Notes


Help (Optimal Source Series)


Another in the continuing Optimal Source Series. I'm putting together albums from the best available existing sources. All of the albums in this series will be from multiple sources. These are mostly remastered sources, but some are remixed. For remixes, I've stayed away from remixes that are significantly different than original mixes. Usually the only difference is the stereo placement. At this point I'm not planning on issuing Abbey Road or Sgt Peppers. That's because the entire Toshiba Black Triangle CD is the best source for Abbey Road, and the Ebbetts Blue Box is the best for Sgt Peppers.

"Help" contains a combination of songs from the US Help CD, US Rubber Soul CD, Beatles IV CD, Red Album CD, as well as individual tracks off of Love and the original EMI issue (1987 remix). Purists may be very happy with this one, as MOST of these songs are the original 1965 mixes...not the '87 remixes, and they're remastered to sound better than the Disque Americ release of Help.

I was hoping to include the mono version of Help off the US Help CD as a Bonus track until I realized it is actually a fold-down of the stereo version!! Oh well.

Here is the lineup:

1. Help (Love)
2. Night before (US Help)
3. You've got to hide your love away (US Help)
4. I need you (US Help)
5. Another girl (US Help)
6. You're going to lose that girl (US Help)
7. Ticket to ride (Red Album)
8. Act naturally (EMI)
9. It's only love (US Rubber Soul)
10. You like me too much (Beatles IV)
11. Tell me what you see (Beatles IV)
12. I've just seen a face (US Rubber Soul)
13. Yesterday (Red Album)
14. Dizzy Miss Lizzy (Beatles IV)
