that album has Not A Second Time, whereas this has Piggies, Ob-La-Di and Revolution 9 so yes

Piggies is the worst. ā€œHey guys, do you think these lyrics might be a bit too on-the-nose?ā€ ā€œNo. Add pig noises.ā€

Sometimes I think this place is turning into cuckoo land.

Robbie Williams is a talented and respected musician, and now the White Album is worse than Beatles for Sale.

Didnā€™t get into this one really when I started listening to some of their albums when the 2009 reissues came out. Should probably have another go.

Dear Prudence is great though

#27

is it pervading the fabric of the place?

#28

I hope the 27 minute version of Helter Skelter is on this.

#29

Iā€™d say its one of the most underrated, certainly of their Revolver onwards golden period

Whether itā€™s actually best or not for whatever reason it has always been my favourite. I think itā€™s the variety in the songs. Every song is different to the next, yet they all sound from the same record, itā€™s still cohesive, despite being sprawling.

If you canā€™t be doing with the lesser tracks and want to trim it down to one album, then you have a real stunner.

No-one mentioned Blackbird? Or the Karma Police in spring Sexy Sadie?

Probably my favorite George song and heā€™s my favorite Beatle.

Itā€™s good, but I always go for Something

Loads of good tunes on the white album. Always thought Birthday was well underrated, itā€™s proper fun.

Itā€™s not. Thereā€™s a version which is around 10 minutes though.

#37

This is good

The real answer is that itā€™s both the greatest Beatles album and the worst.

Donā€™t Pass Me By is probably a nadir on there for me. Revolution No 9 is objectively terrible but has a certain ā€˜but is it artā€™ quality to itā€¦

But when itā€™s good itā€™s great. That opening trio is great. While My Guitar Gently Weepsā€¦

Thereā€™s loads to love on here and actually it can be good to listen to Anthology III alongside this.

the first time i heard revolution 9 i was coming down off an E and it was about 4 in the morning in the middle of winter. had to wake my housemate up to keep me company until i could fall asleep. i thought charles mansonā€™s ghost was in the shrubs outside. anyway i think thereā€™s a good 10 track LP to be carved out of the white album.

Proper warts-and-all double album. Personally, I love it.
