Apple Corps Ltd have announced the eagerly anticipated DVD release of The Beatles' second feature film Help! on November 6th (November 5th ROW) marketed and distributed by EMI Music.
Directed by Richard Lester, who also directed the band's debut feature film 'A Hard Days Night', 'Help!' made its theatrical debut in 1965. The story follows The Beatles as they become passive recipients of an outside plot that revolves around Ringo's possession of a sacrificial ring, which he cannot remove from his finger. As a result, he and his bandmates John, Paul and George are chased from London to the Austrian Alps and the Bahamas by religious cult members, a mad scientist and the London police.
In addition to starring the Beatles, 'Help!' has a witty script, a great cast of British character actors and features 7 classic Beatles tracks, including:
' 'Help!'
' 'You're Going To Lose That Girl'
' 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away'
' 'Ticket To Ride'
' 'I Need You'
' 'The Night Before'
' 'Another Girl'
The DVD is a 2-disc set. Disc 1 features the original film digitally restored with a newly created 5.1 soundtrack, while Disc 2 contains an hour of extra features, including:
'The Beatles in Help! ' 30 minute documentary about the making of the film with Richard Lester, the cast and crew. Includes exclusive behind the scenes footage of The Beatles on set.
'A Missing Scene ' Featuring Wendy Richard
'The Restoration of Help! ' An in depth look at the restoration process.
'Memories of Help! ' The cast and crew reminisce
'Theatrical Trailers ' 2 US trailers and 1 Spanish trailer.
'1965 US Radio Spots - Hidden in disc menus.
There are 2 editions of the DVD - a standard digipack and a deluxe boxed set that will contain a reproduction of Richard Lester's original annotated script, 8 lobby cards and a poster, plus a 60-page book with rarely seen photographs and production notes from the movie. Both the deluxe book and the standard booklet feature an introduction by Richard Lester and an appreciation by Martin Scorsese.

"Our niche is not sticking to any particular niche," says Benji Lysaght, guitarist. The four members of the New York group refuse to be stuck in any sub-genre of rock.
