Beatles For Sale Album 
by The Beatles
December 1964

Sequenced by D.W.Barnes

This is a "concept" MIDI file. Over the past few years, I've been 
sequencing a lot of Beatles songs. As time went on, I found I'd nearly done 
all of the songs on some of the Beatles' albums. I feel the music has a 
special meaning for me in the context of the other songs on their albums - 
all usually being written at about the same time. It places their work at a 
particular stage of their development...

I thought I'd combine my sequences into a super-file in the order of their 
original counterparts on the album:

 1  No Reply
 2  I'm A Loser
 3  Baby's In Black
 4  Rock and Roll Music (Chuck Berry)
 5  I'll Follow the Sun
 6  Mr. Moonlight (Roy Lee Johnson)
 7  Kansas City / Hey Hey Hey Hey (Leiber & Stoller)
 8  Eight Days A Week
 9  Words Of Love (Buddy Holly)
10  Honey Don't (Carl Perkins)
11  Every Little Thing
12  I Don't Want To Spoil The Party
13  What You're Doing
14  Everybody's Trying To Be My Baby (Carl Perkins)

It's a large file in it's unzipped form (487kB). My 486 with 16 MB of ram 
didn't have any problems playing it with a Windows 95 midi player. I hope 
it works ok on yours. The run time of the file is 37:10 minutes... As I 
keep sequencing and get close to the completion of all songs of other 
albums, I plan to do this again...

These were sequenced using a Roland SoundCanvas SC-55mkII, and will sound 
best on something of comparable quality. I used various GS specific things 
like sysex's for resets between songs, display sysex's, NRPN's for vibrato, 
and some things I've noticed aren't recognized by my FM sound card, like 
expression fades instead of volume fades, etc.
