COMMENTS
Help! is a 1965 album by the George Martin Orchestra, the second of a series of albums by Martin featuring instrumental arrangements of Beatle songs. This release focused on songs from their album Help!. Unlike his other albums, the UK issue is not on Martin's Parlophone label, but on EMI's sister Columbia Graphophone's Studio 2 Stereo series label.

Studio 2 Stereo Records is an audiophile label founded by EMI in 1965, which was first operated under EMI's Columbia label. The label was distributed in Canada by Capitol Records.
The label issued easy listening and light classical music. In 1973, the Columbia imprint was replaced by the EMI Records imprint on Studio 2 Stereo releases.

The Columbia Graphophone Company Limited (Columbia Graphophone Co. Ltd.) was one of the earliest gramophone companies in the United Kingdom. As Columbia Records, it became a successful label in the 1950s and 1960s, but was eventually replaced by the newly created EMI Records, as part of an EMI label consolidation. This in turn was absorbed by the Parlophone Records unit of Warner Music Group in 2013.
