Just wrote a review for the album “Help !” to follow my 1st album review for “The Beatles.” 

https://docs.google.com/docume…..sp=sharing

Hope you enjoy revisiting the album with me, and please comment on what you agree and disagree with!

Agree with a lot of what you said (background vocals are what the Beatles are known for, after all…), but my one major disagreeance with your review: swap Yesterday and Dizzy Miss Lizzy . Yes, DML is repetitive, but you can sure hear their energy, so I don’t mind quite as much. 

Anyway, I’m surprised at how many songs we agree on, as there’s only been a few I’d change by more than 3 or 4 points so far.

@The Hole Got Fixed Dizzy Miss Lizzy does have energy, yes, but that can’t help the song that much when I overall just don’t enjoy it.

DML isn’t as good as She Loves You or Twist And Shout , but indeed, I love the energy they bring. John really knew how to belt out a song with feeling.

No and yes. No, in that the Beatles never recorded or planned on recording a canon German version of “Help !” (if that’s what you are, indeed, asking), but yes in that “Hilf!” is an unofficial German cover of “Help !” performed and released by the Beatles Revival Band.

No. The Beatles never recorded “Hilf!” to my, or anyone else’s, knowledge.
