Does anyone know where I can download or listen to the James Bond Help Intro?

Thanks,

Mr. Kite!

Thanks for that.  There used to be a Beatles In Stereo website that used to have it available for download along with other differences between Stereo and Mono recordings but I can't find the site anymore.

There has to be a bootleg of it somewhere. PM Bobber about this.

I have it on the 62'-66' album and would have plopped down the cash for the double CD if it was included. Isnt that sad? That kind of cash for a 15 second intro. Oh well.

I only had the 1962-66 album for a couple of days when the Help Intro got scratched and it never played the same after that.  I was extremely dissapointed that the Intro wasn't on the cd when I bought it.

I checked first before buying it, but I was also bummed.

my familiarity with 'help' was through the red album as a child.
the james bond intro makes the song so much fun !
without the intro, 'help' experiences like a self-analysis therapy session - - with the intro it's like a madap cartoon car chase ! !  2ch ;yes

The intro was only on the American release, I believe. It's also available in the Capitol Albums box set version on CD, if you're willing to pay for that.

And "Help!" pretty much WAS a self-analysis therapy session. The Beatles had nothing to do with the creation of that intro, so far as I'm aware. The American version only had the music from the film, including the instrumental incidental music. This is what you get on The Capitol Albums. I believe A Hard Day's Night is the same way, also on the Capitol Albums set. I don't own the sets though, so I'm not sure.

I never knew that the James Bond intro was on the 1962-66 US LP version of Help !!!
I'm from the UK and I bought a copy of the US red and blue vinyl albums years ago, but I never listened to them, assuming the contents to be the same as my old UK copies.
That will teach me for assuming!  ;)

Yes, it's on the Capitol CD box set, Volume 2, mono and stereo.
