I'm a loser

I'm a loser
And I'm not what I appear to be

 

Although I laugh and I act like a clown
Beneath this mask I am wearing a frown
My tears are falling like rain from the sky
Is it for her or myself that I cry?

 

 

THIS LP IS IN GREAT, NEAR MINT CONDITION.

HARDLY PLAYED.

THE SLEEVE IS VERY GOOD, GATEFOLD

THE INNER SLEEVE IS V. GOOD BUT HAS SOME CREASES.

 

All these albums have been from the same collection, an estate sale of a wealthy couple who loved this period.

 

This is the fourth studio album by English Rock Band, The Beatles, released on 4 Dec 1964 in the UK, produced by George Martin for Parlophone, recorded at the EMI Studios, Abbey Road, London.

 

The album hit the UK number one spot and retained that position for 11 of the 46 weeks that it spent in the Top 20. It marked a minor turning point in the evolution of the Lennon–McCartney partnership, John Lennon particularly now showing interest in composing songs of a more autobiographical nature. “I'm a Loser” shows Lennon for the first time coming under the influence of Bob Dylan, whom he met in New York while on tour, on 28 August 1964.

 

I'm a Loser, by Lennon’s own admission, one of his very first personal songs, it has that incredible harmonica, John was so great at. This Bob Dylan influenced song is great because... John Lennon was definitely a better singer than Bob Dylan. Bob Dylan's a great songwriter of course, but Lennon is just amazing on the vocals in this song. Love the way he sings a lower note at the end of each line, e.g. "What have I done to deserve such a fate? I realise I have left it too "late". It's just a fantastic song.
