Binding: Audio CDEAN: 0077774644327 Label: Capitol Manufacturer: Capitol MPN: 46443 Number Of Discs: 2 Publisher: Capitol Release Date: October 25, 1990 Studio: Capitol Editorial Review: Amazon.com essential recording: Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them 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 powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock'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 Average Rating:

As a casual Beatle fan, however, I feel there is also a lot of what I do not love about them all that much. There are too many lightweight songs mixed in with the bona-fide genius of others. I am sure die hards love this sort of thing and find the appeal of those songs all the more endearing. I am, however, not in that category and can't ... Read More Rating: - Double Your PleasureReleased forty years ago, "The Beatles" aka "The White Album" is notable for many reasons. It's the Fab Four's only double album. It differs greatly from the band's previous two psychedelic albums for a more back-to-basics approach which would continue with their following albums. It's a sprawling and at times schizophrenic record that documents the falling apart of the band as most songs are primarily composed by whomever is singing the lead with the rest of the boys as backup band. Though this is ... Read More Rating: - Beatles white albumDisc 2 skips in the begining.......not cool..but it was great to hear this CD since I traded my white album years ago to my brother! |
