You can touch the sky with your hands, or even stand up there and see everything from there, and at the same time, hit rock bottom and stand there and see everything from a distance and still release an album that has sold 700,000 copies before it goes on sale. And ranked No. 1 for seven weeks in a row? If possible. But only if it’s about the Beatles and albums like Beatles For Sale.
For Sale, released on December 4, 1964, was the Liverpool band’s fourth album in twenty-one months and their third in just over a year. Impressive, right? All the more so if we see what they did in the first six months of that unsurpassable and certainly unrepeatable year of 1964.
The first 9-day tour conquered the United States in February. It toured the UK from the end of April to the end of May. It toured Europe, Asia and Oceania from June 4 to 30. It toured Sweden in July and the UK again in August. From August 19 to On September 20, they returned to the United States for their first tour of 26 concerts.
While all these shows were going on, the guys managed to film and release their first movie, “A Hard Day’s Night”; is the band’s third album and the first to be produced exclusively with their own compositions.

On August 11, 1964, just five weeks after the release of A Hard Day’s Night, the band met at Abbey Road’s Studio 2 to begin writing songs that would be included on the “loose” album For Sale. ” from the discography The Beatles.
By then the band was exhausted, six months had passed, and there was still half a year to go, and of course by the end of the year it was already packed with shows. Against this backdrop, Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr successfully recorded their second album of the year.
But the band was exhausted from a busy year. What was about to run out was Beatlemania, the machine of the culture industry whose fuel was the Beatles themselves, their music, their bodies and, above all, their creativity. Because Beatlemania started long before 1964, in the early 1960s, when four poor kids from England’s industrial north were exposed to rock and speed at night in the port of Hamburg, Germany, among sailors and prostitutes.
If “A Hard Day’s Night” marked the high point of Beatlemania, “Selling the Beatles” was a pivotal point in their lives. They cannot and do not want to continue like this. Still, Lennon and McCartney were determined to abide by the music industry rules of the day: release a new album before Christmas.
Although they managed to complete an album for the first time without the need for covers, they soon had to go back to old rock classics to fill the gaps in the album where they didn’t have enough material of their own. Oddly, two of his own compositions he recorded during “For Sale” are omitted: “I Feel Fine” and “She’s a Woman,” no less.

Although the recording lasted two and a half months, it actually only took eight days. In the meantime, they traveled intermittently. The album showcases Bob Dylan’s initial influence on Lennon’s compositions, folk and a certain country sound that separated from the Merseybeats typical of Beatlemania. The sound will deepen on “Help,” and most importantly on “Rubber Soul.”
“For Sale” opens with two songs by Lennon, both of which are quite somber and pessimistic in tone: “No replay” and “I’m a Loser”, with John playing harmonica in the style of Dylan. The third track, “Baby’s in Black,” stood out for the vocal work of Lennon and McCartney, who decided to record themselves singing together into the same microphone.

This was the first time the Beatles brought partially formed songs into the studio and completed the songwriting process while recording.
Two more covers followed: Buddy Holly’s “Words of Love,” which settled an old debt to the 1950s icon, and Carl Perkins’s “Honey Don’t,” which Sung by Ringo Starr in his own way.

