The White Album - Beatles (The) (CD 1988)

The White Album has such a diversity of Beatles songs -- good, bad, sweet, vulgar, political, philosophical, mundane, mysterious.

If you don't own the White Album, you will probably find songs in here that you have never heard before. Hearing the songs in their original order, as they were released back in the 1960s gives you a lot of feel for the band and each of the individual personalities. You don't get that same sense if you hear a collection that picks and chooses songs over a longer period of time. I have owned the album for over 20 years, and each time I listen to it gives me more of a flavor for who the Beatles were.

My favorite of the album is George Harrison's "While my Guitar Gently Weeps", but there are so many other creative songs to talk about.

Enjoy!!

Even today, this would be a spectacular ground breaking classic. Goes from great rock to mellow melodies.

We purchased several Beattles CDs and this one, by far, was the worst. Don't waste your money on this one - very unhappy!

Arguably the White Album could have been made into a one LP release and would have probably become The Beatles' strongest album ever. Producer George Martin is of this opinion, but I can't agree. Because unfinished songs like "Golden Slumbers", "Cry Baby Cry" or "Why Don't We Do It in The Road?" would probably have been left out, and that would have been of great loss to the world. What I always did on my LP version and kept doing in CD version is skip Ob-La-Di-Ob-La-Da on the first disc and "Revolution 9" on the second. The rest is just joy to my ears.

I bought The Beatle's White album cd for my son. He loves it. We are all able to enjoy this cd. It arrived very quickly after ordering and was in perfect condition. Thanks

The White Album - Beatles (The) (CD 1988)It's a CD for god sakes....................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................

The boys began to branch out in this work. Classics such as Helter Skelter, Blackbird, Back in the USSR-- and Dear Prudence make this such a wonderful listening experience.. you can laugh to the antics of the Ballad of Rocky Racoon, and Buffalo Bill. All in all a very varied work with lots of staying power. After watching Across the Universe-- I just needed something better than the soundtrack which is not to say the actors didn't do the tunes justice, its just that nothing beats the Real Mccoy.

I like it. Not as good as Rubber Soul, but still good none the less.

Bought for a gift for someone else and that person really liked the CD's, he likes The Beatles. Good quality sound.

I GREW UP ON THE BETTLES I BOUGHT IT AS A GIFT IT WAS A GROUND BREAKING ALBUM BACK IN THE DAY THE GOOD OLD DAYS IT HAS THE SAME MESSAGE TODAY AS IT DID BACK THEN

I love the Beatles and did not have this album. I was thrilled to get it cheaper than the stores price.

Album as a whole has alot of songs that show the diversity of the musicians that made up the band. The band song writers also made it clear on how they viewed the events of the time. One of the last major undertakings of the beatles before the split.

This was an excellant purchasing experience. CD arrived in New condition as advertised, and was very quick in getting here. Thank you for this professional experience

Bought this for my daughter for Christmas. Classic rock is a great thing to pass on to succeeding generations! This is a great album for that.

Talk about a collection of songs that are all over the map. The White Album doesn't know what it wants to be. But, there is no point in me explaining what this album is. People much more musically educated than me have turned picking it apart and explaining what the pieces mean into a science. I'll just tell you why I like it.

The Brilliant Tracks: The Continuing Story Of Bungalow Bill, While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Marth My Dear, Blackbird, Piggies, Julia, Long, Long, Long, Sexy Sadie

The Really Bad Song: Why Don't We Do It In The Road (at least it makes me laugh).

The good songs: Pretty much everything else.

4 Stars

hard to hide item in the store was real pleased to find on ebay. when seller said just like new it was . i was very pleased with this purchase

I bought this album for my godson who is 12, but loves great music. It was wonderful to be able to listen it with him and have him enjoy it as much as I did. It also brought back many great memories for me as a Baby Boomer.

When I was still in elementary school, my grandmother bought me a turntable and two LP albums for my birthday, one of these albums was the “White Album” and the other was a Monkees Album, they were the first two LPs that I had every owned and my first very own turntable. There was a rumor about the
“White Album” having a picture of John Lennon and Yoko, in bed and that if you immersed the album cover in water, the picture would magically appear, well, one night at a party that my parents were hosting, my mother decided to see if it was true, she and a few of her friends snuck into my room, stole my album and tested the rumor, to their dismay, nothing happened except that they destroyed my album cover, however she replaced it a few days later with a brand new one! So I bought this CD as a fond memory of my childhood and parents. I love it and think it may be the best one to get for Beatles fans.

Priced almost twice the amount as in our local music store or even Target or Walmart. Replaced my cassette version that wore out. Almost complete now in replacing those old cassettes I love.
Hopefully, the CD will be like the Beatles-timeless.
Seller had good ratings and in the USA.

The White Album is the best-selling of all Beatle albums, and is one of the major accomplishments in popular music. The music is fresh, unique, and incredibly diverse, showcasing the varied talents of the four band members (even Ringo was allowed a song he composed himself, "Don't Pass Me By".), which would be highlighted in later years in their solo careers. The popularity of the songs is sometimes attributed to the fact that they are personal and self-referencing. Many songs were conceived during the group's visit to India in 1968. The songs on the album run the range of genres, from rock (Helter Skelter, While My Guitar Gently Weeps), ska (Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da), blues (Yer Blues), pop (Birthday, Back in the USSR), and acoustic ballads (Blackbird, Julia). The songs were also arranged with symmetry on the album, grouping together like songs and/or distributing them evenly throughout the album.
This is a must have for any popular music buff. The White Album is considered by many fans and musicians to be the pinnacle of the Beatles musical career, catering to a wide range of musical tastes. This is the first original double album issued by the Beatles and each song is a separate and distinct masterpiece. The recording was originally available in both stereo and mono, with subtle differences in the mono versions making it a rare find for avid collectors.

Pros - Unique, diverse musical menu; classic collectible packaging; long term enjoyment.

Cons - For those accustomed to Beatles previous material, a huge change.

The beatles white album was purchased because i grew up during the time the beatles had stated. I always enjoyed listening to them all these years. The withe album was one that i liked but did not have on cd.
The price was right and the service was perfect. This was one of many of the best the beatles made.

Again, a fantastic bargain for the cd. I checked local music stores and they were substantially higher priced. E-bay has the bargains, hands down, and I will continue to shop with them.

i am a beatles fan! i owned this album before and it was stolen. i was on my way to a family function and they were playing the white album,(breakfast w/ the beatles)i knew all the words and remembered how much i love and miss this particular album.i have it on vinyl but that doesn't play well on my ipod! so finally i decided to rebuy it. this is my second purchase on ebay. i am pleased with the swift response and recieving of my parcel. this was a special 30th edition and i was excited about the price i bought it for. i am braking on to the ebay scene, you have a repeat buyer in me!
