Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0077774644327 Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 46443 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: 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 Average Rating:
 Rating:  - If The White Album didn't exist, it would be necessary to invent itAt the end of "Glass Onion" is when you know you are in for something unique and special from the Beatles on The White Album. The end of the song features a slow, piercing violin meshed with a "dink, dink, dink" sound that prepares the listener by saying "Okay, we are going to do something different and we are going to lay it all on the line for you, so be ready." Although I believe Revolver to be the quintessential Beatles album because of its mastery of the balance of art and pop, I believe The ...

I am sure that I cannot add much to the proceedings so let me just say this: even the songs that I had wondered previously as to why they were included (Wild Honey Pie and Why Don't We Do It In the Road to name two)sound good in 2008. The Beatles were always several steps ahead of everyone in their music making. This album only goes to prove that in some cases, their vision extended years and years ... Read More Rating: - One of the greatest releases in rock history!There are those that love to bash the Beatles simply because they're so popular and rock icons. It's just those being defiant and against the grain. The Beatles White Album succeeds because of the surprising production values and the sheer magniture of the individual talents who are on display here. It would be senseless to analyze each cut when the entire album is superb. I was in a rock band in the mid-1960's and The Beatles were always the standard to be measured by. They sang better, recorded better ... Read More Rating: - DARK YET INDISPENSIBLEMany younger listeners prefer THE WHITE ALBUM above all other Beatles albums. Above even the gold standard of Sgt. Pepper and the highly beloved Abbey Road. I don't share this enthusiasm. I place the afore mentioned Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road in the top two followed by Revolver and Rubber Soul. Rounding out the top five would be the unjustly neglected Magical Mystery Tour. THE WHITE ALBUM would then come in sixth. The Beatles never made a bad album. LET IT BE may be the lone exception ...
