The Help! album dropped the same day as the film.

The album is called Help! and it came out on August 6, 1965 in the UK — same day the film premiered. In the US it was a slightly different tracklist (standard Capitol meddling), but the core is the same.

It’s a soundtrack album, but only seven of the 14 UK tracks actually appear in the movie. The rest are non-film songs like “You’ve Got to Hide Your Love Away” and “Ticket to Ride.” Not their best work, but a solid snapshot of the mid-60s Beatles.
