It’s one of the more unique and perhaps under-appreciated albums in the Beatles otherworldly catalog: “Beatles For Sale”. Recorded in the eye of the Beatlemania storm, with the making of what would become “Help” right around the corner, this is one of the few Beatles albums that, to quote TLC’s tribute to Zach Braff (NBC’s “No Scrubs”), “Beatles For Sale”, sadly gets no love. It’s occasionally dismissed as a creative and energy step down from the album which preceded it, “A Hard Days Night”. BY MORONS, AM I RIGHT? Because this is a damn fine album, however exhausted and transitional the boys may have been, and it’s long past time it gets an authentic, patented UBP deep dish. Hold the sausage, it’s almost Meat Free Monday, you jagbag!
In addition to dishing Dylan, The Beatles, and the age old political battle of mono vs. stereo, the Now On Sale Two also ponder:
🍔 Is Tony a first time grunter, a longtime grunter, or a R.J. Grunter?
🌈 Marvin Gaye ganked the riff and feel of “Got To Give It Up” from longtime, actual soul legend Robin Thicke, yes? Like, obviously?
🥁 Is Bernard Purdie, scientifically, the world’s only drummer?
