The White Album - Beatles (The) (CD 2004)

There is no question about it; the White Album is the very BEST Beatles album of all time. Now, I'm not knocking great works like Help!, Rubber Soul, Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, Magical Mystery Tour, or Abbey Road. These are all classic albums in their own unique way. But, the White Album definitely has the edge. The purest and most simple of album covers; the most diverse and eclectic variety of songs ever assembled; an extraordinary look into many worlds and styles of music in one cohesive package; a supreme showcase for the talents of John Lennon, George Harrison, Ringo Starr, and Paul McCartney. Every one of the 30 tracks in this double album is an original Beatles composition. Nowhere else can you get a more remarkable selction of songs. This is the group's songwriting and performing skills at their highest peak. In addition to the great music, there is also a poster with a collage of photographic images on one side and complete lyrics to all of the album's songs on the reverse side. Plus- there are 4 classic color photos of each individual group member. Even after the dramatic depth of sound produced in 1967, The Beatles continued to grow and succeed with this 1968 release. This was also the very first album issued on their very own record label, APPLE, following the debut of their first single from that label - "Hey Jude b/w "Revolution". It was also their only double album released during their time together. If you are looking for a Beatles album that is a must-have, then the White Album is the one for you!
