Beatles In Mono, The [Remastered] - Beatles (The)

The Blank Canvas of The Beatles!

Advantages: One of the most amazing collections of songs you will ever hear - so varied and exciting
Disadvantages: There are some weak links and some songs you do really wonder about...

Loves You? but also takes them back to their passion of Rock ?N? Roll music, all rounded up and tied together with experimental sounds and riffs that a critically acclaimed album such as ?Sgt. Pepper?s had given them the confidence to continue to work with and expand upon. ?The White Album? is pretty much a blank canvas as the band take so many different, colourful directions that it?s difficult to determine exactly how the album might have sounded if the band had worked solidly together on each and every track. 1968?s album release is arguably the most important release in the bands later history; yes, ?Sgt. Peppers? was more than a little daring and had an original theme but really, it can be classed as an evolution of the previous album, ?Revolver?. I?m not putting either of those albums down; ?Revolver? is perhaps my favourite Beatles ...

Review of Beatles, The (The White Album) - Beatles (The)

The Beatles (The White Album)

Advantages: A good excuse to re-discover a great album.
Disadvantages: You may have bought it a couple of times before.

Having recently re-discovered this album I had forgotten just how great it is. The album contains classics such as 'Helter Skelter', 'Yer Blues', 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' and Harrison's awesome 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. In my opinion this is a sometimes overlooked album when the Beatles catalogue is considered and often remains a source of disagreement between fans. For me 'The White Album' remains an incredible and often ambitious piece of work. In my opinion 'Happiness is a Warm Gun' contains one of Lennon's best vocals and the instrumentation is beautiful throughout, especially McCartney's bass parts and Harrison's playing on 'While my Guitar Gently Weeps'. Despite containing a few of my least favourite Beatles songs I still find it full of inventive lyrics and interesting musical ideas. For me a genuine classic. ...

Review of Beatles, The (The White Album) - Beatles (The)

A Day In The Minds Of The Beatles.

Advantages: The epitome of an era and a generation.
Disadvantages: Probably won't be as greatly regarded by future generations....

fifth anniversary since their first recording session with EMI. The Beatles had always been the fore runners of changing music since 1962, and here they were, again, but , this time, changing music on a global scale, they were to become enormous influences on bands from then on. The cover was put together with such work that the cover in itself was said to be more expensive to create than most other entire albums of the same era. Made up of famous and infamous faces from past and present it also gives us a little insight to the personal acquaintances who had stepped through the Beatles own lives. Notably, number thirty five, (the inside page gives the outlines of the same collage of faces from the front and numbers each head and notes their names to the correct numbers) is the face of Stu Sutcliffe, once, very best friend of John when ...
