Partly as a result of the group's hectic schedule, only eight of the tracks are original compositions, with cover versions of songs by artists such as Carl Perkins, Chuck Berry, Buddy Holly and Little Richard being used to complete the album. The album reflects the twin influences of country music and Bob Dylan, whom the Beatles met in New York in August 1964. During the sessions, the band ventured into studio experimentation, such as employing a fade-in and incorporating guitar feedback, and supplemented the basic recordings with percussion instruments such as timpani, African hand drums and chocalho. The sessions for Beatles for Sale also produced a non-album single, " I Feel Fine" backed by " She's a Woman". Instead, eight of the album's fourteen tracks appeared on Capitol Records' concurrent release, Beatles '65, issued in North America only. Beatles for Sale was not widely available in the US until 1987, when the Beatles' catalogue was standardised for release on CD.
EIGHT MILES HIGH ACOUSTIC 1978 SERIES
The album marked a departure from the upbeat tone that had characterised the Beatles' previous work, partly due to the band's exhaustion after a series of tours that had established them as a worldwide phenomenon in 1964. It was released on 4 December 1964 in the United Kingdom on EMI's Parlophone label. Beatles for Sale is the fourth studio album by the English rock band the Beatles.
