Uncut: The Beatles’ most important album might not be the one you think it is
History has tended to pass over Help! and its accompanying film as minor works in the Beatles canon, almost a stop-gap between Beatlemania and the far more serious innovation to come on Rubber Soul and Revolver. But while the film’s reputation as a knockabout comic adventure has endured, it has also distracted from what was really happening. The Help! album, with its darkening themes, broadening horizons and stylistic diversions, marks the mould-breaking inception of the post-mania visionaries they would soon become. Far from being a transitional footnote, it is the record on which The Beatles began becoming the band that would define the rest of the decade and, as such, might well be the most important album of them all.
