Album Notes
The Beatles: John Lennon (vocals, guitar, piano); George Harrison
(vocals, guitar, African drum); Paul McCartney (vocals, piano,
Hammond organ, bass); Ringo Starr (vocals, drums, timpani,
percussion). Additional personnel: George Martin (piano). Includes
liner notes by Derek Taylor. A testament to the abundance of
perseverance and talent found within The Beatles' ranks, their
fourth album was recorded in and around North American and British
tours. 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 future 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 bossa-nova flavored 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And Roll Music" is only superseded by a tremendous medley of "Kansas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 placing a decent second to his hero Little Richard
and making this the centerpiece of BEATLES FOR SALE.
