Help Yourself (Julian Lennon album)
Help Yourself is the fourth studio album by English singer-songwriter Julian Lennon, released in 1991 through Atlantic Records in the US and Virgin Records in the UK.
The album was a commercial success in Europe for Lennon, spawning a UK No. 6 hit "Saltwater" ; however, it did not do as well in the US, where Atlantic Records were said to have under-promoted the album.
The album was reissued, along with The Secret Value of Daydreaming and Mr. Jordan, on 8 September 2009 by Noble Rot Records.
