[Music] Happy birthday White Album

[Me and my Monkey]

For me this was by far the best of all the Beatles works - and astonishing to think that just 5 years earlier they had been 4 loveable head bobbing mop tops churning out simple (but brilliant) pop songs. Did ever a group evolve so completely? So, what’s your favourite track? I’m choosing Dear Prudence, Sexy Sadie, Happiness is a Warm Gun, and I Will. Oh, that’s four...

Helta-skelta is my favourite but, as you say, it is overall a brilliant album with few tracks that I don’t particularly like. Unlike some I am looking forward to hearing the remastered version and some of the Esher tapes, just to get a flavour of the development of some of the songs.

Warm Gun is probably my favourite Beatles song. Julia is up there as well.

But then it also includes Obladioblada and Piggies which are utter shite.

You won't be disappointed.

the clarity is superb, even makes Ringo sound like a propper drummer !

 

[Is it PotG?]

I still prefer 'The Best of The Beatles'.

Or Wings ?

They're only the band The Beatles could have been

Do NOT buy this, it is a fake as it has no number bottom right given the original vinyl release was numbered, as the super deluxe anniversary copies are

 

[mejonaNO12 aka riskit]

I like Ob-La-Di, Ob-la-Da.

There. I said it.

I am what I am.

I am what I am.

I prefer the Gloria Gaynor version.

What an album...
With thirty songs, not everyone is going to like them all (there are some duffers), as its such a diverse, eclectic mix of musical styles.
Remember, this is the follow up to Sgt Pepper.... The recent super deluxe box set has made me realise its probably my favourite album of all time. Definitely for my desert island. Every time I go back to it I usually re-discover another song I hadn't appreciated before.

Bought my copy from NEMS in Liverpool the day before it was officially released - no.78. Sold it a couple of years later for about thirty bob, along with the rest of my LPs to buy myself a decent guitar.
Geez, I could've bought a bloody Martin (and not one of the 'cheap' Mexican ones either!) with it if I'd hung on to it until now!

I suppose if The Beatles had wanted to be crap and never really make it, I guess they could have been. Lucky for McCartney that he was in The Beatles first!

Wow! Mine’s number 56,000-ish. Might be worth £1.50.

If I still had mine, you could probably add a couple of noughts to that!


Oh well, win some, lose some as they say!
