Beatles for Sale
is the fourth
studio album
by the
English
rock band
It was released on
December, 4th 1964
in the
United Kingdom
on EMI's
Parlophone label.
The album marked a
departure from the
upbeat tone
that had characterized
the Beatles'
previous work,
partly due to the
band's exhaustion
after a series of tours
that had established them
as a worldwide phenomenon
in 1964.
Beatles for Sale
was not
widely available
in the US
until 1987,
when the Beatles'
catalogue was standardized
for release on CD.
Instead,
eight of the album's
fourteen tracks
tracks appeared on
Capitol Records'
concurrent release,
Beatles '65,
issued in
North America only.
The sessions for
Beatles for Sale
also produced a
non-album single,
"I Feel Fine"
backed by
"She's a Woman"
as the B-side.
During the sessions,
the band ventured into
studio experimentation,
such as employing a
fade-in and
incorporating
guitar feedback,
and supplemented
the basic recordings
with percussion instruments
such as timpani,
African hand drums,
and chocolo.
The album reflects
the twin influences
of country music
and Bob Dylan,
whom
the Beatles met
in New York
in August 1964.
Partly as a result
of the group's
hectic schedule,
only eight of the tracks
are
original compositions,
with cover versions
of songs by artists
such as
Carl Perkins,
Chuck Berry,
Buddy Holly
and
Little Richard
being used to
complete the album.
The original songs
introduced
darker musical moods
and more
introspective lyrics,
with
John Lennon
adopting an
autobiographical perspective
in
"I'm a Loser"
and
"No Reply".
Furthermore,
the majority of the songs
did not feature
themes of love,
with only three
out of the
fourteen tracks
mentioning love
in a positive light.
Beatles for Sale
received favorable reviews
in the
UK musical press,
where it held
the number one spot
for 11 of
the 46 weeks
that it spent
in the top 20.
The album was
similarly successful
in Australia,
where the band's cover
of Berry's
"Rock and Roll Music"
also topped the
singles chart.
One of the songs
omitted from the
US version
of the album,
"Eight Days a Week",
became the Beatles'
seventh number one
in the US
when issued as
a single there
in February 1965.
In 2000,
the album was
voted number 204
in the third edition
of Colin Larkin's
book All Time
Top 1000 Albums.
