BEATLES
Regular price

Sold out
Beatles For Sale was released in the U.K. in December 1964. Beatles '65, its U.S. counterpart, did not include "Eight Days a Week." The song was released as a single in the U.S. two months later, and it went to No. 1.
Beatles For Sale was the last Beatles record to feature traces of the band's early rock and roll influences. Beatles For Sale also functions as a harbinger of what was to come, as John Lennon's songwriting reflects his embrace of Bob Dylan's folk rock. There's also a distinctive change in moods. The record opens with a trio of darker-flavored material, "No Reply," "I'm a Loser," and "Baby's In Black" much more despairing than anything the quartet had previously attempted.
For its Beatles' Stereo Albums series on LP, Capitol/Apple turned to a crack team of engineers to remaster Beatles For Sale from the original sources. The team, including Guy Massey, Steve Rooke and Sam Okell with Paul Hicks and Sean Magee undertook a four-year restoration process for the LP versions, combining state-of-the-art equipment, vintage studio gear and rigorous testing to meet the highest fidelity standards and produce authentic unsurpassed sound rivaling the original LPs. There is no longer any need to pay hundreds of dollars for Japanese pressings!
Recorded only four months after A Hard Day's Night, the effort involves much of the same repeat echo techniques yet also adds a few new wrinkles. "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" and "Rock and Roll Music" are enhanced with extra slap-back echo to pay homage to band's early influences. This pressing opens up the previous veil, allowing the effects to be more prevalent and detailed than ever before.
