Summary
S02E12: Beatles For Sale
The Beatles fourth album from December 1964 didn’t even get a proper release in the USA, and for the longest time has been treated as the runt of the litter. It is an essential album from a group who in a year had become the most famous people in the world; an album born from touring the world and meeting Bob Dylan. It’s time to listen to it again.
Live on tape from Dublin and Belfast, it’s Nothing Is Real.

| 0:34.8 | The songs were instead spread across the Beatles 65 and the |
| 0:37.9 | Beatles six albums. And over the years, it's a rare thing for someone to say that it's their |
| 0:42.3 | favourite Beatles album. However, are the rumours that it's a subpar, nay, the worst Beatles album, |
| 0:48.3 | even fair? I don't think it's fair. Do you think it's fair, Stephen? |
| 0:53.0 | No, this is an album that I only came |
| 0:56.1 | back to quite recently. It's not an album |
| 0:57.9 | I listened to very much, and I would |
| 0:59.9 | probably have said, |
| 1:01.8 | with the exception of Yellow Submarine, |
| 1:03.8 | it might be my least favorite |
| 1:05.8 | Beatles album, but listening |
| 1:07.8 | to it again, I think I'm |
| 1:09.2 | revising that opinion. |
