Recorded at Abbey Road Studios and Trident Studios, London, England between May and October 1968. THE BEATLES (generally known as "The White Album" because of its cover) was a sprawling two-record set, highlighting the distinct personalities in the group as they matured and moved further away from each other. With the four Beatles playing like session men on each other's songs, the making of the album was fraught with tension. John Lennon's songs included a bitter take on people who read too much into the Beatles' lyrics ("Glass Onion"), reflections on loneliness and alienation ("Yer Blues," "I'm So Tired"), and the avant garde sound collage "Revolution 9." George Harrison's songs offered black humor ("Piggies") and tender sadness ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps," with Eric Clapton on guitar). Paul McCartney provided both light, lyric songs ("Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Honey Pie"), and rockers ("Back In The U.S.S.R.," the explosive "Helter Skelter"). Ringo Starr made his solo songwriting debut with the goofy country/ska lilt of "Don't Pass Me By" and sang the album closer "Good Night."

Report this review Review created: 03/24/08 by: It is just like the original LP from 1968, just in a smaller package. I have wanted this ever sense I saw the one my ex-girlfriend had back in 2001. Great collectors item. Review ID: 10000000006320700 Was this review helpful? Report this review 0 of 1 people found this review helpful. I think this is a great album by The Beatles! Versatility is the theme on this album. They one time rock out and then go to blues and then to a easy listening sound etc. Don't expect to hear 1964 type style music on this album even though there are some traces on it. I think it was a well done album and a true classic. Any Beatles fans should include this golden great in their library! Recommended!! Review ID: 10000000005100913 Was this review helpful?

Especially for Birthday. I like to hear this on my special day. Review ID: 10000000003606276 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
