Beatles For Sale Revisited

Additional input from Madeleine Abbott

[@justinainsworth8635]

It’s hated on far too much. It’s one of my absolute favorite pre-rubber soul records. Who cares about the number of cover songs, they do them well!

I agree.

I agree. Pre Rubber Soul this is the one.

[@lobbyboi4719]

So true. 'Words of Love' is one of my favorite early-beatles performances and its a cover. 'Beatles for Sale' is amazing! I even prefer it over "Help!"

Words of love is underatted, beautiful harmonies

[@jnagarya519]

@@craigwarner6156 Wow -- another two. So we 4 fans are impressed by their wonderful interpretation of "Words of Love".

Without question! The entire record is grossly underrated.

[@andrewmeyer3423]

Well said. Some of their best covers as well. Great sort of grey day album, and one of my favorites. The Get Back movie showed us to not pay too much attention to these traditional Beatle narratives, and I’m just gonna focus on the music, which is top notch here ❤

[@COBBETT1215]

Totally agree with you. Very underrated album. Always been one of my favourites, containing some of their finest early compositions. Its mood is more ambiguous and introspective than the earlier albums. Moving on from the glorious Merseybeat shout of "She Loves You" and "Hard Day's Night". The country/acoustic feel is apparent, and this would be developed on Help and more so on Rubber Soul. Lyrically I think it was their strongest album to date too. With some good stories to tell. Hard to pick my favourite tracks because there are so many good ones. But at a push I'd go for "No Reply", "Eight Days a week" and "I don't want to spoil the party".

[@ainsleyperry5192]

John, Some years ago, Mark Lewisohn was commenting on early Beatle L.P's. One of the L.P's he's grown more and more fond of over the years is "Beatles For Sale." Just listen to it it's brilliant. Cheers, Chris Perry

[@michaelgordon8763]

Thank you! I agree that Beatles for Sale is one of their best albums. I like how the first three songs have the acoustic guitar up front and appreciate the tone, tough sad. As you shared, the Beatles as a band at this point were a tight creative musical unit as they were playing so many gigs and it shows on this album. Every Little Thing continues to be in my top five Beatles songs...the harmonies, the introduction of a piano or drum riff at key moments to emphasize the feelings being shared. The chorus is so hopeful.

[@rdanielr93]

I’ll Follow the Sun is my favorite song of all time, so I’ll defend this album until my very last breath ❤️

[@PeKe999]

Hi,
Thanks to my neighbor I got into The Beatles. He asked me to listen to a record by The Beatles. It was in springtime in 1976, being 13 years old. The record he put on was Beatles For Sale. ....... "This happened once before" ...... and I was hooked and still am.
Beatles For Sale, for me, has a special place in their catalogue, thanks to my neighbor for letting me hear something else in a time when I was listening to glam and top 40 hits from that moment.

[@invoxicated]

One of my fave early albums. No Reply is #1 on that album for me. Such a suspenseful music arrangement. I actually lived this song. I love the resolve chords at the end.

[@coolasmud]

It's my early favourite aswell. Glad they finally released it in Stereo on CD too.

[@djtforever1414]

Every Little Thing is one of the best songs from this era.

[@paulaidenmusic]

I agree it gets very overlooked but it’s my dads favourite and I absolutely love it. “I’ll follow the Sun” is one of my favourite Beatles tracks ever!

[@trevordixon1427]

It's great.love Mr.moonlight...thanks...

[@jnagarya519]

"I Don't Want to Soil the Party" is remarkably adult: "I've had a drink or two and I don't care". Singing about drinking was not common in music for "teenagers".
"Baby's in Black" means mourning, not necessarily death. Great song -- and for those who don't like it: ask your parents what a "waltz" is.

[@johnaston3983]

Cover taken in Hyde Park, What your doing is a rare McCartney RIFF song, trying to write a single. No Reply originally written for Nems artist Tommy Quickly (he did Tip of my tongue)

[@andy10d]

Has anyone heard the live version of "Baby's in Black" from their brief Beatles For Sale tour of Germany at the end of 1965, just before they stopped touring for good? It was never one of my favorite early Beatles' songs. In fact, I might have said it was one of my least favorite Beatles' songs until I saw those live versions. John and Paul share a microphone and are just laughing through the whole song like they know a secret about the song they are not sharing with the rest of us. Even George is laughing hard at whatever the joke was, chipping in on the vocals, and delivering a killer, if only 12 second, solo. Like I said I was not previously a huge fan of the song, I was surprised I still remembered all the lyrics but I listened to all the available versions from this tour and it is such a joy to see them laughing and giving it their all on that song of all the songs they had written at the time. If you want to check it out, it will absolutely melt your heart. Thanks lads! There are a ton of good versions, but this is one of the best and most complete: ua-cam.com/video/xwuIHR_e4yI/v-deo.html

[@roygoad2870]

The Beatles film of Baby’s in Black is from June 24th 1966, there’s many You Tube versions with lots more details of this particular concert. As far as I know the Beatles never played in Germany in 1965, not until the summer of 1966. They only played in the U.K. in December of 1965!

