Banged out in a hurry for the 1964 Christmas market, Beatles for Sale sometimes sounds it, loaded with ill-conceived covers and some of John Lennon's most self-loathing lyrics. On the other hand, the people doing the banging-out were the Beatles, whose instincts for what worked musically were so strong that they could basically do no wrong--any record that has "Baby's in Black," "I Don't Want to Spoil the Party" and the delectable "Eight Days a Week" on it is only "minor" in the most relative sense. And, though their voices had been frazzled a bit by constant touring, they revved them up for some joyous shouting, and indulged their fondness for American country in subtle, playful ways. --Douglas Wolk
"1964, December.
They actually did try to release two albums a year, I guess, from 1963 until at least 1965-- six in all of those, in three years, in the other five years, eight. "

"Early Beatles. The songs are melodically quite simple rock pieces but there are some very clever and not-so-simple bits of lyrics, especially on the ones written by Lennon."
