Editing Help! (section)

==Compact disc release==
There have been four CD releases of ''Help!''. The first was on 30 April 1987, using the 14-song UK track line-up. Having been available only as an import in the US in the past, the original 14-track UK version replaced the original US version with its release on LP and cassette as well on 21 July 1987. As with the CD release of the 1965 ''[[Rubber Soul]]'' album, the ''Help!'' CD featured a contemporary stereo digital remix of the album prepared by Martin in 1986. Martin had expressed concern to EMI over the original 1965 stereo mix, claiming it sounded "very woolly, and not at all what I thought should be a good issue". Martin went back to the original four-track tapes and remixed them for stereo.{{sfn|Kozinn|1987}} One of the most notable changes is the echo added to "Dizzy Miss Lizzy", something that was not evident on the original mix of the LP.

When the album was originally released on CD in Canada, pressings were imported from other countries, and used the 1987 remix. However, when the Disque Améric and Cinram plants in Canada started pressing the album, the original 1965 stereo mix was used by mistake. This was the only source for the 1965 stereo mix in its entirety until the release of the [[The Beatles in Mono|mono box set]] in 2009.<ref name="disqueamericpressing">{{cite web |url=http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/rubber-soul-cd-canadian-pressing-featuring-original-uk-mixes.77582/page-3 |title=Rubber Soul CD – Canadian Pressing Featuring Original UK Mixes? |publisher=Steve Hoffman Music Forums |date=9 April 2006 |access-date=17 January 2014 |archive-date=19 January 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170119180102/http://forums.stevehoffman.tv/threads/rubber-soul-cd-canadian-pressing-featuring-original-uk-mixes.77582/page-3 |url-status=live }}</ref>

The 2009 remastered [[The Beatles Stereo Box Set|stereo CD]] was released on 9 September. It was "created from the original stereo digital master tapes from Martin's CD mixes made in 1986".{{sfn|Apple Records|2009}} The original 1965 stereo mix was included as a bonus on the mono CD contained in ''[[The Beatles in Mono]]'' boxed set.

The 1965 stereo mix was reissued again on the ''Help!'' CD contained in the Beatles collection ''[[The Japan Box]]'' released in 2014.
