I’ve been listening to the 1964 Beatles album “Beatles for Sale.” It doesn’t have any of their really famous tracks, but it’s a really good album, from before they became super-duper famous, and evolved in their music. The rock melodies feel really traditional and basic – but in a really good way. I especially like “No Reply” and “I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party.”

Netsua is his personal blog and website, where he writes about a variety of topics that interest him. The word "Netsua" is in fact Austen's name spelled backwards. It literally translates from gibberish to "Greatness on the level of Austen."
In addition to Netsua, Austen also writes for the mac application blog MacApper.
Great album, I agree. The funny thing is, it’s not an album that I (or any other American boomer) grew up with. This is a British version — the songs here were split between Beatles 65 and Beatles VI in the U.S. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatles_%2765; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beatles_VI).
No Reply is one of my favorite Beatle songs. Check out the demo on Beatles Anthology on Grooveshark, with the boys cracking up when they screw up the lyrics.
Oh My–how wonderful! A mom’s passion for a group is passed on!
