Description
The Beatles - THE WHITE ALBUM (2 record set) is a FACTORY SEALED UK White Vinyl Limited Edition LP release #PMC-7067-8, PCS-7067-8. This album was purchased by myself on a trip to England when I was in college and has sat in a temperature controlled room ever since. This is perhaps the greatest record ever produced and to still be Factory Sealed almost 40 yrs later is remarkable. This is a must have for all Beatles fans and Collectors. Look at my feedback and bid with extreme confidence. I will refund your money if you are in any way unhappy with the record.
Each song on the sprawling double album The Beatles is an entity to itself, as the band touches on anything and everything they can. This makes for a singularly gripping musical experience. Never before had a rock record been so self-reflective, or so ironic; the Beach Boys send-up "Back in the USSR" and the British blooze parody "Yer Blues" are delivered straight-faced, so it's never clear if these are affectionate tributes or wicked satires. Lennon turns in two of his best ballads with "Dear Prudence" and "Julia"; scours the Abbey Road vaults for the musique concrete collage "Revolution 9"; pours on the schmaltz for Ringo's closing number, "Good Night"; celebrates the Beatles cult with "Glass Onion"; and, with "Cry Baby Cry," rivals Syd Barrett. McCartney doesn't reach quite as far, yet his songs are stunning — the music-hall romp "Honey Pie," the mock country of "Rocky Raccoon," the ska-inflected "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," and the proto-metal roar of "Helter Skelter." Clearly, the Beatles' two main songwriting forces were no longer on the same page, but neither were George and Ringo. Harrison still had just two songs per LP, but it's clear from "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," the canned soul of "Savoy Truffle," the haunting "Long Long Long," and even the silly "Piggies" that he had developed into a songwriter who deserved wider exposure. And Ringo turns in a delight with his first original, the lumbering country-carnival stomp "Don't Pass Me By." None of it sounds like it was meant to share album space together, but somehow The Beatles creates its own style.