[@disneyfamily5158]

7:40 Kansas City was recorded twice. It's not a one -take song. The other take is on Anthology. I love this album. Great work, as always John!

[@johnaston3983]

I think he meant the 1st take was used. Same as Twist and Shout.

[@rodneygriffin7666]

I can listen to any Beatles album and feel satisfied depending on my mood.
Each of their albums, including Yellow Submarine has a different feel to it.
So, when I put one on, each of them hit the right spot of what I'm feeling at the moment.
I Love The Beatles!

HI JOHN GREAT REVIEW ON THE BEATLES FOR SALE VINYL. IT IS A FANTASTIC ALBUM. LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT REVIEW. TAKE CARE.

[@davecostello560]

About the third Beatles album I bought. It will always have a place in my heart. I love the cover photos, surely this album and not Pepper was the first gatefold sleeve, and so many overlooked great tunes! Well produced too. No Reply and Eight Days a Week could have been number ones if released as singles. The way I'll Follow the Sun was used on Anthology (their first time in Miami and being welcomed properly by the USA) was so well matched.

[@anthonymunn8633]

I agree on Eight Days a Week.Here in the states it did indeed top the charts as a single.

[@jnagarya519]

We can add John Heatan as a fan of their cover of "Words of Love". So there are 5 of us.

[@marathon8954]

[@euanthorburn8135]

Thanks John

[@k364k364]

"I Feel Fine" and "She's a Woman" were recorded in the same sessions but not on the album. If they were, and replaced two of the covers, BFS would be considered the strongest of the early albums. Anyway as it is it's a very interesting and enjoyable album, perhaps more so than AHDN just because of the variety.

[@70PaulK]

[@matthewturnage4998]

Hi, John. While this album would not make the top half of my Beatles rankings, I think it is historically underrated. I think part of the reason is that they followed the all-original A Hard Day's Night with an album that had six covers, which in some ways might seem like a step backward, especially for later generations who might not be aware of the circumstances of recording the album. But as you say, it has some of their best covers, particularly Words of Love IMO. John's songwriting definitely shows a step forward with songs like No Reply and I'm a Loser. Thanks for another excellent review.

[@jnagarya519]

Only one other fan gives special attention to their cover of "Words of Love". I am that other fan. Apparently all the others are whining that the LP is in mono, which they hate, so don't actually LISTEN to it.

[@PeKe999]

@Matthew: it is a very underrated album.

[@jnagarya519]

When one considers how much they did during 1964 -- from Paris to Ed Sullivan and America, then making "A Hard Day's Night" and writing all those 14 songs, then touring, it is amazing how with "Beatles for Sale" they sat in the studio as opportunity to RELAX, and it shows. Nothing on the LP is rushed or out-of-breath. And their extraordinarily affectionate cover of Boddy Holly's "Words of Love" is breathtakingly tender.

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

Their Words of Love You is my favorite cover.

[@jnagarya519]

@@rudolphguarnacci197 So we're up to 6 fans who take especial note of that wonderful cover.

[@rudolphguarnacci197]

@@jnagarya519
It's crazy to think that this album is not one of their best, i.e., a typical, excellent album. I didn't even know what a "cover" was when i first heard these. I just liked 99% of their songs. Nobody (at least that i'm aware of) could harmonize like John and Paul, whatever the reasons for that.

[@jnagarya519]

@@rudolphguarnacci197 Agreed. And if one considers how insanely consequential that year -- Paris, United States, film "A Hard Day's Night," AND the 14 songs for that LP, then more touring -- and yet this LP is relaxed and warm.
And it shows both where they came from -- the covers -- and where they were in the moment. And what came next? -- "Rubber Soul".
That it is relaxed, and warm, and done as well as any of their LPs, are reasons it is in my top three favorites (with "The Beatles" [aka "White" LP] and "Rubber Soul".
It is later generation "fans" who discount and disparage this album because they don't know the history. And the current practice is to listen to a track here or there from who-knows-what LP/context.
Most of the later generations who've heard "The Beatles" have heard at most the half-dozen songs -- untethered from history and context -- that one would likely hear on "Classic Rock" radio stations.
How many would actually sit down and listen to an entire album, start to finish?
And also as essential listen -- the history -- are the live BBC recordings: those show where they came from, and are splendid performances.

