Editorial Review:
Amazon.co.uk Review:
The White Album was meant to be the record that brought the Beatles 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 songwriting powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of music'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

- All White? Not really, no!!!This album is rubbish!! It's a shame I have to give it even one star.
There's not one reference to snow, paper, colombian marching powder or anything else white including Xmas!!!
Nope, it's all over the show, no structure to the album at all, songs all jumbled up. I think The Beatles must have still been on drugs when they put this album together. Oh Bla Di, Oh Bla Da????? Oh Bloody Hell more like.
Brian Epstein died just before this album was released, and ... Read More

- Great as in GREAT-LESIt was 40 years ago to this very day when a double album was put out that critics... well, delved into. Opinions were different, meaning: quite often conflicting, and stars may well not have come close to the fivish the Fab4 are being awarded on this site today.
But look back and taste the sheer genius of four artists in their own right who went on to embark on world famous careers every single one of them. Today, Martha My Dear was on the radio, but other tracks ring bells of themselves. ... Read More

- Their Tortured MasterpieceIt had been a tough year and a bit for The Beatles. Their manager Brian Epstein had committed suicide, their Magical Mystery Tour had seen them mauled by critics for the first time, and their attempts to practise transcendental meditation in India with the Maharishi had ended in disaster. It was during that ill-fated trip that most of these songs were written.
Inside the band itself, the situation was also far from hunky dory. Lennon would soon lose interest in the band, spending more and ... Read More

- First steps to break-upOf all the major albums produced by the Beatles, this is the least coherent. The need to produce output for the purposes of the EMI contract led to some distinctly low quality rushed material from all the participants - in many ways a precursor to the substandard offerings to come later under their individual names. No longer greater than the sum of their parts, this is just four individuals showing their limitations. George Martin thought that it could have made one high quality album if the extensive ...

- NO fillerReally great tunes here! For a contemporary comparison I recommend Nick Worrall. His album is FREE to download as well.
