Helen was Shapiro's first EP and her fourth release overall, following three hit singles. The record was Shapiro's first in a predominantly jazz style, a genre with which she would become more closely associated from the 1970s onward.

The EP was released in both mono and stereo versions. The songs were orchestrated and conducted by Martin Slavin.

gollark: Also "you aren't using actual evidence" and "you're constantly shifting the goalposts" and "you're not even bothering to explain your claims and just expect people to infer them from random papers" and "you say stupidly vague things and cite papers for evidence because they sound vaguely related".
