Radio news - Since last week, WMCA in New York

has been giving away tickets to see the Beatles at

Shea Stadium on the nighttime Gary Stevens show

(7p-11p). Listeners have to guess which Beatle is

going to “talk to them” next on WMCA. A random

continuous-loop tape of either John, Paul, George or

Ringo will be played and if you guess, you and a

friend are in Shea Stadium to see the Fab Four Sunday night! Check out

WMCA’s goodguy smile!

The Beatles' fifth UK album, Help! was released on this day as Parlophone PMC 1255 (mono) and PCS 3071 (stereo).

Following the structure of the previous year's A Hard Day's Night the previous year, the first side of Help! featured seven songs from The Beatles' second feature film. The flip side contained another seven songs - including Paul McCartney's instant classic Yesterday - recorded over the same period.
