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

This is one of the top ten albums ever written,ever.Written in the late 60s the diversity of material on this double album is amazing.Who said that drugs dont work.

My friend and I went to see the Bootleg Beatles in concert at the City Hall, Newcastle. I had lost my son a few months previous and asked for a dedication. They were very sensitive about this and played My Guitar Gentley Weeps. I hadnt heard this before and when I found it was on the White Album, decided that I must have it. It's a lovely track and was so pleased when I saw I could buy it off ebay. There are a lot of tracks on there I don't like but that one track makes up for all the rest.

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

Description
THE BEATLES (generally known as "The White Album" because of its cover) was a sprawling two-record set, highlighting the distinct personalities in the group as they matured and moved further away from each other. With the four Beatles playing like session men on each other's songs, the making of the album was fraught with tension. John Lennon's songs included a bitter take on people who read too much into the Beatles' lyrics ("Glass Onion"), reflections on loneliness and alienation ("Yer Blues", "I'm So Tired"), and the avant garde sound collage "Revolution 9".
George Harrison's songs offered black humor ("Piggies") and tender sadness ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps", with Eric Clapton on guitar). Paul McCartney provided both light, lyric songs ("Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da","Honey Pie"), and rockers ("Back In The U.S.S.R"., the explosive "Helter Skelter"). Ringo Starr made his solo songwriting debut with the goofy country/ska lilt of "Don't Pass Me By" and sang the album closer "Good Night".

I bought this as I had the original album years ago and am gradually replacing with cds. Great to have this fantastic music in my collection again!

A must for any CD collection. The band that changed the face of music. Every time I hear Blackbird I swear I get a lump in my throat. Get this, the red album and the blue album if you don't buy anything else this year.

One word - brilliantttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt!

this cd is a very rare form of masterwork by a group who was born ahead of there time you dont get performers like this anymore this album is exellent and every beatles fan should go out and purchase

i was happy with my item it is in good condition and the delivery was prompt

thank you and i would buy again

I first bought it on vinyl when it was first released late 60s played it a lot!album was big deal back then.Came with large photos x4, large poster which i had on bedroom wall, original top loader,and first pressing, well worn but always wanted to replace with CD.BEATLES were at there BEST, an assortment of tracks showing there great writing,still a masterpiece, any collection should have one and probably does.
As i have a large collection of vinyl,tapes, cassettes, and cds, i am always buying and up dating or replacing items.I still get a big buzz from buying music,but you can't beat a LP vinyl in its sleeve for impact and collectability, bring them BACK!

I bought this album to replace a LP disk that was lost/broken a long time ago. So this takes me back to my teenage years, this album in particular features more of their "off beat" songs, great little stories and a good fun album.

Some of the beatles best and most individual works, An album that shows them expressing their own individual styles. Highly recommended and all good tracks.

when the world was mad about the beatles, i was more into cream, deep purple,free etc; but my brother bought me this album for my christmas (only because he wanted to hear it) it kinda grew on me. it disappeared the same year, later found out he sold it..the joy of chritmas eh? tried to get the album at various markets etc; to no avail. then woe and behold the age of the laptop came into my life and there it was on ebay in d.v.d. form. i listened to it and you know what? it didn't sound the same as it did to me all those years ago when i played the l.p. on my wee record player that my auntie jenny bought me with embassy coupons.maybe i'll sell it for more headbanger music eh? but still goes to show, you always findn it in ebay. but alas will i ever find those majic years when we were young and everything seemed better than it is today? still a good d.v.d. though and the tunes stay inside your head. i remembered all the songs vividly, and knew the words which surprised me as i was never a singer ,and the music was all i listened to. hope, like me it will stir up memories for you? now i'm away to listen to status quo.4yrs and i'm a pensioner but my taste in music will always be the same. keep on rocking folks

Was after some of the beatles older records, in particular one with dear prudence and while my guitar gently weeps on. This was ideal and the service offered was excellent

exellent cd songs to die for a must for every beatles fan lyrics are out of this world a group which were born before there time 10/10

It was a gift for my dad, he loves it, It makes for good listening either at home or in the car! A really good purchase!

LOVGE THIS CD COLLECTION! A great mix of slow and faster melodies for all moods. Personal fave Back in the USSR.

Excellent album would recommend that you buy it at the next available opportunity, it has given me and my mum hours of listing pleasure.

use to have the original in the 70s but on vinyl. wanted it now on cd to play in car. genuine cd (not like the copies you can get in the market. ) great sound quality cd. good price and fast service .

This CD is a good opportunity to be able to listen to this excellent Beatles music without the scratches and age sounds which are bound to be on your vinyl copy after all these years. Anyone who hasn't heard this album yet - get it and hear some classic Beatles music.

If you like the early beat pop of the beatles or the later works such as Revolver you will love the White Album! It is everything good about the Beatles. From the heart felt Julia to the slightly bizarre Everyone's got something going on apart from me and my monkey!

A must own for any lover of the Beatles, 60's or 70's music or music in general.

Simpley put: As brilliant as it is beautiful!!

I bought the white album by the Beatles because I am a primary teacher and we were doing a poetry recital.My class acted out Rocky Racoon and it was a huge success.I buy from ebay because I am a busy,busy teacher and I find it quicker to buy online instead of going to town and eating into my already busy schedule.I have bought loads of items either for school or for my family and I can honestly say I have never had any negative experiences.
Thankyou ebay XX

This is another stage in the Beatles expanding their Musical Skills. You either love them or you dont. They do appeal to a wide age group of people, I feel the music is still as fresh now as it was then. Many rock Stars come and go, The Beatles however seem to go on for ever albeit via their music only. In turn they have influenced others to take the music and progress in different directions. Long Live the Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!
