Beatles for Sale (along with Let it Be) is one of those Beatles records that Beatles fans love to hate while paradoxically still acclaiming it as a great record (The Beatles are on of the few acts that can get this kind of reaction from people). Beatles for Sale shows the band exploring new lyrical territory thanks to the influence of Bob Dylan and the marijuana he introduced them to plus their own fatigue with a year and half's worth of near constant touring and performing and two straight years of immensely prolific recording, resulting in four legendary, groundbreaking albums and roughly a dozen classic stand alone singles. Naturally, this fatigue would show up in their music and it appears in several of the albums original songs such as No Reply, I'm a Loser, Baby's in Black, and I Don't Want to Spoil the Party and it even appears in few of their cover selections such both Carl Perkins covers Honey Don't (which sounds more like Elvis Presley than Carl Perkins) and Everybody's Trying to Be My Baby (which sounds more like Roy Orbison than Carl Perkins). Despite this, the album still manages to continue the fun of their previous albums, mostly in their cover selections such as Chuck Berry's Rock and Roll Music (as fantastically fun and wild as Chuck Berry's original), Little Richard's medley of Kansas City and his song Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey known as Kansas City/Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey and in their original Eight Days a Week while the ballad I'll Follow the Sun, is one of the albums few originals that is not angry, irritated, sad, fatigued or frustrated and is instead quite hopeful and optimistic. Beatles for Sale is underrated and often times divisive because of it's admittedly rather bi-polar/schizophrenic feel, but it's still remarkably consistent. If Beatles for Sale is one of their worst albums, then it's also one of their worst masterpieces because like it's predecessors, With the Beatles and A Hard Day's Night, it's a masterpiece.

·                               CONDITION:

·                               THE RECORD

(IMPORTANT NOTE: unless otherwise noted, ALL records are graded visually, and NOT play-graded!; we  grade records under the strong, diffuse room light or discrete sunlight)

(a)          THE ALBUM IS STILL FACTORY SEALED AND IS BELIEVED TO BE PERFECTLY MINT. Please note: sealed items are assumed to be mint and are sold as-is, as we have no way of inspecting them. For our policy on still sealed records ►click here (PLEASE READ BEFORE PLACING A BID).

(b)          The record is believed to comes in the original “Made in Great Britain” stock inner sleeve.

(c)           The record is  apparently pressed on a beautiful, thick, inflexible vinyl, which was usually used for the first or very early pressings. Usually, the sound on such thick vinyl pressings is full-bodied, vivid, and even dramatic. Do not expect to obtain such a majestic analog sound from a digital recording!

(d)          Of course, this is a full-bodied ANALOG recording, and not an inferior, digital recording!!!

-        Cover has one corner slightly dinged (nothing significant)
