A Hard Day's Night is one of my all-time favorite movies. I never get tired of watching it! |

[quote="Geoff coles
Originally it was going to be called "Eight Arms To Hold You"....until John popped up with the title song....a number he could never seem to remember his own lyrics to - Listen to him go hoplessly wrong on it on the "Live" version on TV at the
"Blackpool Night Out" on 1 August 1965...now included on the "Anthology" album....which is tricky as Paul/George are singing "counter vocals" behind John....and they duly get it right !.....ah well.]I was at a K T Tunstall concert at the weekend and she forgot some of her own lyrics .It does happen .(She was amazing by the way).I have a very sentimental spot for Help because whilst watching You've gotta hide your Love away I fell in love with John and the other chaps.I was 8 yrs old,and cute (then,ah!) . |

Got my copy of Help yesterday, really love the bonus disc, Help has been restored to it's former glory, the colour is brilliant. Great interview with Richard Lester as well as cast and crew members.
Help is my favourite Beatles song. The Beatles had a real magic to them, no other group came close well maybe the Hollies. |

Lennon had said that during the filming of "A Hard Day's Night" the boys were drinking whiskey (also my drink in my 20s) and "Help!" was filmed while the boys were smoking pot a lot. |

I am watching the new Help dvd as we speak and I'm afraid myself and my daughter are screaming at the screen!!!!!!!!!!The picture restoration is superb,the colours and clarity both amazing. All's well until you listen to the Beatles singing.The music is great,crystal clear, but the vocals on the other hand are appalling .What bright spark thought that we would love to hear the Beatles singing as if they were trapped in a tin dustbin?That's precisely what they sound like.The vocals are both echoy and distant.I'm absolutely appalled.I can't believe that all this time and effort,money and expertise was spent and what have they done?Totally mucked it up .I'm going to go back to my old and trusted video version.At least the fellas sound like the Beatles on it.( By the way in one scene, when they are asking Ringo to give himself up, they say they know a good drummer in Manchester,a good looking fella!Does that sound like anyone we know?). |

err Don Rathbone Seriously I love help I recorded it when it was shown on BBC2 recently and the music sounded just fine. I was thinking of getting the dvd but now I'm not so sure I just really like their wit in this movie you can tell how much fun they were having at this time. I love them all during this time particularly my fave george and also the help soundtrack |

I love Help too and that's why I'm so disappointed with the mixes in the songs.As I said the restoration is great and the colours are fabulous but that soundtrack is galling .There is no balance between the music and those tinny,muffled vocals.The Beatles and their fans deserve better than this . |
