Product Description

From Amazon.com

Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even McCartney could still rock, and the amazement on "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knock-offs to reggae and to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. --Chris Nickson

5.0 out of 5 stars The most experimental album the Beatles ever recorded, 2 May 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The Beatles [VINYL] (Vinyl)

This album was compiled shortly after the fab four's trip to India in 1967, where they experienced meditation from the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Some of the excellent lyrics and ideas were thoughts at the time of this experience and so were expressed brilliantly as ever on this sensational album worth every minute of it's playing time. There are also some great ballads on the album such as John's sentimental 'Julia' and 'Good Night' sung by Ringo Starr. As ever there are some typical rock n' roll numbers that largely make this album what it is. Harrison also contributes to the album with his amusing 'Piggies' and also 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' with a fantastic guitar solo from guest Eric Clapton. This album is one of the best Beatles albums ever made, showing the fab four at their best, many songs untampered with. Definetely worth buying!

5.0 out of 5 stars Warning! This album is addictive., 21 Jun 2005

By	bernie "xyzzy" (Arlington, Texas) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Beatles (Audio CD)

Today it is new to many people. However for me it is a slice of time from my history. As with all great art after one does the best that can be done with the standards, the next step is to go out to left field that threatens to lose followers and may or may not work. Just when you thought The Beatles time had come to take that step, they came out with "The White Album" and proved that no one knows where the classics end and experimental must begin.

I was fortunate enough to obtain one of the scarce copies in 1969. And it seemed funny to be playing "Back In The U.S.S.R." at West Point New York. As for the rest of the album many reviews look on this as an eclectic collection. On the surface it maybe. Then you can hear and feel the underlying pattern of the Beatles. They are just extending their range and keeping that which makes them unique.

I believe this album is addictive.

Most people look favorable on this album others look at it as a transitional time for the Beatles. Ether way they realize the Beatles as any artist have down the universal fundamentals that make good music and have adapted it to a unique style.

The few detractors are usually people that do not understand what goes into music and would benefit from an appreciation class.

True some tracks probably would not be purchased as a single. It is the peril of many albums that they must carry some of the weaker contributions.

Bottom line is that this item is worth the investment.

5.0 out of 5 stars More variety than Heinz!, 26 May 2007

By	Paul Rance (Whaplode Drove, UK) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Beatles [VINYL] (Vinyl)

It would be hard to find a more diverse album than this one!

It begins with the fairly conventional, if raucous, 'Back In The USSR'. Then things start to get more offbeat with 'Dear Prudence' and 'Glass Onion', and then onto mainstream pop with the pop classic, 'Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da'.

George Harrison's tender vocals on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' are sublimely aided by Eric Clapton's mesmerising guitar solo, and is one of George's masterpieces.

'Happiness Is A Warm Gun' continues the rather offbeat, darkly humorous aspect of the album, and then more mainstream pop follows with 'Martha My Dear'. Then we have a bewildering mixture of music from the folksy 'Blackbird' and 'Mother Nature's Song' through the hard rock of 'Helter Skelter' to the meandering maze of apocalyptic sound effects that is 'Revolution 9'. It's only appropriate that Ringo's incongruous, but lovely, lullaby, 'Good Night', should end the album.

There's so much to catch the ear here. 'Birthday' even sounds like Steve Jones has snuck in there as a child prodigy, 'Long, Long, Long' is a strange melancholic track of wistful beauty, and 'Revolution 1' a slow version of the 'Hey Jude' B-side. 'Honey Pie' sounds a disarmingly authentic Vaudeville song, and 'Cry Baby Cry' a scary modern fairytale. 'Rocky Raccoon' is a bar room song, sung by Paul McCartney, straight out of a cowboy movie, and McCartney's vocals are extended like never before, or since, on this LP. 'Sexy Sadie' is a sly dig at the Maharishi, and 'Julia' is John Lennon's haunting, and crushingly moving, lament to his tragic mother. 'Why Don't We Do It In The Road?' works somehow, despite lyrical repetition. Overall, the lyrical content is bolder than anything The Beatles had produced on previous albums. George Harrison supplies some wacky humour via 'Savoy Truffle', and the infamous 'Piggies'. Though only the truly twisted could see this as a call to arms to kill society's elite.

It seems amazing today that the top group around would release a double album, and not issue a single from it, but that was the case with this album.

Whilst there were a lot of 'out there' tracks, it's a fairly 50/50 split with more commercial material. This is an album that, in turns, beguiles, entertains, moves, and even, through some of its remarkably strange sounds, and Lennon's often graphic and acerbic vocals, disturbs.
