HELP!

One of the most craziest films I've ever saw (thank you father, for keeping VHS of it for my more adult age, so I could fully appreciate it). There it makes me say: no, of course this will not be track-to-track review. If talking about music, then this is some kind of transition from pop-rock beginnings (maybe rock'n'roll) to more mature state of mind (Abbey Road). But for 14 tracks, length is still very short, no space to maneuvers, even some songs are trying to be more progressive.

The movie itself is, as I said, very good example of British humour. It reminds me Monty Python in some way, nonsense way of doing things. But there's a story about Ringo's bloody red ring which some crazy sect fanatics are trying to steal. Because they're The Beatles, then music corresponds to movie perfectly. Is playful ("Another Girl", Paul McCartney holding girl as it was a guitar, scratching strings, or ... well, those things). When I was little child, in elementary school, we used to sing during musical education lessons. One of songs was "Yesterday" (from hymn-books), quite well known song, nice one also. In Help!, Richard S. is of course the weird looking Beatle (did somebody mention his nose?), Paul was this with eyes (and eyebrows) and others for sure funny in something, They

As I said once (or twice, maybe even three times), it's listenable album, but not prog. "Act Naturally" is country song ? Or at least sounds like one. There are also clearly to hear (not hear, because as movie, it's fantastic) traits of prog, but not yet completed. But as we all know, they will improve their style very soon, in matter of years.

Three stars, but here we're talking about pop prog. But they were (for f sake) pioneers of more things that I can remember. What band do what they have done, in evolving style, they released maybe 6 pop prog albums (r'n'r) and then turned to prog.
