Beatles For Sale (1964) – An Underrated Beatles Album
Beatles For Sale is a frequently dismissed Beatles album. I think that is a true shame because while it’s definitely not among The Beatles greatest work, it does have some good qualities and I do think it’s worth taking a good listen to.
Particularly I think the eight original Lennon and McCartney songs on the album are very good (even if not quite as excellent as the original songs on A Hard Day’s Night and Help!) What really stands out about these songs is that they have a certain connected feeling to them. I think these songs would work fantastically as an EP. In fact, I normally just skip all of the covers so that I listen to the album as if it were an 8 song EP.
The album really starts off great with John Lennon’s “No Reply,” “I’m A Loser,” & “Baby’s In Black.” These are three great tunes and all of them have this dark mood that connects the tracks together in a cohesive fashion.
I am not a huge fan of the covers on the album, unfortunately. Even more sadly is that the not so great covers make up almost half of the record (six of the fourteen songs are cover songs.) The sole covers that I have any patience for are “Words of Love” and “Rock and Roll Music” However even those two are not nearly as good as The Beatles originals.
The most famous of those Beatles originals on the record is “Eight Days A Week” which is a track that both John and Paul said negative things about (they wrote it together) and they never played it live. But despite that, it is a good tune. No, it isn’t among their greatest songs, however it’s catchy and the fade-in opening is really cool.
All of the songs on this album (covers and originals) sound far better on the new remastered discs than they did on the old 1980s CDs. I highly recommend that you purchase The Beatles Stereo CD Box Set and The Beatles Mono Box Set and give both the mono and stereo versions of the album a thorough listen before you go about your life.
I am not saying that the remastered version of Beatles For Sale is destined to be your new favorite Beatles album, but I do believe you’ll find that is far better than it’s reputation says it is. In my opinion it’s much better than With The Beatles.
