Subject: The Beatles (White Album) 1968 Author: Treg [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 23:06:49 11/27/04 Sat A full year had elapsed since the Beatles last lp release when their self titled, stark white double album on their new Apple label hit the stores. This followed the death of manager Brian Epstein, an ill-fated retreat with Maharishi, Yoko getting naked with John, George quitting and un-quitting, Ringo quitting and un-quitting, the disaster of the Apple boutique, the announcement of their own record company and the release of "Hey Jude/Revolution". There is something eerie about this album. It is as if the Beatles know something that you dont and they're not telling. Its as if the Beatles have been beyond what we know as reality, an alterior universe that only few have been privelaged to experience. Ringo bellows his first of two self penned Beatles songs with "Dont Pass Me By". George gets four superb songs. One of his best "Not Guilty" was left off the album and only found on rare bootlegs untill the "Anthology" release in 1997. Paul becoming increasingly 'shmaltzy' throws a couple of surprises with "Back In The U.S.S.R." and the mind blowing "Helter Skelter". All of Johns contributions are epic. The most progressive of all is "Revolution #9" not really a song, but a montage of sounds pushing studio experimentation to its limits. There is no 'concept' to this package, but it flows beautifully. C-4 A-4 G-5 A-5 [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]
