The Beatles Nightmare Recording The White Album

The story of the beatles white album

[mpemberton]

The White Album may not be the Beatles' best album, but it's my favorite because it's a sort of chaotic journey into the world of a band that was falling apart at the seams . The songs are tender and personal, wild and unrestrained, straight up rockers and straight up ballads, blues and country, intelligent and stupid, witty and ridiculous, sublime and heavy. They threw just about everything they could churn out into a musical stew and let it cook into a glorious mess of a double LP. That's why I love it!

I remember buying The White Album, as soon as it came out. I was 12. Me and my brothers opened the album in my bedroom and played it on my little plastic record player. I was the most excited because my brothers were not into music, and I was the only one that played an instrument (alto-sax). Oh, and I saw The Beatles, Live on my 9th b-day !
Aug1965Portland OR The Beatles can do no wrong and I love everything about The White Album.
I wasn't that upset when they broke up. They had given the World soo much, already. People grow and move on.

The White Albums always been my favourite Beatles record. It’s incredibly eclectic and wonderfully imaginative.. some fantastic tunes that possibly wouldn’t have ever come to life had they worked together as one.

Great video too btw - really well put together mate.. interesting, informative and nicely paced! 👏🏻

Even with all the chaos brewing in the band. The White Album is a masterpiece.

What they should've done was take a year off from each other, each produce their own solo album, then get back to together and be the Beatles again.
Time was simply moving too fast for them. They had to grow up, grow old and get tired of each other all in a span of just 10 years. They each changed and grew so much during that 10 year time span. Way more than most of us do.

Even under the worst of circumstances, The Beatles created genius work.

I'm so glad I was young, and unaware of any of the drama.
The White Album was perfect. Perfect.

The stuff about Blackbird being recorded outdoors is wrong, it was all done in the studio. The birds are from a sound effects tape. God bless Geoff Emerick but his book has a whole bunch of factual errors.

I love this album, one of my favorite albums really.

Expertly edited. Extremely, well-sourced. Securely tied together by narration that tells its story, faithfully. Yours is among the very best Beatle-docs. Many thanks!

This is very well done I know a lot about the Beatles and the White Album but I still learned some new things from this video

It may have been hell to record, but the result is heaven and that's all that really matters.

The White Album was the beginning of the end for the Beatles because of the internal friction and stress going on with the band during the recording of the album but having said that this turned out to be a remarkable musical experience for the greatest band in the history of rock pop music I remember the first time I listened to it, it blew my mind, incredibly versatile one song different from the next there will never be anything like it again a timeless classic, the Beatles will never be forgotten!

It's extraordinary how interested people are in the creation of Beatles' material. Digging into the psychological aspects, rumours and innuendoes surrounding the group. I simply enjoy the music.

[Agripapost]

Love each of these anecdotes. Really shine some light on aspects of the band you won’t hear about in any official media.

The "Buffalo Springfield Again" album showed that band members didn't have to be unified to create a great album. Like the Beatles, Richie Furay, Stephen Stills, and Neil Young produced solo recordings and they became the album. Both albums were great, but ultimately both bands were finished within a year of those albums. Thank you for the great video!

I'm 70 yrs old and remember seeing the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1964 ( I was 10 yr old then) (we only have a 10" black and white tv we kept on the kitchen table) The White Album is a great album for the simple fact that it is far above the Beatles songs that made them famous in the US such as I Want To Hold Your Hand, All my Lovin', (And yet these songs where great for that time)

[hejla]

A shout out to the engineers and producers who had to put up with working with the Beatles.

Even with all the drama The Beatles created a masterpiece.
