Episode 254: ”Help!” at 60!

We take a break from all the news to look at an album that sometimes gets overlooked in the Beatles canon: 1965's Help! It's not just a movie, but a great listening experience as an album (the UK version, in particular). We talk about the album, all the songs, its lyrical themes, its place in the Beatles' output, and what it foreshadows for future albums. Enjoy!
