended to have them spell out the album title, but decided to choose the "best graphic positioning of the arms", where they instead spell out the letters "NUJV".
