Beatles For Sale
A testament to the abundance of perseverance and talent within the Beatles' ranks, their fourth album was recorded in and around a busy North American and British tour schedule.
Beatles For Sale also marked their last full-length release loaded with cover songs, as the Fab Four moved towards writing more of their own material.
Interspersed between Beatles classics such as Eight Days a Week and the Dylan-inspired I'm a Loser are faithful renditions of songs by Buddy Holly and Carl Perkins (featuring the only lead vocals by Ringo Starr and George Harrison on this album).
The frenetic, inspired take on Chuck Berry's Rock And Roll Music is only superseded by a tremendous medley of Kansas City and Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey, that finds Paul McCartney's exuberant vocals comparing admirably to his hero Little Richard.
