@@elliepond5984 I guess you didn't know that Ringo is susceptible to grave illnesses and has nearly died several times in his life. He also has terrible allergies, and it's probably a good thing that he doesn't shake hands. A man I admired named Paul Harvey (he's dead now) used to say that shaking hands was a bad idea, he didn't do it, but rather saluted or bumped elbows, because such contact spread sicknesses. So, maybe you should cut the guy some slack.

[@michaelszczys8316]

I read in magazine interview of Ringo where he said the favorite session ever for him was one where in recording this album one day they were waiting for George and he was going to be late or maybe not going to show up and John just got in the mood and started jamming playing blues and Ringo started jamming and that’s when they recorded Yer Blues. Something John was champion at but you almost never heard him play. Another place you can hear him play blues is on a video of Frank Zappa concert where Frank wanted him to come and play with them and he did but he brought Yoko along ( of course ) and he did a ‘ Stray Cat ‘ kind of blues with Yoko making horrendous cat sounds. It might have been an awesome recording but Yoko wrecked it. Frank Zappa’s band started making fun of her and John got all pissed off. Frank was pissed too because he wanted to jam with John Lennon not his icky sidekick that nobody liked. She sure wrecked a lot of things, I don’t think anybody liked her except John

The fact that it is so sprawling and goes in so many different directions musically means that it's influenced a lot of different people, proto-metal, gentle folk, country, music hall, ska, blues, musicals. They had a go at anything they wanted to do musically in one of the best studios in the world that they had the run of with no time pressures. After Pepper they were in a position where they had the clout to do whatever the ***k they wanted and the White Album was the sound of that freedom.

Even though I feel 'Revolver' is their best album as well as the best of all time, if I put on a Beatles' album, it will be 'The White Album'. It feels like a journey as it goes from a relatively benign feel and becomes more ominous along the way and ends up in 'Revolution 9'. Having lived through the Manson killings and experienced the Beatles' influence back them, I can almost see how a kook like Manson could interpret the album as he did. When you still have people running around convinced that Paul is dead based on album clues, you get an idea of how rooted the band was and still is in modern mythology.

[@TonysMusicChannel]

Great video as usual BUT I need to clear something up. When you say that this is their best selling album, it's a misleading statement because you're leaving out a BIG detail. The RIAA counts two disc albums as double the sale of a single album. So if The White Album sells 10 million copies, it's officially counted as 20 million. So really, it's not their biggest seller in terms of individual packages.

I recently listened to The Beatles catalogue, and I have to say, although I really enjoy the White Album, and it has some of my favorite songs on it, many of them I play myself on the guitar, it sounds very disjointed to me when you listen to it from beginning to end. You can really hear that they are not playing together. Not to say that's anything new in their catalogue. You know that "Yesterday" is a McCartney song, and "In My Life" is a Lennon song. It's just when you spread it across two albums, it comes to the forefront. I agree with Martin's assessment, a single album may have been a better . But it's still a fantastic in many ways.

I think that people initially had a more difficult time with the White Album because it was yet another unexpected change in the Beatles' musical style. They had been producing very slick, polished albums using increasingly sophisticated instrumentation and the White Album was a complete 180 from all that. The songs have stripped-down arrangements, and the performances are good, but not perfect. The sound was thin and stark compared to previous albums. In retrospect, we know that the Beatles weren't working together as well as before, but at the time, we just knew that something was different. Once people got past the sonic differences from previous albums, they saw that these songs were more personal, intimate, raw and real than anything they'd done before, and those are the reasons why the White Album is one the Beatle's greatest.

[@SeanMacadelic]

To me Martha My Dear is the saddest and happiest song I’ve ever heard. It brings tears to my eyes when I think how much I love my girl dog, and how to her, I am her entire world. It’s a true song about unconditional love and it makes me reflect on my life and hers.

[@curtandoscar]

This is one of my very favorite Beatles albums and contains among my very favorite John songs ever - really, other than Revolution 9, ALL of his contributions are absolutely top notch - hands down some of his best work. I particularly love Happiness is a Warm Gun (that haunting "she's not a girl who misses much" makes my hair stand on end to this day); Cry Baby Cry (that accordion sound, which was apparently a harmonium, the tea sound effects); Glass Onion (that sarcastic mocking message for the "Paul is dead" crowd is just amazing and so John); Bungalow Bill (the wonderful humor ("in case of accident he always took his mum" and "if looks could kill it woulda been us instead of him", and the little Spanish accent on "all the children sing!") Julia is positively haunting - you needn't know the back story to sense that this is about a dead girl. Even as a kid I found the line "when I cannot sing my heart, I can only speak my mind" just heartbreaking - he was always speaking his mind and increasingly getting into trouble for it. Of course, the dig at the Maharishi, Sexy Sadie ("we gave her everything we owned just to sit at her table"). And who doesn't love that joyous screamer, Everybody's Got Something to Hide, cowbell and all. I have been known to speed down the highway playing it at top volume (singing/screaming along) with the windows down. Dear Prudence is just gorgeous - every note of it. The slow, bluesy Revolution is fantastic. Is there another Beatles song that had two completely different official releases, other than maybe the German language versions of I Wanna Hold Your Hand/She Loves You? And to boot they did a video. Yer Blues is another Lennon classic. Love the story that he wanted the band to release it as a single - a song about heroin withdrawal containing the lines "the eagle picks my eye, the worm he licks my bone", followed by a line about suicide and a reference to Mr Jones. This is as cutting edge Lennon as you will get. .

