Beatles for Sale is The Beatles' fourth album, released in late 1964 and produced by George Martin for Parlophone, released on mono (catalogue number PMC 1240) and stereo (PCS 3062). The album marked a minor turning point in the evolution of Lennon and McCartney as lyricists, Lennon particularly now showing interest in composing songs of a more autobiographical nature. "I'm a Loser" shows Lennon for the first time seemingly coming under the influence of Bob Dylan, soon to meet him for the first time in New York while on tour on 28 August 1964

Only six days separate the last full band session for A Hard Day's Night (Tuesday 2 June) and the first for Beatles for Sale. Prior to the new recording sessions, the band toured Australia and New Zealand (after a two-show night in Hong Kong), played concerts in the Netherlands, Denmark and Sweden and made several television, radio and live concert appearances in the UK. It was "inevitable that the constant grind of touring, writing, promoting, and recording would grate on The Beatles" (Allmusic), leading to the inclusion of several cover versions after the all-original A Hard Day's Night; the band's visible weariness on the album's cover is noted by narrator Malcolm McDowell during The Compleat Beatles. Yet during these sessions they were still capable of recording the single "I Feel Fine" and its B-side, "She's a Woman" (both not on this album), both songs of considerable quality and interest. There is a strong country influence on songs like "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" and "I'm a Loser". Gram Parsons has noted The Beatles strong country influence on "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" noting that country rock was popularized in 1967. Musically, there is a strong folk influence "I'm a Loser"'s also notable for being perhaps the first Beatles song to directly reflect the influence of Bob Dylan, thus nudging folk and rock a little closer together toward the folk-rock explosion of the following year. ...Wikipedia

So far so good. Sounds terrific.

Thanks. The tracks I've sampled so far sound better than my Ebbitts versions (to my ears anyway.)

@rainbow88

These posts are ripped from my own personal vinyl collection, from my original MFSL box set I bought 1982. These vinyl rips have NEVER been published anywhere on the net.

The few glitches that slipped through are due to a rushed job to capture these vinyls before I had to ship the box to the eBay winner. I had made perfect 16/44 rips back in 2000. The box was listed, due to ship, before I thought I really should make new 24 bit rips. To top it off my 30 year old turntable was worn out, so I had to find a good Technics table. I found I shouldn't do other tasks when ripping high bit audio. All glitches found I have cleaned up by splicing in bits from my 16-bit "safety copies". About 4 tracks needed a repair job and now sound great.

Yes, new remastered CD's are coming on September 9 and will still be 16 bit audio. I will be buying them too. The new stereo remasters, I have read, will be compressed a bit. This posting is for those listeners who prefer the sound of 24 bit vinyl sourced audio. By next month everyone can pick and choose whichever sourced material gives them the "sound they prefer".

Thanks again for these, rsfoto.........For those not aware, the Beatles lp's from the MFSL box set are NOT identical in mastering to the MFSL Beatles vinyl that was issued as individual titles......Dr. Ebbetts used the individually released lp's.

@ EVERYONE !!!

I thank the AvaxHome community for all the appreciation all have given me and my Beatles Collection. And a special thanks to those who have put up with my "glitches". I am proud to provide and share this excellent collection. I was heartbroken when I was forced to part with it. Hopefully the guy in Kansas City appreciates my Beatles Box.

Also I would like to give a Big Thanks to all the readers who share their own fine lossless recordings. A Very Sincere Thanks goes to the regular vinyl contributors such as aksman, Mister Cee, Kel bazar, VanPelten. I now fuller appreciate all the love and effort that goes in to sharing your vinyls. Your posts are what brings me here and inspires me to offer what remains of my vinyl collection.

AvaxHome is truly a special place.

Cheers to all !!

Thank you.

@ Number_9: Where did you get the info that the Box was mastered differently then the individual MFSl titles? First I've ever heard that. Please confirm......

Posted By: CrewZ Date: 04 Aug 2009 21:15:05

I think he is referring to what I have posted in my blog of my version of Ebbetts MFSL titles...

But here is the link instead of sourcing it out on my Blog:

http://www.friktech.com/btls/mfsl/

A very interesting read.

Up on reading this ...seems to me that most should seek out the cassette version over vinyl to get the truest sounds.

I have the MFSL cassette of Sgt Pepper. I have a rip I made a few months ago of it using a Nakamichi deck. Perhaps I'll post that some time. Right now I am preparing a new rip of the White Album (single version) made using my new tube preamp.

"Comments & Tech Tips Welcome"

Comments: great upload and dedication. :-)
yours Vinyls rips in 24-bit/96kHz are fantastics.
thanks so much.

Tech Tips: for my taste, don't use any Click Repair, just rip and post as extracted.
cheers!

edit: more Tech Tips.
excuse to ask...why in "Artwork\CD Art folder" have a picture "Main Booklet (or front insert 2 folds) inside" showing the phrase:
" Compact Disc Digital Audio" ????

Posted By: Dr. Robert Date: 13 Aug 2009 09:05:34

@ jorgeluiz - I hate pops and clicks. This Click Repair program I use is excellent. The light setting I use JUST removes tiny clicks. I make these rips to my satisfaction. Making a second post for audio purists would be impossible.

@ Dr. Robert
ok about Click Repair, no problem.

but what about the picture
"Main Booklet (or front insert 2 folds) inside"
showing the phrase:
" ->Compact Disc Digital Audio"<- ????

Compact Disc Digital Audio? :-o

Posted By: rsfoto Date: 16 Aug 2009 16:24:39

@ jorgeluiz - As to "Compact Disc" artwork I included with my rips, I "borrowed" art from Dr. Ebbetts and others for the convenience of those downloaders who like to burn DVD's and print their own jewel case labels. Perhaps I should have Photoshoped in the official DVD-Audio logos.

Posted By: bryter Date: 17 Aug 2009 16:04:41

can't wait to try this one too. i'm sure based on the others that it will be a keeper, no doubt. ;)

love this album btw, never understood the bad press it got from a lot of reviewers. it's a rock n' roll extravaganza!

Respected Dr. Robert:
Would you please re-upload the files?
All the links there are dead.
Thank you so much for your excellent work

I will be making new upgraded rips some day soon. New RS links of this old rip will not be uploaded. Please download from Hot File before they are deleted for inactivity.

Otherwise the new 2009 remasters are excellent. There is even a 24-bit/44.1 kHz version available and it is better than these old rips. http://avaxhome.ws/music/audiophile/for_sale_usb.html

Do a search for "USB Box 2009 Remaster" for the others.

This LP was re-done in 2010 using newer and improved vinyl rig
