Released in the summer of 1965, Help! found The Beatles at a crossroads – caught between the screaming insanity of Beatlemania and the serious, studio-bound artists they were rapidly becoming.
Ostensibly the soundtrack to their second feature film (don't bother, it hasn't aged well), The Beatles' least amazing album was the closest they came to treading water, with two tracks – Tell Me What You See and Another Girl – offering little more than pretty replicas of what had gone before. And this from a band that had previously refused to stand still.