My favourite album of theirs, I tend to like the real raw brutal truth in music and I think the White Album is who The Beatles really were, whether we like it or not, particularly at the time. The good, the bad and the ugly, its all laid bare for us to witness with little filter or airbrushing. It might have had tension and division but it also had them playing together as a rock n roll band again after so much studio overdubs on previous albums. It's still surprising that such a huge band had the balls to release an album that had about 100 different genres slapped together. What a rollercoaster it is.

The HollyHobs I feel the complete opposite.. can’t see myself saying “a dolls house” is my favorite beatle album

[@swirlingfudge]

Creepy title, and makes me think of the ‘butcher’ cover

[@stpaulimdog]

I could just see the cover with an actual doll house with Beatle figurines peeking their heads out of it.

Diese Platte gehört zu meinen 10 all-time favorites - und ich habe in meinem Leben eine Menge Musik gehört. Ein bunter Strauß an Musik verschiedenster Stilrichtungen von belanglos bis Avantgarde. Danke dafür und für die interessanten Fakten rund um dieses Album!

[@mariamkakhadze1812]

It may sound crazy and all but I really really get ringo And maybe not only me I think every one of us feels left out once in a while and it's good to have someone like these thee I just love them

[@Bsandri87]

I just came across your channel today, and it’s excellent material. I’m a huge Beatles fan and am glad to have found this. Thank you and keep up the great work!

[@MsTimothyswan]

I totally agree - The White Album is perhaps the very best album The Beatles ever produced and recorded. it is a slam-bang masterpiece

[@QuentinRichardson-supersnail]

I used to live near Esher - It's pronounced EEsher,

[@ipsurvivor]

Ironically, when John and Yoko recorded Double Fantasy John insisted that they both record SEPARATELY!!!

[@timothysullysullivan2571]

guess he wanted to have some hits!

[@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv]

I don’t think this is true

[@skysmindgarden]

John knew that Yoko would distract him probably

[@JoaoGabriel-lk9cv]

Do you guys know that John was Yoko’s biggest fan, right? He loved the idea that half of the Double Fantasy album was of Yoko’s songs

[@ipsurvivor]

Joao Gabriel 👍

This album is the best album for me and absolutely is great cuz is the Beatles.. Thank u from kuwait 🇰🇼

[@someone9687]

I love The White Album, it's creative and very diverse, you can find any type of music you want in it, it's great and influenced the music after like A LOT, it's kind of underrated in the fandom.

[@guy1900763]

Tensions between band members tends to bring out the best in them.Its like they have something to prove.For example Fleetwood Macs masterpiece Rumours was recorded during a period when members were hurting and hating each other.Music is about capturing the moment,the drama,excitement,which is captured on the brilliant White Album.

[@HEWHOTAWNS]

Woah the editing is phenomenal! Keep up the amazing vids

[@jeffmagee8109]

My favorite Beatle album is what ever I'm listening to at the time because I like them all for different reasons but The White Album is a top pic for me when looking at all albums by any artist.

[@tomlopes1977]

Beautiful Explanation Of The White LP, & It Was An Explosion For The Beatles!

[@HSMiyamoto]

I love the diversity of sounds on "The Beatles." That's why it tops Beatles sales. Only a couple songs sound like each other, e.g. "Blackbird" and "Mother Nature's Son." Side 4 is an awesome example, starting with Doo Wop pastiche, winding through Cry Baby Cry and ending with Revolution 9 and Goodnight. Side 1 is also amazing, starting with Back in the USSR and ending with Happiness is a Warm Gun. "So Sgt. Pepper took you by surprise", but the White Album is out of sight.

[@offtherealm5438]

A college buddy once gave me a White vinyl import of the "White Album". And this Christmas passed, my kids got me a White record player to play it on.

[@brandonmis7401]

No mention of George cruising over to Clapton's to grab him and coerce him in to play lead on While My Guitar Gently Weeps? That's my favorite fact about that song.

[@mr.j1400]

And thank you, you always take me down memory lane but you add things about the Beatles and I thought I knew all about seeing how I grew up with them as a teenager in Ferndale Michigan,Used to fall asleep at night listening to their music

[@geoffgane4861]

Helen of Troy is said to have had the face that launched 1000 ships. Helter Skelter had the chords and rhythm that launched Heavy Metal. Without that classic, we would never have had Black Sabbath, Zeppelin nor Purple. Thank you, guys. Long Live Paul and Ringo!

