The Beatles (White Album) [VINYL]

Product Information

So next time you go digging through your old record collection, keep an eye out for this classic album—it could be worth more than you think! Some of these songs remained acoustic on The Beatles and were recorded solo or by only part of the group (including " Wild Honey Pie", [58] " Blackbird", [59] " Julia", [60] " IWill" [61] and " Mother Nature's Son"). The track became widely bootlegged in the Soviet Union, where the Beatles' music was banned, and became an underground hit. George Martin's influence had gradually waned, and he left abruptly to go on a holiday during the recording sessions, leaving his young protégé Chris Thomas in charge of production.

Don't Pass Me By" was Starr's first solo composition for the band; [124] he had been toying with the idea of writing a self-reflective song for some time, possibly as far back as 1963. Writing for MusicHound in 1999, Guitar World editor Christopher Scapelliti described the album as "self-indulgent and at times unlistenable" but identified "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" and "Helter Skelter" as "fascinating standouts" that made it a worthwhile purchase. Abbey Road staff later commented that Starr was usually the first to arrive at the studio, waiting in the reception area for the others to arrive.

It includes the four photos and the poster that came with the original ‘White Album’ as well as the seven discs. However, even if your album doesn’t meet all of these criteria, it’s still a treasured piece of music history that any fan would be lucky to own. The four-LP vinyl set comes in a lift-top box with a four-page booklet, and presents the 2LP album in a faithful, embossed reproduction of its original gatefold sleeve with the fold-out poster and portrait photos, paired with the 2LP ‘Esher Demos’ in an embossed gatefold sleeve. In a 2003 appraisal of the album, for Mojo magazine, Ian MacDonald wrote that The Beatles regularly appears among the top 10 in critics' "best albums of all time" lists, yet it was a work that he deemed "eccentric, highly diverse, and very variable [in] quality". In 2000, The Beatles was voted number 5 in the third edition of Colin Larkin's All Time Top 1000 Albums.