October 18, 1964
The Beatles spent eight days recording the songs for For Sale, and there are a few songs that stand out for a number of reasons. On Sunday, October 18, 1964, Geoff Emerick said in his great memoir of his career as an engineer, The Beatles’ Sound, “This was the biggest breakout in the history of the Beatles. One of the most productive recording sessions”. most of the band’s albums.
Why does Emerick think so? Because, perhaps driven by time, the Beatles completed eight of the album’s fourteen songs, and because that day they were the first to use feedback (itself a form of noise) as an intentional resource, That is, “I feel good.”
Let’s follow Emerick’s wonderful memories to discover that day. The first thing they did was finish “Eight Days a Week,” which had been recorded a week earlier, but it missed the opening. According to Emerick, the song had two problems: an irregular beginning and an abrupt end.
After trying out Paul’s idea of singing a cappella with John and George, another George Martin gave him a thumbs up and sent them off to finish the final tune: Lennon and Harrison strumming loud guitar chords, McCartney played a backing track.
Photos from the Robert Freeman Conference In the fall of 1964, The Beatles performed in Hyde Park, London.
They already know how Eight Days a Week ends, but they still don’t know how to begin. That was until sound and mixing engineer Norman Smith came up with a revolutionary idea: use the last used fade at the beginning, only instead of fading out, you fade in.
With this determination, they started with “Kansas City-Hey/Hey/Hey/Hey,” with Paul pushing his vocals to the extreme; they moved on to the next cover, “Mr.” “Moonlight,” written by Dr. Feelgood, John Like Paul, the sound is extreme, just like the cave days of old. The problem here is Harrison’s solo, which is really weird considering the vibrato he uses. Martin decided to replace it with someone played by Hammond Maca.
As the orchestra continued to do their thing, a noise came from the control room that alerted Emeric’s keen hearing. The engineer thought something, a cable, a piece of equipment was broken. Neither: it was Lennon on his knees, gluing his guitar to an amplifier. It’s creating coupling.
Everyone knew this would create noise, but no one intentionally made the noise an effect. But what happened? They stumbled upon it. The night before, while working on “Eight Days a Week,” Lennon rested his guitar against an amplifier during a break and forgot to turn down the volume of the instrument’s microphone. At the other end of the studio, McCartney played the low A on his bass, whose sound waves created the guitar’s reaction.
“I Feel Fine” was recorded on that famous Sunday the 18th, starting with the famous group. However, it will not be included on For Sale, but will be released as a single along with the B-side “She’s a Woman”.
The Beatles ended the day by recording three songs in a total of five sessions. Basically, everything is as active as before. George sang lead vocals on a version of Carl Perkins’ “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby”, the most striking aspect of which was the abundance of horsey sounds (simple tape echo and delayed echo) in George’s voice.
They then recorded “Rock Music” in one take, with Lennon’s voice gently echoing and George Martin once again demonstrating his talents as a rock pianist. No dubbing, just great live performances.
Finally, John and Paul agreed on a version of “Love Words.” It was recorded in three segments, only two of which are complete. The third, plus the dubbing of the second, is the best.
The iconic cover of The Beatles For Sale (like all covers, by the way) is a photograph taken by Robert Freeman in Hyde Park in October 1964, showing some The Beatles Look seriously into the camera. They are four growing boys. Many people say that the tiredness from busy days is reflected in their eyes. Maybe, but they were more tired of the Beatlemania thing.

On Sunday, October 18, 1964, Geoff Emerick said in his great memoir of his career as an engineer, The Beatles’ Sound, “This was the biggest breakout in the history of the Beatles. One of the most productive recording sessions”. most of the band’s albums.
Why does Emerick think so? Because, perhaps driven by time, the Beatles completed eight of the album’s fourteen songs, and because that day they were the first to use feedback (itself a form of noise) as an intentional resource, That is, “I feel good.”
Let’s follow Emerick’s wonderful memories to discover that day. The first thing they did was finish “Eight Days a Week,” which had been recorded a week earlier, but it missed the opening. According to Emerick, the song had two problems: an irregular beginning and an abrupt end.
After trying out Paul’s idea of singing a cappella with John and George, another George Martin gave him a thumbs up and sent them off to finish the final tune: Lennon and Harrison strumming loud guitar chords, McCartney played a backing track.

They already know how Eight Days a Week ends, but they still don’t know how to begin. That was until sound and mixing engineer Norman Smith came up with a revolutionary idea: use the last used fade at the beginning, only instead of fading out, you fade in.
With this determination, they started with “Kansas City-Hey/Hey/Hey/Hey,” with Paul pushing his vocals to the extreme; they moved on to the next cover, “Mr.” “Moonlight,” written by Dr. Feelgood, John Like Paul, the sound is extreme, just like the cave days of old. The problem here is Harrison’s solo, which is really weird considering the vibrato he uses. Martin decided to replace it with someone played by Hammond Maca.
As the orchestra continued to do their thing, a noise came from the control room that alerted Emeric’s keen hearing. The engineer thought something, a cable, a piece of equipment was broken. Neither: it was Lennon on his knees, gluing his guitar to an amplifier. It’s creating coupling.
Everyone knew this would create noise, but no one intentionally made the noise an effect. But what happened? They stumbled upon it. The night before, while working on “Eight Days a Week,” Lennon rested his guitar against an amplifier during a break and forgot to turn down the volume of the instrument’s microphone. At the other end of the studio, McCartney played the low A on his bass, whose sound waves created the guitar’s reaction.
“I Feel Fine” was recorded on that famous Sunday the 18th, starting with the famous group. However, it will not be included on For Sale, but will be released as a single along with the B-side “She’s a Woman”.
The Beatles ended the day by recording three songs in a total of five sessions. Basically, everything is as active as before. George sang lead vocals on a version of Carl Perkins’ “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby”, the most striking aspect of which was the abundance of horsey sounds (simple tape echo and delayed echo) in George’s voice.
They then recorded “Rock Music” in one take, with Lennon’s voice gently echoing and George Martin once again demonstrating his talents as a rock pianist. No dubbing, just great live performances.
Finally, John and Paul agreed on a version of “Love Words.” It was recorded in three segments, only two of which are complete. The third, plus the dubbing of the second, is the best.

