Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com essential recording
Better known as the "White Album," this remastered version of the Beatles' 1968 classic was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even Paul could still rock, and the amazing thing about "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knockoffs to reggae to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. --Chris Nickson

3.0 out of 5 stars A five star album given a one star treatment, January 12, 2000
By Brian O'Marra (Little Rock, AR USA) - See all my reviews
The above rating is not for the quality of the Beatles' performances. The album rates up there with Sgt. Pepper, Revolver, Rubber Soul and Abbey Road.

Let me then explain why it deserves the rating. At the time of its initial release on vinyl, the music portrayed an encyclopedia of music styles: from hard rock (Helter Skelter), to blues (Yer Blues), to jazz (Honey Pie), to country (Rocky Raccoon), to Beach Boys surf (Back In The USSR).

Its cover was inspired by the white art of Yoko and individually numbered like works of art. In fact number 1 has recently turned up. Then in 1987, it was released on CD on two separate discs packaged together in a longbox.

Then later it was repackaged in a double CD clamshell which was the start of its downfall. It listed the songs for Disc One, and then Dics (sic) Two. As far as I am aware this gaffe still exists.

Then we come to this latest repackaging. Yes, it was a nice way to commemorate the 30th anniversary by presenting it in a mini album format complete with gatefold sleeve, poster, and four mini pictures of the Beatles. However, one begs the question: why wasn't it remastered?

Sgt. Pepper was to be remastered in mono for its 30th anniversary. That was pulled much to the fans displeasure. Then the execs at Apple didn't want to pass up on the White Album, so they simple dressed up the packaging, charged extra, and left the remastering circa 1987!

Why not put out the mono mix? Pigg
