Yessss

[@goonbelly5841]

The White Album is my favorite Beatles album. It doesn't necessarily contains their biggest hit songs but I still think it's their best album. The sheer variety of inspiration is amazing.

[@MrRiverfeverwa]

Can you imagine hearing this as a die hard teenage Beatles fan the day this album was released? Man I can and yes I did! We were all looking for 'hidden' tracks and loved every beat of every mind blowing new incredible song! I've never lost that wonder and enthusiasm for the band and each addition projects that all put out.

[@lizze490]

Yeah, I remember it fondly- what an amazing time it was.💜💙🧡💛💚

[@YN97WA]

I can remember it. I played it until the record was so scratched up I had to balance three coins on the arm to keep it from skipping. Even my grandkids love the Beatles now. We were so lucky to have grown up when they was fab. 💚

[@sirajaxl]

Thanks for the gift to supporters and subscribers.

[@alpetrocelli4465]

My favorite Beatle’s album. So many super tunes. Great review. ✌️❤️🎶

[@michaelt6218]

After the basic song recordings were done, Paul and John worked closely together to plan the album's sequencing. They came up with ideas to blend each track into the next, sometimes fitting in some random piece of music or sound to make it all work. Anyway, I'm so glad you let yourself listen to each side uninterrupted, so you can appreciate the amazing artistic flow.

[@pezi873]

When it came out, Side 1 was played completely on radio. I managed to record it with a simple cassette recorder. I didn’t have the money to buy the LP, I was 13yrs old, and so I played that on cassette every day over and over again. At 70, to me it is still the best LP-side ever. Great review, man 👍

[@jimwillride]

You take on a lot, and I love it. Thanks for this.

Hey man, I have the best community a creator could ask for. I will do what I can for yall. Even if it endangers me! lol

Perhaps the best two LP set ever imagined and produced. It even outlived the USSR. Bang, bang, shoot, shoot!

[@davidschecter5247]

Still remember the first time I heard the album, when it came out. An overflowing of riches. There was an FM radio station back in New York that played all 30 songs repeatedly for at least 24 hours the day the album was released.

[@Doug_Piranha]

The Walrus WAS John; you can see it on the "Magical Mystery Tour" cover (and in the film?). But because of this ... "The walrus refers to Lewis Carroll's poem "The Walrus and the Carpenter" (from the book Through the Looking-Glass). Lennon later expressed dismay upon belatedly realising that the walrus was a villain in the poem." (Wikipedia) ... I guess John rather have Paul taking that role. 😄

I had The White Album #1273. They had numbers imbedded into the cover when it came out. I wore that vinyl album out. I wish everyone could know the excitement, the crazy vibes you got when you brought a brand new Beatles album home and stuck it on the turntable....It was just a SUPER high that you don't get anymore from listening to music.

both Paul & Ringo on Dear Prudence. Ringo does the drum fills towards the end of the song.

Thanks for sharing that fact! 👍

When they went to India their friend Prudence Farrow had a bad LSD trip and wouldn't come out of her quarters. The song is about them trying to talk her down and to come out to join them.

Bungalow Bill was based on a real dude who killed a tiger in India. Lennon was pissed. The dude looked to the teacher, his mother said “it was us or him”. Their guru was not happy either and said “senseless death is senseless death”. The guy said the tiger was never a threat and never hunted again.

[@mikewa2]

I bought this 2 days before official release in London. Still got the LP - number on front 18436, it’s not in good condition cos I played it to death on a rubbish record player. I try not to play it too much, the groove is soo deep!! Dear prudence and the remastered version - sublime

[@mikefetterman6782]

Paul did a little drumming on this album ONLY because Ringo was fed up with the alienation and left the group for a few weeks during the recording of the album. He went to Albufeira, Portugal on a pot and booze holiday, where he wrote Octopuses garden.

[@mikefetterman6782]

Dear Prudence was the first Beatle song I learned to play on guitar so it always has a special place for me. That is John's song about Mia Farrow's (married to Woody Allen for a while later) sister was hiding in her room, avoiding the Maharishi, whose preaching about avoiding the temptations of the flesh, while also being very creepy towards some of the women, causing John, and Paul, and Ringo to realize he was just a horny, giggling little man.

[@michaeldezego340]

I’ve read some things disparaging this album, saying it should have been just a single album. When the album was released in 1968 I was 9 years old and I listened to it all the time. I loved it then and I still love it.

[@lizze490]

Yeah- same here- loved it then and now- I was in 6th or 7th grade.

