Beatles for saleRare New Zealand Export LP for Australia released in 1967 on the Yellow & Black Parlophone Records label. Cat: PMCO1240. This album is in MONO. Features unique OZ only cover art.
Only five months before, the group released the joyous A Hard Day's Night. Now, they sound beaten, worn, and, in Lennon's case, bitter and self-loathing. His opening trilogy ("No Reply," "I'm a Loser," "Baby's in Black") is the darkest sequence on any Beatles record, setting the tone for the album. Moments of joy pop up now and again, mainly in the forms of covers and the dynamic "Eight Days a Week,". Beneath those surface suspicions, however, there are some important changes on Beatles for Sale, most notably Lennon's discovery of Bob Dylan and folk-rock. The opening three songs, along with "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party," are implicitly confessional and all quite bleak, which is a new development. This spirit winds up overshadowing McCartney's cheery "I'll Follow the Sun" or the thundering covers of "Rock & Roll Music," "Honey Don't," and "Kansas City/Hey-Hey-Hey-Hey!," and the weariness creeps up in unexpected places "Every Little Thing," "What You're Doing," even George's cover of Carl Perkins' "Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby" leaving the impression that Beatlemania may have been fun but now the group is exhausted. That exhaustion results in the group's most uneven album, but its best moments find them moving from Merseybeat to the sophisticated pop/rock they developed in mid-career.
Tracks: No reply/ I’m a loser/ baby’s in black/ Rock and roll music/ I’ll follow the sun/ Mr. Moonlight/ Kansas city/ Eight days a week/ Words of love/ Honey don’t/ Every little thing/ I don’t want to spoil the party/ What you’re doing/ Everybody’s trying to be my baby.
