Beatles OZ Reissue LP Beatles for sale NM '82 Parlophone PCSO3062 Pop Rock
OZ Reissue LP released in 1982 on Parlophone Records. Cat: PCSO 3062. This album was originally part of the 14LP Blue Box set. This is from the 2nd edition edition which was released in 1982.
It was inevitable that the constant grind of touring, writing, promoting, and recording would grate on the Beatles, but the weariness of Beatles for Sale comes as something of a shock. 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," but the very presence of six covers after the triumphant all-original A Hard Day's Night feels like an admission of defeat or at least a regression. (It doesn't help that Lennon's cover of his beloved obscurity "Mr. Moonlight" winds up as arguably the worst thing the group ever recorded.) 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.
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.
There are a few light spindle marks on labels. Record and cover are in Near Mint condition.
