<P> According to Gould, Beatles for Sale, the Beatles' fourth studio LP, evidenced a growing conflict between the commercial pressures of their global success and their creative ambitions . They had intended the album, recorded between August and October 1964, to continue the format established by A Hard Day's Night which, unlike their first two LPs, contained only original songs . They had nearly exhausted their backlog of songs on the previous album, however, and given the challenges constant international touring posed to their songwriting efforts, Lennon admitted, "Material's becoming a hell of a problem". As a result, six covers from their extensive repertoire were chosen to complete the album . Released in early December, its eight original compositions stood out, demonstrating the growing maturity of the Lennon--McCartney songwriting partnership . </P> <P> In early 1965, following a dinner with Lennon, Harrison and their wives, Harrison's dentist John Riley secretly added LSD to their coffee . Lennon described the experience: "It was just terrifying, but it was fantastic . I was pretty stunned for a month or two ." He and Harrison subsequently became regular users of the drug, joined by Starr on at least one occasion . McCartney was initially reluctant to try it, but eventually did so in late 1966 . He became the first Beatle to discuss LSD publicly, declaring in a magazine interview that "it opened my eyes" and "made me a better, more honest, more tolerant member of society". </P> <P> Controversy erupted in June 1965 when Queen Elizabeth II appointed all four Beatles Members of the Order of the British Empire (MBE) after Prime Minister Harold Wilson nominated them for the award . In protest--the honour was at that time primarily bestowed upon military veterans and civic leaders--some conservative MBE recipients returned their own insignia . </P> <P> Released in July, the Beatles' second film, Help!, was again directed by Lester . Described as "mainly a relentless spoof of Bond", it inspired a mixed response among both reviewers and the band . McCartney said: "Help! was great but it wasn't our film--we were sort of guest stars . It was fun, but basically, as an idea for a film, it was a bit wrong ." The soundtrack was dominated by Lennon, who wrote and sang lead on most of its songs, including the two singles: "Help!" and "Ticket to Ride". The accompanying Help! album, the group's fifth studio LP, mirrored A Hard Day's Night by featuring soundtrack songs on side one and additional songs from the same sessions on side two . The LP contained all original material save for two covers, "Act Naturally" and "Dizzy Miss Lizzy"; they were the last covers the band would include on an album, with the exception of Let It Be's brief rendition of the traditional Liverpool folk song "Maggie Mae". The band expanded their use of vocal overdubs on Help! and incorporated classical instruments into some arrangements, including a string quartet on the pop ballad "Yesterday". Composed by and sung by McCartney--none of the other Beatles perform on the recording--"Yesterday" inspired the most cover versions of any song ever written . </P>
