  • Revisiting The Beatles Albums: Beatles For Sale

    Take a good look at the album cover.  Not exactly the smiling foursome that the image of their earlier albums presented.  They’re growing into weathered musicians.      Favorite Song “I’ll Follow the Sun”.  Though the guitar intro to “Eight Days A Week” sounds really killer in its remastered state and my kids love to…