You can touch the sky with your hands, or even stand up there and see everything from there, and at the same time, hit rock bottom and stand there and see everything from a distance and still release an album that has sold 700,000 copies before it goes on sale. And ranked No. 1 for seven weeks in a row? If possible. But only if it’s about the Beatles and albums like Beatles For Sale.
For Sale, released on December 4, 1964, was the Liverpool band’s fourth album in twenty-one months and their third in just over a year. Impressive, right? All the more so if we see what they did in the first six months of that unsurpassable and certainly unrepeatable year of 1964.
The first 9-day tour conquered the United States in February. It toured the UK from the end of April to the end of May. It toured Europe, Asia and Oceania from June 4 to 30. It toured Sweden in July and the UK again in August. From August 19 to On September 20, they returned to the United States for their first tour of 26 concerts.
While all these shows were going on, the guys managed to film and release their first movie, “A Hard Day’s Night”; is the band’s third album and the first to be produced exclusively with their own compositions.
Which band recently released a movie that was a box-office breakthrough in movie theaters around the world, released a critically acclaimed and successful new album, and then returned to the studio to work on another album? The Beatles, who else.
met at Abbey Road. Harrison, McCartney, George Martin and Lennon recorded The Beatles’ “For Sale” in the legendary Studio 2.
On August 11, 1964, just five weeks after the release of A Hard Day’s Night, the band met at Abbey Road’s Studio 2 to begin writing songs that would be included on the “loose” album For Sale. ” from the discography The Beatles.
By then the band was exhausted, six months had passed, and there was still half a year to go, and of course by the end of the year it was already packed with shows. Against this backdrop, Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr successfully recorded their second album of the year.
But the band was exhausted from a busy year. What was about to run out was Beatlemania, the machine of the culture industry whose fuel was the Beatles themselves, their music, their bodies and, above all, their creativity. Because Beatlemania started long before 1964, in the early 1960s, when four poor kids from England’s industrial north were exposed to rock and speed at night in the port of Hamburg, Germany, among sailors and prostitutes.
If “A Hard Day’s Night” marked the high point of Beatlemania, “Selling the Beatles” was a pivotal point in their lives. They cannot and do not want to continue like this. Still, Lennon and McCartney were determined to abide by the music industry rules of the day: release a new album before Christmas.
Although they managed to complete an album for the first time without the need for covers, they soon had to go back to old rock classics to fill the gaps in the album where they didn’t have enough material of their own. Oddly, two of his own compositions he recorded during “For Sale” are omitted: “I Feel Fine” and “She’s a Woman,” no less.

Although the recording lasted two and a half months, it actually only took eight days. In the meantime, they traveled intermittently. The album showcases Bob Dylan’s initial influence on Lennon’s compositions, folk and a certain country sound that separated from the Merseybeats typical of Beatlemania. The sound will deepen on “Help,” and most importantly on “Rubber Soul.”
“For Sale” opens with two songs by Lennon, both of which are quite somber and pessimistic in tone: “No replay” and “I’m a Loser”, with John playing harmonica in the style of Dylan. The third track, “Baby’s in Black,” stood out for the vocal work of Lennon and McCartney, who decided to record themselves singing together into the same microphone.

“Rock and Roll Music” is the first of three covers on Side A, a Chuck Berry classic the Beatles have known by heart since their days in Hamburg. In fact, given the extent of past rehearsals, all six covers were recorded in one or two takes.
RL Johnson’s Mr. Moonlight features Paul playing the Hammond organ. Weird cover that doesn’t even sound good. El Lado ended with Leiber & Stoller’s medley of “Kansas City,” which the Beatles performed in the same manner as Little Richard, combining it with Richard’s own “Hey/Hey/Hey/Hey.”
The B-side opens with a hit song: “Eight Days a Week.” Without really knowing how to resolve the beginning of the song, Lennon and McCartney innovated: they started with a fade-in, something no one had done so far, and sent in the guitar at the end that they had recorded for the opening .
This was the first time the Beatles brought partially formed songs into the studio and completed the songwriting process while recording.
Two more covers followed: Buddy Holly’s “Words of Love,” which settled an old debt to the 1950s icon, and Carl Perkins’s “Honey Don’t,” which Sung by Ringo Starr in his own way. John sang one of Paul’s “Every Little Thing”; John’s “I Don’t Want To Spoil The Party”, full of country flavor; Paul’s “What Are You Doing”; and finally the last of six covers , ending with Perkins’ “Everybody’s Trying To Be My Baby,” which George Harrison sang and recorded.
