The Beatles’ eighth US album released by Capitol Records, Help!, was issued on this day as MAS-2386 (mono) and SMAS-2386 (stereo).
Unlike the UK version, which featured songs from the Help! film on the first side, and seven further tracks on the other, Capitol included a number of selections from Ken Thorne’s orchestral score, performed by the George Martin Orchestra.
This version – which also includes the ‘James Bond’ introduction to the title track, was reissued on the Capitol Albums Vol. 2 and The US Albums box sets.
