The White Album by Beatles (The) (CD, Aug-1988, 2 Discs, Capitol/EMI Records)

Before the White Album, Beatle records clearly communicated a sense of a collective, cohesive group behind the music. With the White Album, it is obvious each Beatle went his own way, wrote great music, recorded it and then compiled it to deliver a two LP collective solo effort. The songs are brilliant ranging from the rockers (Helter Skelter, Back In The USSR, Everybody's Got Something to Hide), to blues (While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Yer Blues), to tongue in cheek (Why Don't We Do It In The Road) to the out right weird (Revolution 9). The White Album with its introspective tone represents everything that made the Beatles, either as a group or as individuals, the greatest rock and roll bands of all time. No rock music collection is complete with out this album. ** BnB Beatles Depot **
