The Beatles
release date 1995-12-05 publisher: Capitol
A Hard Day's Night was the first Beatles album of all-original material, and the first to feature George Harrison playing his Rickenbacker electric 12-string guitar (on the opening chord of "A Hard Day's Night," for instance). The distinctive sound of the 12-string inspired countless guitarists including Roger McGuinn and David Crosby of the Byrds. The film from which these songs hail remains a classic combination of happy 1960s naivete and nascent hipster wit. Many of the most important rock bands to emerge in the latter half of the '60s came into being because of A Hard Day's Night's irresistible vibrancy. The tunes flow like the finest red wine, as the title track leads to the glorious harmonica of "I Should Have Known Better" and the powerfully poignant "If I Fell." EMI. 2005.

The Beatles
release date 1995-12-05 publisher: Capitol
A testament to the abundance of perseverance and talent within the Beatles' ranks, 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 The frenetic, inspired take on Chuck Berry's "Rock And Roll Music" is only superseded by a tremendous medley of "Kansas City" and "Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey," that finds Paul McCartney's exuberant vocals comparing admirably to his hero Little Richard,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. EMI. 2005.

other title: 一夜狂欢 / 艰难时光 …
1963年秋天,为了从红透半边天的甲壳虫身上赚笔钱,美国的United Artists和甲壳虫签约拍摄一部电影,目的是得以在美国推出电影的原声唱片。他们找到Walter Shenson做制片,Richard Lester导演,在1964年拍摄了电影A Hard Day's Night。 Shenson在1963年秋甲壳虫前往美国前与他们接触,要求他们为电影创作6首歌——题材不限,但要有两首抒情歌曲,两首快节奏的舞曲等等。在加勒比海度假期间,他们创作了八九首歌,Dick Lester从中选出了六首用于电影中,这些歌曲是:You Can't Do That、And I Love Her、I Should Have Known Better、Tell Me Why、If I Fell、I'm Happy Just to Dance with You。3月2日拍摄开始前,甲壳虫在伦敦EMI录音室里录制了这些歌曲。其中演奏You Can't Do That的部分在电影推出时被剪辑掉了,但之前就做为Can't Buy Me Love单曲的B面发行,也仍然出现在美国版的原声唱片上。 电影拍摄从3月2日开始,至4月24日结束。影片用夸张的手法描述甲壳虫一天的生活,其主题来自John Lennon说过的一句话。当Lester问John他们的瑞典之行如何时,John答道:“It was a room and a car and a car and a room and a room and a car.”这句话稍加变动后被用在电影里,变成了“Paul的爷爷”的台词。 Shenson原先以为他可以随便找一首新歌的歌名作为电影题目,但这六首新歌都不太合适。拍摄期间,大家绞尽脑汁为电影找一个合适的名字。最后有一天,John和他聊天时提起Ringo有趣的语言,并举出“A hard day's night”为例。John自己在刚出版的《In His Own Write》也曾经使用过这个短语。大家一致同意它可以作为电影题目。于是John按Shenson的嘱咐,以此为题创作了电影的主题歌,并在4月16日拍摄电影期间把它录制下来。 美国出版的电影原声唱片只包括这七首新歌,但为了Parlophone的英国唱片,他们在6月回到录音室,又录制了5首新歌: I'll Cry Instead、I'll be Back、Any Time At all、Things We Said Today和 When I Get Home。加上电影里使用的他们之前发行过的单曲Can't Buy Me Love,英国的专辑唱片里一共有13首歌,全部是甲壳虫的原创歌曲。这是他们第一次能够推出一张全部原创的专辑。 这一成就主要应归功于John Lennon当时旺盛的创作力。在这13首歌里,9首都是他主笔创作的。Paul主笔创作了3首歌,并和John合作为George创作了I'm Happy Just to Dance With You。当然,按照主创者主唱的原则,John在这张专辑中的主唱也远远超过其他三人,甚至没有给Ringo一个表现的机会。 A Hard Day's Night的电影成为摇滚电影的经典,教给整整一代年轻人反叛的原则,而这张专辑标志着甲壳虫的创作进入了一个新的阶段,我们可以把它叫做“早期阶段的中期”吧?
