In May the beatles went to abbey road to record the first album they were going to release under their new company apple. The project at that time seemed simple, John and Paul had about thirty songs written almost all in india. George for his part, more than on other albums, took seriously his role in the band as the third songwriter, and Ringo also wrote his first song.
With so much material at hand, it was decided to make a double album, a format widely used for classical music but absolutely innovative in popular music, but the new album and his illusions were spoiled from the first day when Lennon entered the studio with a woman next to him, breaking all the studio rules. Also, McCartney developed an almost sick perfectionist attitude that collapsed his partners. Harrison showed more and more apathy to continue working with two beatles who never ended up taking him seriously, and tired too Ringo left the band. And with an apple that was rotting... the best band on the planet worked and sounded like no other.

The White Album marks one of the greatest epochs in music history. This album really exemplifies their songwriting prowess. And, no mater their nuances, nothing stood in their way of creating classic songs. Even though they all had many outside cultural influences, the Beatles still managed to collaborate as they did in the early days without any formula for writing songs.

My favorite album of all time. Variety, raw energy, creativity. This was the last Beatles album I bought (way after they broke up)...I was already a huge Beatles fan, and bought this last because it was expensive (double album) and in the record bin I wasn't excited about buying an album that was just white - I figured it was some throwaway album. But when I played it, I was so utterly blown away, the Beatles went into orbit for me. I wondered why I hadn't heard so many of these songs before. And Julia....wow...that rocker Lennon, could write such a touching, incredibly beautiful song about his mother put him into a whole new category.

I'm an idiot! The White Album was the last Beatles album that I ever owned and over the decades I'd forgotten the reason why. Of course, as a kid it was just too expensive, with being a double album and all. It's not my favourite album of all time, but only because I can't decide which Beatles' album is my favourite.

Ringo had actually written "Don't Pass Me By" several years earlier. There are a couple occasions in 1964 interviews when McCartney mentions Ringo having written it, and gives samples. Apparently at the time it was considered too much a "country song" for the Beatles to use.

Yes, the history of it is easy to find. Gotta wonder about the too country thing, though. "Act Naturally" got tons of airplay and they toyed with writing in the genre during the Revolver days without it resulting in any damage. To me, it seems more jug band than country, although the two are certainly closely related. I can't recall if George helped him on the song, but as a Carl Perkins fan, I wouldn't be surprised.

The Beatles could do country. Elton John did some in his early album 'Tumbleweed Connection' ("Country Comfort"). My point being the recording of "Act Naturally" (a later duet released with Ringo and Buck Owens) and "I've Just Seen a Face" has a definite country feel to it. John, as a solo artist released on his album 'Imagine' with "Crippled Inside". The band was quoted that other than R&B from America, they also listened to country tunes as well. I think The Beatles could have done a fantastic country album if they wished to.

I loved the White Album so much that I took it with me everywhere I went. No battery operated record players back then so if there wasn't electricity I didn't go. My Dad was a great piano player and he loved Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da so he played a Ragtime version it was great. They didn't realise at the time that Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da appealed to a whole generation of oldies and so they became Beatles fans, to a point of course.

I love the eclecticism of the album and feel so peeved at all those who have grumbled on about preferring it to have been a single album. The album is a historic record of the state of the group: The weak tracks, though many, are the glue that holds the classics in place. Without those weak tracks, the classics would fall through the gaps! I'm also in a minority, because I love the Musee Concrete of 'Revolution 9', particularly the use of the last two unison orchestral notes of Sibelius 7th symphony. I counted thirteen uses of these two notes! Long live the White Album!

I think they all felt after MMT things were getting stale with four previously released tracks making up its running order a new start was needed. Psychedelia was winding down Epstein their business mentor had died and 1968 represented a return to guitar based sound. Rishikesh was a well of creativity for them and introducing audiences to these well-crafted songs gave them artistic impetus. Groundbreaking album and it's importance cannot be understated. It symbolizes for me their last great run before the end.

Although the White Album's eclecticism is stunning in its breadth, it really is a harbinger of the demise of the group.

I think it's the Beatles' best and by far most interesting album. I've been a huge fan for theirs for almost 50 years now, and I grew up with the conventional narrative of their "decline," but now I think it's all just a comforting framing device we impose retroactively to turn it all into a morality tale for our own edification. I really have grown sick of the whole tired old story of how Sgt Pepper was a high point and the White Album was a low point. I personally can't stand Sgt Pepper except for "A Day in the Life," but I keep going back to the White Album, year after year. Since when do rancor and stormy relationships among artistic collaborators always equal artistic decline? Because I could probably fill a few pages off the top of my head with the names of great artistic partners who couldn't stand each other personally from the word go. These guys were all in their 20s, had been completely cooped up together for several years, their lives under a constant media microscope, and on top of that were expected to shit gold bricks every time they picked up an instrument, all while remaining cute, relatable, and affable for their fans. Leave them the fuck alone, already. Imagine being in that situation with your three best friends. Whatever bullshit was happening in their personal lives, they created some of the greatest music ever made, music that will be celebrated for centuries to come, and a lot of that music is on the White Album. Like Paul said in the Anthology documentary: "Its great! It sold! Its the bloody Beatles white album! Shut up!"

