Beatles For Sale - Special offer, 40% Off!

In the summer of 1964 The Beatles released A Hard Day's Night in the UK. Their first album to contain purely Lennon and McCartney compositions.

But by the Autumn of that year John, Paul, George and Ringo had now achieved global fame. Tours of Europe, Australia, New Zealand, North America, resulted in them having less and less time for song writing. Creativity and time in the studio was severally restricted, due to other commitments.

In this episode we take a deep dive into their fourth album, Beatles For Sale. And uncover why it is tale of two halves (or should that be two sides). The album includes some of their best song writing from the pre-Rubber Soul era. But it also includes too much filler. Plus as was now the norm, Capitol in America never released the album for another 23 years!
