Produced by George Martin for EMI Records, the album (in its original British form) contains seven songs that appeared in the movie of the same name, and seven that did not, including the most recorded song in history; the Paul McCartney ballad "Yesterday".
Even without the presence of the legendary "Yesterday", many critics consider the album Help! to be worthy of high praise. The album features two trans-atlantic Number One singles: "Ticket to Ride" and the title song. The album shows The Beatles, but mainly John Lennon, being influenced by Bob Dylan and folk music. The title track reveals Lennon's confusion and cynicism hidden under a maze of rhythms; "It's Only Love" features another heart-tugging vocal by Lennon.
McCartney added "Yesterday", as well as "Another Girl"; a fast-moving congo-esque beat pop song; "The Night Before", a standard rock & roll song, and "I've Just Seen a Face", a rollicking Dylanesque folk song often overlooked by Beatles fans.
George Harrison contributed the low-key "I Need You" and the head-strong "You Like Me Too Much".

I created this fanlisting for Help! because I love the album; it was one of the first I ever owned by the Beatles. The name I Need You was chosen because it is one of my favorite songs from the album. As for the layout, I manipulated the cover of the album. Links to brushes and patterns used can be found here.
