Canadian Help LP... Help?! | Fab Forum | The Beatles Bible

Thanks Skye.

As I mentioned in the Help ! article, you can get those tracks on the Capitol Albums Vol 2 box set, or on the old vinyl. The box set is worth a purchase if you see it, though I don’t know if they make them any more. All the Capitol albums contained a range of different mixes from those on the UK versions, so it’s interesting to hear the differences.

I didn’t write about the Ken Thorne compositions in the /songs/ section because they weren’t core Beatles songs (some are based on Lennon-McCartney compositions), although I probably should for the sake of completion. I’ll probably put up a sample of the James Bond intro to Help ! – under UK law we’re allowed to stream up to 30 seconds of any song online without paying for rights clearance, so if I get time I’ll clip it and add it to the relevant pages. It’s interesting to hear.

I need to do more international discographies. I have all the raw data for loads of countries, but it’s exceptionally boring formatting it all, and adding cover artwork where I can find it. The results look good though.
