The North American version, the band's eighth [[Capitol Records]] album and tenth overall, includes the songs in the film plus selections from the film's orchestral score composed and conducted by [[Ken Thorne]], which contains one of the first uses of the Indian [[sitar]] on a rock/pop album, and its very first use on a Beatles record. "Ticket to Ride" is the only song on the American release in [[Duophonic]] stereo (also known as "fake stereo") reprocessed from the mono mix. Likewise, the mono version of the album uses a folded-down stereo mix of "Help!" instead of the true mono version used on the single, which features a different vocal track. ''Help!'' is available on CD as part of ''[[The Capitol Albums, Volume 2]]'' box set. This CD contains both the stereo and mono fold-down versions as heard on the American LP release. A second CD release of this album, which contains the seven songs in true mono mixes, was issued in 2014 individually and as part of the Beatles' ''[[The U.S. Albums]]'' box set.

All of the non-film tracks from side two of the Parlophone album were spread out through three American albums. Three were already issued on the previously released ''Beatles VI'': "You Like Me Too Much", "Tell Me What You See" and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy". "I've Just Seen A Face" and "It's Only Love" were placed on the Capitol ''Rubber Soul'', with its follow-up album ''Yesterday and Today'' receiving the remaining two tracks: "Yesterday" and "Act Naturally".

The American version of ''Help!'' reached the number one spot on the ''Billboard'' Top LPs chart for nine weeks starting on 11 September 1965.