[@prettyshinyspaghetti8332]

I was very surprised while watching Get Back, where George remembers "Every Little Thing" as being "a good one" and then proceeds to play it (in the key of D rather than A, interestingly). Never would have thought that one would've stuck with him, though I do admit its a sweet kinda cute song with a great riff

[@davecostello560]

Yes! That was such a surprise. But he couldn't remember the chords properly, which was an even bigger surprise!

[@benedictweisser3086]

"Underrated" and "less than..." are relative terms when we are discussing a group that represents the pop music equivalent of Shakespeare. Every original album of theirs (save probably the Yellow Submarine soundtrack) is five stars. This album finds them at the start of a transition, where they evolve from "Beatlemania" into the maturity of Rubber Soul. But it's still fantastic and also fascinating for that reason.

[@Wayner71]

I've always liked this album. Its an important transition album and is almost Beatlemania with Baroque elements. The Lennon/McCartney originals stand out. And I even like "Mr Moonlight" as I perceive it as a satirical piece. The only track I don't particularly like is the cover "Kansas City"/"Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey". Cheers John.

[@jnagarya519]

This is one of my two most favorites because it shows both where they'd been, and where they were at that point. And next was the light-years beyond "Rubber Soul". (My two most favorite are "Beatles for Sale" and "The Beatles" (aka "White" LP). Or "Rubber Soul" and "The Beatles" (ibid).

[@onsenkuma1979]

I've always had a soft spot for this among the earlier albums, possibly because I regard 'No Reply' in particular so highly. I'm old enough to remember hearing 'Eight Days a Week' when it was released as a single (here in North America, where much of the album was released as 'Beatles '65' - without that iconic cover), and it was the first single they put out that had me from first time I heard it. On the whole the album is a bit uneven in places (I don't think I'll ever grow to love 'Mr. Moonlight') but hey, cohesive albums weren't really a thing at that time in pop.

[@TheDunc1]

I used side one of this album and that of Please Please Me as my induction to be a Beatles fan in late 1972 when I was 9. I was put off the album because of their miserable faces, so I did not play it immediately. I always think George's fabulous guitar work saves the day on Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby. That song plus Kansas City and Rock N Roll Music were recorded in one take. Flipping Heck. Did they not also recorded I Feel Fine and She's A Woman.on the same sessions? Eight Days A Week was another smash number 1 in the U.S.A. An E.P. in the U.K. No one ever mentions the montage they are standing in front of in the inner sleeve. I would love to know who the people are behind them. Can anyone please help, no pun intended. John, a great appraisal of a fine album. Happy New Year Sir.

Nice review John!! Shame on the management for booking so many tours!! If they had been given 2 or 3 more weeks to write & record this would have been a monster album. Having said that, I love the album anyway. I like the advancement in their lyrics as well as the musical arrangements. I think as a package, their originals are better than those on the previous album. True, one or 2 of the covers let it down - but this is more than made up by most of the originals. If "Leave My Kitten Alone", "She's A Woman" & "I Feel Fine" had been included at the expense of 3 weaker tracks - well that would've changed peoples views.

Lastly, would the photo with them against collage of people on the inner cover be a possible influence for Sgt Pepper?

[@arminreuter5151]

I think the main problem is that it is an uneven listen as a whole after the smooth AHDN. Eight Days A Week is not a very strong composition. It would have been on previous albums, but it misses the depth of let's say I'm A Loser by lengths. 1964 was Lennon's year. As for AHDN this wasn't much of a problem, because McCartney's songs were immensely strong, but on BFS his lack of material was quite obvious and contributed along with the covers to the unevenness. Just by adding I'm Down one could have saved it, yet it was wasted on a single. But was it a bad album? I agree with you, despite all the criticism, it the still an enjoyable album of a band sounding just fine with no weak Lennon composition.

"on BFS [Paul's] lack of material was quite obvious" I've often read that BFS was dominated by John's songs, and I understand that impression, but I think it's largely because John is vocally more present in the mix, not only on his own songs but also on the co-sung and co-written numbers and even on one of Paul's.
The primary composition credits look like this:
"No Reply" - Lennon
"I'm a Loser" - Lennon
"Baby's in Black" - 50/50 co-write, Lennon/McCartney
"I'll Follow the Sun" - McCartney
"Eight Days a Week" - 50/50 co-write, Lennon/McCartney
"Every Little Thing" - McCartney
"I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" - Lennon
"What You're Doing" - McCartney
So in fact they each contributed the same: 3 songs as primary writer and 2 as co-writer.
