Emerging from Liverpool, England in 1960, The Beatles were a seminal British group that evolved from rock/pop origins into pioneers of musical experimentation. The band solidified its iconic lineup in 1962, featuring John Lennon (vocals, guitar, harmonica, keyboards), Paul McCartney (vocals, bass, guitar, keyboards, percussion), George Harrison (guitar, vocals, sitar), and Ringo Starr (drums, vocals, percussion) after signing a recording contract with EMI.Initially recognized for their Merseybeat style, The Beatles soon ventured into uncharted musical territories. They explored psychedelia and pioneered innovative production techniques that incorporated tape loops and other effects. Over their active years they created a legacy of 12 studio albums.Their profound impact on rock and roll was acknowledged in 1988 when they were inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame as a group. By 2015 each member had also received individual recognition for their contributions as solo artists within the Hall of Fame.

Their fourth album was recorded in and around a busy north american and british tour schedule. '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 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 the frenetic, inspired take on chuck berry's 'rock and roll music' is only superseded by a tremendous medley of 'kansas city' and 'hey, hey, hey, hey,' that finds paul mccartney's exuberant vocals comparing admirably to his hero little richard, providing a vibrant centerpiece on 'beatles for sale'.