Heard this album dozens of times. Never get tired of it. All 30 tracks! Dear Prudence arguably my favourite Beatles tracks & in my all time top ten songs. ❤

[@larshenrikfabrin7640]

I'm glad I got to see this on KZbin, I enjoyed it a lot. The White Album is actually my favorite Beatles album - so special. Recently, I stumbled across a a video on KZbin telling the story behind the song 'The continuing Story of Bungalow Bill', which I found very interesting, I had never heard that in so much detail. I think the song has several layers to it though, I have always felt one layer of it was being an anti-war song reflecting about the Vietnam war going on at the time this album was released. I hope I get to watch the other 3 sides as well.

[@hopeklemann1]

🌸LEE !! your numbers are finally coming up !!!

[@sharonpeterson5415]

The story is that John, while looking through a magazine, saw a picture of a hunter posing with his kill, and the caption read, "Happiness Is A Warm Gun".

A new Beatles album was always the highlight of Christmas when I was young. This one in particular is so memorable. When all the gifts had been opened, the wrapping disposed of, the meal eaten and that sense of ‘it’s all over now’ setting in, playing and exploring this gem was the gift that kept on giving. For a Long, Long Time. Your playing this for us is a HUGE gift! Thank you!

[@yournamehere6002]

Paul had a happy, intact family and John was raised by his aunt because his mother died and had no contact with his father. Their songs reflect that. Together, they're yin yang and a complete unit.

[@1ABELOVE]

i'd like to heat what you think of the use of many instruments and their musical prowess and technique .. they were forging new grounds each year

[@davidrauh8118]

That's Paul playing drums on Back In The USSR. You can tell, he keeps it simple.

[@TheCornishCockney]

A “warm gun” was slang back then for a heroin injection. Smack was very popular in the late 60’s and early seventies. Ruined lots of lives. My take is that John is being flippant.

[@jenscee7679]

Watching it now dude. Possibly the best album ever made (any of their last four proper albums could be.) Happiness is a warm gun is my favourite song by them.

[@bobd7855]

Some of the best music ever made!

[@SANPARR1]

While my guitar gently weeps is one of the best compositions I have ever heard. George Harrison's contribution to the Beatles was fantastic.

[@NoviJimB]

'Dear Prudence' is one of my all-time favorite songs. I was eight when I was listening to this all the time - thank you, older siblings! I started listening to them right from the beginning (the beginning here in the US). So many great memories listening back then. The diversity on this album is ridiculous, they're all over the place without disappointing - well, there's a couple of songs I could live without, but hey, as Paul once said, 'it's the f-ing Beatles!'. As a kid I only listened to sides 1 and 2, then when I was about 14 I 'discovered' the other album.

[@ferpiopiogm]

The bass line on Dear Prudence is fantastic, and when you hear the drums on Back Of The USSR you can tell Macca's the main drummer on Dear Prudence, though it's said three of them played on it

[@netuno60]

Great album of the best ever band. I was 14 and this was mind blowing. Thank you for your reaction Lee.

[@RandyHall324]

Got to watch it! That's an experience, huh?

[@billbitterman9487]

I know that there is just a huge amount of praise for Prince's solo on this song but for me, it still pales compared to Clapton's work on this version. His guitar truly weeps. Prince's is electrifying but doesn't serve the song the way Clapton's does. Sometimes tone and texture means much more than speed and showmanship.

[@sarahfullerton6894]

Thanks, Lee, for making this work! Cheers, and a blessed, happy Thanksgiving for you and your family!!!!

[@johncurtis7186]

The amazing thing about The Beatles, is that their “throw away” or less popular songs, if written and sung by a different group, probably would have been that band’s magnum opus, and a top 10 hit.

[@nicholasmaxwell9899]

The very end of Dear Prudence MUST be Ringo

[@kevinpolito1529]

IMO, this is the best Beatles album. It is NOT a unified theme album. It is simply a random collection of songs and snippets of songs displaying the versatility of John, Paul, George, and Ringo.

I'm glad to see this pop up on YT. With the exception of one or two tracks, I thoroughly enjoy this entire LP - including Revolution #9. To me, the White Album represents the individual personality of each of them, and of course, it contains several group efforts. They are all excellent in their own right. Note: Lennon was just messing with us in saying 'the walrus was Paul'.

It’s a bummer George was held back so much in the Beatles. Towards the end he put out some of their best songs.

[@thebigwool]

I think you provided your own explanation. His earlier songs weren’t up to scratch. His later ones were fully deserving of inclusion, and then some 🙂

[@atrus3823]

@thebigwool lots of John and Paul's earlier songs were misses as well. I think if he had more chance to try stuff, he could have developed faster, but of course it's all speculation, and we still ended up with some amazing George tracks! Just always seemed like he got a bum deal.

[@thebigwool]

@@atrus3823 It’s very telling, watching the recent Get Back documentary. John and Paul constantly holding eye contact and George and Ringo thus being effectively shut out. Old habits die hard!
