 Doggett says that their social milieu in 1964 represented "new territory for pop" and a challenge to British class delineation as the Beatles introduced an "arty middle-class" sensibility to pop music.The sessions for "Beatles for Sale" began at EMI Studios on 11 August, one month after the release of "A Hard Day's Night".The majority of the recording sessions took place during a three-week period beginning on 29 September, following the band's return from the US tour.
