Maybe Paul really wrote “why don’t we do it in the road” as a response to where they should do the Abbey Road photo shoot

We need to hear the 27 minute version of Helter Skelter

The best part of Ob-La-Di Ob-La-Da is John and George yelling "ARM", "LEG", "FOOT!", at various times.

"You give her everything you own just to sit at the table. Just a smile would lighten everything." HELL of a lyric, one of the best lines on the album.

The tapping in "Blackbird" is actually Paul's feet, with tap shoes. Not a metronome. Sorry, just thought I'd clear that up! :)

I love the remastered mono vinyl. Just insane that they put out Pepper & this a year apart, what a band.

The White Album is the darkest... I love it. Broken bent imperfect and almost perfect. Self referential but the least self-conscious of their work. Dark as fuck.

Told my daughter that Rocky Raccoon was about Rocket's grandfather and now she is getting deep into the Beatles. Whatever gets them, right.

I've always thought "Come and keep your comrade warm" was one of the coolest lyrics in the history of Rock and Roll. There's just something so slick and badass about it to me.

Just listened to this yesterday for the first time in a few years. So many good songs I forgot about. Lennon had a lot of great tunes on here. Love "I'm so Tired".

The amazing thing about The White Album? ......They showed the world they could do any genre masterfully...Can't think of another group that can.

“A slight rattle could be heard...” *rtrtrtrtrtrtrtRtRtRTRTRTRTRTRT*

This was half an hour of absolute gold. I loved how you explained some backstorys from songs and the albums story as a whole. It was awesome that you played every song! It sounded so much more alive than the digital remasters. This has got to be my favourite review from you (ok, I haven't seen every single one). You did an awesome job, really amazing!

John's voice on "Everybody's Got..." is the best.

Alongside Pepper it's my favourite Beatles album. I don't care if it is too long or if it does not flow as well as Revolver or Pepper, i like it precisely because it has such a variety of different songs and because it has four sides. Lennon once called it an encyclopedia of Rock, and i am inclined to agree.

*scratches left arm* i need more beatles videos man

Not only is this your longest review, it's also your best :D

Wow, this is my first viewing of this show. I enjoyed it so much that I watched all of it in one sitting. Thumbs all the way up. You did your homework. A true fan would only care about the details you mentioned. I cared. I am now a fan of "Vinyl Rewind". Thank you, Colby Pollard

Happiness Is A Warm Gun and Sexy Sadie have probably been spun at least 9000 times for me. Absolute classics.

16:21 Wow I literally had the same thought about Bungalow Bill and Rocky Raccoon as a child! That's one of the many reasons that I love this album so much, it has songs that appeal to so many ages. Sounds like pretty generic praise but it just covers such a wide spectrum of so many things. Thanks for putting together such a great review that's almost as comprehensive as the album itself.

My favorite part on The Beatles Anthology video is when everyone starts talking about ‘how it should be 1 album’ and Paul says ‘ It’s the bloody Beatles White Album, it sold SHUT UP!’ Perfect!

you just simply can't have enough of the Beatles. thank you very much for this review 😀👍

I always thought that the end of "long, long, long" was really similar to the ending of "Bike" from Pink Floyd's The Piper at the Gates of Dawn

Without question my favorite album of all time. Its wild diversity somehow coheres brilliantly, and it actually feels like a journey, a train ride through India, a travelogue. It was also an extraordinary time for music that allowed for such a wild panoply of sounds and ideas - no time before or since has allowed for such far ranging scope while reining in such far flung experimentation into an aesthetically focused whole. It's like the sixties in microcosm. This was the single greatest influence on me as a musician, and I think it explains why so few people seem to grasp what I'm after when I tackle many different ideas and approaches to music making. We could all use more of this kind of musical breadth and range from our musical artists today. And I think every track holds up brilliantly in context. The so called "weaker" tracks work as a kind of brilliant sorbet, freshening the palate between courses. As Salvador Dali said once about one of his paintings that had a tiny crutch rendered in the composition, if it hadn't been there the whole painting would cease to exist.

Most favourite Beatles album, most creative, enjoyable and artistic out of all of the other albums including Sgt. Pepper's, encourage everyone to listen to every UK Beatles album, especially this one

This review made me go up to my local record store and buy this album, hell yea dude you're the man

You seriously make fantastic content and deserve way more subscribers and views

The White Album is by far my favorite Beatles album. There's just so much variety that you can't help but be amazed by it all. For a long time, I steered clear of it due to Charles Manson's tarnishing of it (especially Helter Skelter), but now Helter Skelter is one of my favorite Beatles songs.

Julia might be the most beautiful song John wrote for the Beatles

I literally listened to this album right before I went to bed.

This is definitely my favorite review from vinyl rewind. Thank you for taking the time to share these interesting facts with us!

That was really fun to watch, thanks! Your presenting is really engaging and your enthusiasm is infectious :) Half an hour flew by!

My ultimate favorite Beatles album ever, first heard it on Capitol Stereo Cassette when I was 5 years old, totally changed my life, my favorite song Bar None is Back In The USSR. I think this is the only Beatles album that I have more than 10 copies of, and I can't wait till next year when Giles Martin remixes the album

This is my favorite Beatles album. I love the way you touch on each song. I recently watched another review of the white album and the reviewer totally tore apart Cry Baby Cry. Since it is one of my favorite songs I was glad to see that you appreciated it.

A brilliant and fun review of big, sprawling album. Every time I watch one of your videos I appreciate your style, insights, and passion more and more. Keep up the great work!

"Sorry that I doubted you, I was so unfair You were in a car crash and you lost your hair" is the greatest lyric in rock.

