George Martin & His Orchestra - Help! (CD)

Help! Was released the following year in 1965 and was the second release in the series. Featuring instrumental arrangements of Beatles songs, this reissue is true to the original UK release. The original US release track listing omitting "Bahama Sound" and used some of the tracks working titles "Auntie Gin's Theme" (I've Just Seen a Face), "That's A Nice Hat" (It's Only Love) and "Scrambled Egg" (Yesterday). The record came at a time when orchestral music had begun to embrace the sound of beat music - something it had initially dismissed as a 'noisy' genre, dismissing it's integrity entirely. As Beatlemania grabbed hold of the world in the early 60s, and with respected 'high-brow' newspapers such as The Times of London giving serious analysis of Lennon and McCartney's song writing, attitudes began to shift. Overseen by Sir George Martin's son Giles, Help! #has been faithfully remastered from the original master tapes, replicating the original release. It is available on vinyl for the first time in decades, on CD in the U.K. for the first time ever, and globally available on streaming platforms for the first time. George Martin and his orchestra reinterpret music associated with the Beatles era, showcasing the elegant arranging touch of the producer whose studio work helped shape the group's recordings.
