The Beatles "White Album" 30th Anniversary EditionReview created: 03/24/08

It is just like the original LP from 1968, just in a smaller package. I have wanted this ever sense I saw the one my ex-girlfriend had back in 2001. Great collectors item.

Versatile Beatles White Album0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
I think this is a great album by The Beatles! Versatility is the theme on this album. They one time rock out and then go to blues and then to a easy listening sound etc. Don't expect to hear 1964 type style music on this album even though there are some traces on it. I think it was a well done album and a true classic. Any Beatles fans should include this golden great in their library! Recommended!!

Great song collection0 of 1 people found this review helpful.
All selections on the album are great except for Revolution 9. Wanted this ever since it came out in vinyl, but couldn't afford it. Especially for Birthday. I like to hear this on my special day.

I'm really happy with this purchase.I paid a fair price for it and I liked what I got.I know that this is the space for a review,so here goes:Most of you reading this will already be familiar with the "White Album".The reason to get this version of it is if ,like me,you're into collectibles.The CDs are packaged like a miniature copy of the album and each CD comes housed in it's own paper sleeve just like records used to.Other neat things include digipak packaging(to resemble a cardboard album cover),embossed lettering on the front(just like the original album)and miniature reproductions of the posters and lyric sheet that came with the original record.Although I bought this used(which is probably the only way you'll find it),I was pleased to find that both discs played fine.I've never owned the traditional 2 CD set of this album because I always felt that it was too expensive.So not only did I pay a fair price on this,I also got a neat collectible to boot.I highly recommend purchasing these CDs in this format.

The sprawling double-album *The Beatles* (or the "White Album") served not only as a document of the group's disintegration but as a blueprint of the four's future solo careers. The album itself is really composed of songs written and sung by the individual members with the others serving as backup. No longer did one find examples of the group chemistry or ensemble performance present in the earlier works that established them as THE '60s band. Here you can see the distinct personalities and styles of the individual members showcased for better or for worse.
*The Beatles* contained spare, bare-bones production that served to highlight the songs. The individual members outgrew some of the limitations that the group format had formerly imposed on them. Thus, Lennon was able to display his angst more freely while Paul McCartney was given more free reign with his pop tendencies. Harrison explored his mystical and spiritual side while Ringo Starr was given opportunity for a couple throwaway numbers.
The variety of styles present here is staggering as the listener is reminded how versatile and encompassing the Beatles' musical reach was. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" is arguably Harrison's best song to date with its melancholy melody and lyrics (not to mention guest guitarist Eric Clapton's solo). McCartney shows his melodic gifts in simple pop-folk numbers such as "Blackbird," "Mother Nature's Son," and "I Will." As if to show that he can still rock, he adds the visceral and chaotic "Helter Skelter" that finds Paul shredding his vocal cords and the whole band creating instrumental mayhem. The consistently finest moments on the album belonged to Lennon. "Happiness Is a Warm Gun" is a surreal number that is actually three songs stitched together. "I'm So Tired" portrays exhaustion as Lennon's voice moves from intimacy to frustration. "Yer Blues" takes on a degree of autobiographical truth with Lennon's lyrics of suicide and depression and one of his most authoritarian and commanding vocal performances on a Beatles record.
There was some confusion surrounding *The Beatles* at the time, especially when it was sandwiched between *Sgt. Pepper's* and *Abbey Road*. It was clearly the least Beatlesish record in terms of spirit. Yet, it is deeper than the other two. While the songwriting in *Pepper's* leaves something to be desired, and the tone of the album at times seems maudlin and banal, and the second half of *Abbey Road* (while dazzling the first few listenings) comes up ultimately empty, *The Beatles* contains more deeper and honest moments than the other two combined. I believe it is the best album released by them............

For me to review the White Album seemed like such a monumental task to undertake and I was right. There are thirty songs on this double CD, and so much information needed to be told in order to make this an OK review. This album has been reviewed so many times before over the years, and who am I to attempt to tackle it myself? I m a Beatles fan that s who, a real devoted Beatles fan. Sure, so then I suppose that I am qualified. Will my review be bias? Of course it will. I sometimes wish I was hearing these songs for the first time, or I was just a casual listener and see what kind of review...

I first bought a copy of "The White Album" in 2002 because I was familiar with some of the songs, such as "Obla Di Obla Da" and "Bungalow Bill." Back then, I wasn't much of a Beatles fan, I was just curious to find out what the other songs sounded like on the album, so I decided to purchase a copy. I heard a few other tunes, like "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" and "Why Don't We Do It In The Road," and that was enough to stunt my curiosity until three years later. In 2005, I picked out the album again and began listening to more of the songs on the first disc. By then, I was more of a Beatles fan,..