@@scrambaba Sure, the imminent breakup of the band was becoming obvious by the time of the White Album, but I'm not so concerned with biography as with the music. And what makes being a "smooth machine" better? Far too many bands have a packaged, uniform sound and seldom venture out of their commercially-delineated safe area (or are seldom allowed out of it by the bean-counters), which is boring, probably the worst thing you can say about any art. The tensions created by the assertion of the Beatles' individual personalities led to their best music. They released a string of albums that had the uniform sound everyone wanted, knocked those out of the park, and with the WA they did something different. I see it as artistic growth. They went right back to a more uniform sound for Abbey Road, and while all Beatles albums are like holy scripture to me, it's artistically a much more modest effort than the WA.

No one needs to hear half of the songs, including but especially Rev9. It’s more than 8mins long? Lol. Chop that one, lose half the McCartney nostalgia crap, drop all George songs save Weeps, boom. Perfect SINGLE album. Your musical taste does not change the fact that the band was in full decline and the music suffered for it. Let It Be and Abbey Road are 10x’s better. Not a wasted song.

I was a big fan of the Beatles, because of my parents, but I would legit hide that cd from them frequently just so they wouldn’t listen to it 🤣 Ever since, though, I’ve finally grown up to appreciate the album as brilliant.

Kinfauns was a large 1950s deluxe bungalow in Esher in the English county of Surrey, on the Claremont Estate. From 1964 to 1970, it was the home of George Harrison, lead guitarist of the Beatles. It was where many of the demo recordings for the band's 1968 self-titled double album (also known as the "White Album") were made. The bungalow has since been demolished, and another house built in its place.

Helter Skelter is literally about a playground slide -- a spiral slide at a park that was a favorite of Paul's as a kid. The kids literally called it Helter Skelter. Charles Manson, who himself was a failed song writer, and was literally insane, was convinced that the song was about hell and contained hidden messages. So he co-opted the name for his cult. But in reality the song is really a children's song, about a playground spiral slide.

Revolution was the B side to Hey Jude, it was never a single in it's own right as you then correctly state later on in the video. You are right about Ringo being missing from USSR but i believe the cause was that he was not able to drum in the way Paul wanted & got fed up so walked ( somewhat similar to what would happen with George at Twickenham ). & No Guilty ?? you mean NOT GUILTY surely. Finally the album was not really an Apple album at all, the Beatles remained contracted to EMI until 1975 but because of their power were able to get EMI to let them use the Apple label but the cat nos remained as Parlophone in the UK & Capitol in the states & the sales went to EMI's coffers not Apples.

EMI had one but were notoriously slow/thorough in vetting new equipment before putting it into use for production. The Beatles forced their hand by by getting the engineers working with them on the album to install the 8 track in the middle of the night. Once there (and in use), the powers that be let it stay.

So many songs on that album, a double album, Played it through beginning to end over and over. That album was very powerful because of the collection of songs that obviously a seminal collection. Can't imagine what it would take to put something like that together. Who would have known they were falling apart as a band at the same time they were a blaze of creativity.

McCartney drumming on Dear Prudence and Back in the U.S.S.R sounded a little bit stiff and repetitive. Ringo is more fluid and has a unique way of putting a stress a little extra flourish on the second of the four beats if the music is in 4/4. Also Ringo's fills are never repetitive. One of the best Beatles songs and time has proved this is "While my guitar gently weeps." Of all the songs on the White Album you don't lose the enthusiasm wanting to listen to it. Carlos Santana for all his great talent, dropped the ball playing While my guitar gently weeps. The Esher demo of Yer Blues is an excellent version of the original. If the Beatles wanted to make the White Album better, they should have thrown out Revolution 9 and instead kept the bluesy sound of the original Yer Blues. Magic Alex Madras, an inventor John met, took the Beatles for a ride. His supposedly new technology studio, didn't work. The setting he put up in Abbey Road, had to be ripped out, wasting time and a lot of the Beatles money. Ringo got both number 1 and 4. John gave his number 1 White Album to Ringo a few years later. There is no best Beatles album. All 13 albums are tied as my favorite. It's just like I have no favorite Beatle although I'm a Beatles fan. It's a four way tie as far as my favorite individual member of the Beatles.

However with Brian gone it left a vacuum which only Paui was prepared to fill, one of the reasons Paul took over was that John couldn't be bothered & when John bleats about becoming Pauls backing band he should look in the mirror to see why. So that was the main reason why Brian's death had such an effect, there was nobody around to say time to get off your arses other than Paul which created a very toxic dynamic.

@@valmarsiglia I’m referring to his death. How very little is written about how his death profoundly affected them each personally and professionally. Yes it is mentioned, but not a whole lot. Imho Brian’s death signaled the beginning of the end. Of course his management and contributions to helping the Beatles succeed has been written extensively about. I know that.

I love The White Album. You have to put it in context, in 1968 The Beatles had to follow the greatest album in history, Pepper. So what did they do? easy, make the greatest album in history, again!

This is an incredibly well made video, especially for a new channel. Something to note though, Blackbird was actually written about the American Civil Rights Movement, specifically the Little Rock nine. The original lyrics were "Black woman sitting in Little Rock", but were changed to "Blackbird singing in the dead of night" as to make the song and themes of perseverance more universal. Keep up the great work!

The "Civil Rights" story only started being told recently. That was never the story behind the song. It just sounds cool now.

@@docsavage8640 From what I can tell, Paul did only start telling this story in the 21st century, but I also can't find any articles of Paul talking about the genisis of this song before that period. If you know of any I'd love to see them!

I can contact Paul and Ringo. The Let it be was the album they started promoted other bands while in Abby road . They let it be album was when they started fighting. They then recorded Abby road where the put away their . Bad feelings and made a great album. Let it be was supposed to be a film as well. They got testy with each other because they had a camera in their faces. That’s when they started fighting.