[@mikelig8365]

you delivered a very good read, better than 90% of all of the audio book narrators I hear.. Thanks

[@georgeguja6155]

I am eating McVitties while watching Great video by the way I really like The White Album it's such a great and crazy album so many different things and the boy's creativity was on full display here without the psychedelic experimentation they had on Revolver and Sgt Pepper Lonely Hearts Club Band

I remember in the late 70's I paid $19.99 for the White Album on white vinyl released on the Apple label, it was on sale regular price was $29.99. That was an unheard of price back then (even the sale price).

[@mrcell61]

Great video. The one thing I would add is that the Peter Jackson movie exposed the error of believing that the presence of Yoko Ono was "a distraction" or "off putting".

[@MrUnderdog-vn3zf]

Thank you for the great video! 😁👍🏻

[@vicariousgamer2871]

I really appreciate your work and channel here. I was 2 years old when they arrived in the US, so you could say that I've enjoyed their music from the get go. Interesting stuff to learn after so many years of listening to their music. Glad that you've decided to put this info into a comprehensive format. Thanks and keep up the good work. -VG

[@MrMurph73]

So good to have somewhere to come to to validate my Beatles obsession :)

[@naseerkhan9044]

From this Album Geroge Harrison is no more a silent Beatle when he did while my guitar gently weeps the masterpiece 🎸

[@anthonymorris5084]

Greatest band of all time.

[@jasperhalsey8574]

Best song is While My Guitar Gently Weeps

[@Musicradio77Network]

There is also one fact that he doesn’t mentioned, and I might put it as a honorable mention, “Revolution 9”, one of the most experimental track that you hear on the “White Album” with just potpourri of sounds and music looped altogether in a nutshell with “Number 9” being looped over and over. There was an Easter Egg that when you play backwards, you hear the words “Turn me on, dead man”, along with clues from the “Paul Is Dead” theory. In addition, sound effects were added in there during “Revolution 9” like for example, a “Football Game” sounds or sounds of College cheers where they said “Hold that line” and “Block that kick” where used for the “Authentic Sound Effects” album series courtesy of Jac Holzman, the founder of Elektra Records, the label that brought you the Doors, Carly Simon, Bread and more. And to top of all that, “Revolution 9” was the first attempt at testing out 4 channels on each of the 4 speakers for both front and rear, and that was quadraphonic which has been used since the 1970’s as an early attempt at 4-channel surround sound which was made for all 3 compatible systems, SQ, QS and CD-4. I like SQ better, because I have an SQ decoder to go with my stereo receiver and amplifier.

[@russellszabadosaka5-pindin849]

When I finally broke down and bought a CD player in 1989, I bought 3 CDs the next day. Duke by Genesis, Permanent Waves by Rush and The White Album. It’s a masterpiece.

[@georgeorr1042]

Yes. My favorite album ever - but as an 18 track mix :). Sometimes its a band effort and sometimes its solo effort - for the songs. But it still feels like Beatles. There is something heavy, haunting about it that draws me in. They went somewhere “deep” while in India.

[@selewachm]

Thank you for the mention of Family. That band was just fantastic! Fearless and Bandstand are just the best. Sorry, didn't mean to hijack. I bought the White Album the day it came out. Love how the raised cover text discolored over time.

[@markukeley2924]

Well done as always. Thank you so much!

[@timharold9818]

Ay just in time for my lunch break. Thanks Boss!

i buyd me the White Album yesterday i love it

[@Snoopy7666]

The White Album (or, "The Beatles") is my second favorite Beatles album, second only by a smidge behind Abbey Road... and like most Beatles fans, my favorite Beatles album and my favorite Beatles song does change from time to time, depending upon other circumstances. I love everything on Abbey Road... and there are only a tiny few cuts in the "The Beatles" (aka, The White Album) that I can either take... or leave .

[@imbluz]

I like the White Album. It's eerie, melancholy, elliptic and very free in its delivery. Some of the songs are mesmerizing. It's not everyone's cup of tea and it's not exactly what I would call pop du jour, but it's good listening.

[@julianisplayinmusic1365]

I love the music you put at the end of your videos... It’s so beautiful and peaceful

[@aceofknaves6296]

Take this, brother, may it serve you well... The White Album is great... Because it's almost like being naked.

[@biggawinnacrapsa3870]

Notice that the lone guitar pluck 'that holds it all together' like Lebowski's carpet, occurs at 4:20.

[@dixonpinfold2582]

And you become naked. That's the only good thing she ever contributed to the Beatles; the rest was tedious or destructive, or both. Who never lost a friend, man or woman, to some spider?

[@brent3760]

This is by far my #1 Album ever!
