COMMENTS
|
Help! is an instrumental album by George Martin and His Orchestra, following Off The Beatle Track. It contains arrangements of eleven songs from The Beatles' Help! album and Martin's own composition, "Bahama Sound". This U.K. stereo edition is believed to have been released in November 1965 on Columbia as part of EMI's Studio 2 Stereo series. Studio 2 Stereo was a record series introduced by EMI in 1965, initially under its Columbia label. The series was distributed in Canada by Capitol Records. The series featured 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. |