Thank you so much for more Beatles content! :)

great work man! I didn't plan on spending 33 minutes listing to a review of The White Album. But I stumbled on this video and was glad I did. In full disclosure I've always been somewhat displeased with the White Album. I feel it's very unfocused and somehow you made me sort of see the organized chaos in it all now. I sorta gree with George Martin it should have been one album but I think allowing more material to be released helped do away with some of the stress built up within the group. I almost think this album made Let It Be an Abbey Road possible.

You really deserve to have a million followers. Thank you, dude 🎶

For a music lover this is one of the best videos! I hope you continue with the full track by track reviews!! Fantastic, and your presentation makes it even more enjoyable - keep up the great work!

this was such a great introduction to the white album for me! after only hearing helter skelter, blackbird, and while my guitar gently weeps from this album in particular, i’m glad i was able to hear the whole thing and become so in love with it! thank you.

great timing, just listened to this album again last night from start to finish. probably my favorite beatles album. logic, longest album which means more beatles. that and I love the diversity yet with a scaled back approach.

This was a great review I loved how you told the backstorys of each song, but your look like your having the time of your life and seem very happy it made my day

Hey man just wanna say a big thanks for this, at first I was kinda daunted by how long the album is but having you break down every track helped me understand it and now I love this album so much ❤️❤️❤️ long live the Beatles

Gotta disagree with you about I'm so Tired. One of my all time favorite beatles songs :)

"They were literally the biggest band in the world" they are the biggest band in the world

Thanks for doing a great job, Vinyl Geek! You talked about ALL the songs and that wasn't easy. Not much more to be said except your review made my day!

Love your channel. As a 62yr old that longs for the very special time that rocks and my evolution coincided. There was so much fertial ground to still explore in rock. The White album is a classical tribute to that time. Albums were art through sound and there is a good reason that the Beatles were and always will be the best. As you state, all the songs have to be taken in context of an album. Its hard to imagine the songs individually. Its sad to see her rock has gone. All I can say , its better to love and lost than never to have loved at all. Thank you for all your work and effort to showcase these timeless works of art. Rock N Roll will never die!

This is hands down my favorite Beatles album, so much content and great compositions. You deserve more subscribers for this fantastic video sir👏

Really Great Review! Once I started watching I couldn't stop. I feel exactly the same way about this album as you do, but you made this music feel fresh again. Thanks, will follow you, and here's hoping for a 2018 White Album 50th Anniv Box Set!

Thanks for the up load Eric. This was my favorite album growing up in the late 60'S.

Fantastic job on this one. Great balance of back story and personal perspective. I think your best video yet.

Excellent review and analysis of the album. Thank u so much. This was truly enjoyable. My personal favorite song of the White Album would b While My Guitar Gently Weeps. A real master piece. God bless and have a great week.

Ah, yes. I too appreciate the Ringo Starr ASMR at the end of "Good Night".

I really enjoyed your video . It makes me feel like everything you say is something new to me even though I have already heard everything about this particular album a thousand times. I love this album so much too.

I thoroughly enjoyed this trip through an indisputably great album with a review that was, at the same time, respectful without being fawning. Thanks!

Best Beatles album review I have ever watched. Thank you.

Just discovered this channel and have to say it's already one of my favorites! American Football needs to be an album you review.

Eric, you're an amazing & knowledgable Beatles historian! The White Album was the 1st Beatles album I heard as well, as a teenager. We must be similar ages. Thanks for your show Vinyl Rewind. It's great! ..especially with this new resurgence in Beatles interest with the release of the Get Back film in late 2021.

A brilliant review. So well informed and an excellent critique of each song as well as the album as a whole. Really truly fab.

Great review of one of the best albums ever recorded, in my opinion. I've been a huge Beatles fan since their iconic appearance on Ed Sullivan when I was 9 (yeah, I'm old! lol) and the White Album is one of my favourite albums of theirs. So much really good material on it -- as you point out in your review, Side One alone is worth the price of admission. Very well done review!

Perfect video, through and through. I've always had a love-hate relationship with the White Album, but I love how in depth you go into with songs that I don't even like much (I.e. Birthday, Why Don't We Do It In The Road). Thank you for opening up my eyes and allowing me to appreciate his as an album and not just having to pick out which songs I like.

Man! You are so positive and well spoken. It's rare to see someone "critique" and give even a little credit to the creators anymore. I very much enjoy your work! (You earned a sub)

I loved this! I thought there was nothing new to appreciate about this album which I've heard a million times. But you made it completely new, hearing it through your eyes.

Honestly, how have you not hit 1M subs yet.

love this review man. You do great stuff!

Such a well researched and edited video. Bravo!

thanks for the work in putting this together - great job and very entertaining!

Definitely your best video yet. Thank you.

The open ended sessions started with the Rubber Soul sessions when they were up against the clock, to release an album for Christmas in 1965, and they continued from then on. As they were EMI artists in an EMI Recording Studio, all studio time was free.

Fascinating listen for an album which to me ranks within top 3 of all their LP's. Great to hear a review delivered with insight, intelligence & background facts, some of which were new to me. Thank you VR!

Well done! This is probably the best assessment of The White Album I’ve seen.

I love the album. It's one of my favourites and I can't wait for the 50th anniversary box set, I really want to hear the outtakes from the sessions. By the way, have you heard the LOVE version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"? It's the acoustic version from Anthology 3 with strings added by George Martin. I think it's my favourite version of the song.

I love vinyl

My favourite Beatles album. Also to me, this is my comforting Christmas album for no other reason but I would listen to it on repeat one December when I was discovering it about 22 years ago. Thank you for your amazing review. Top quality intelligent passionate unbiased video review that we can always rely ont from you. Please don't ever stop.what your are doing man ❤🎶🎙⏺

Good job Dude... I was 17 years old when this record came out and I was from "I want to hold your hand" a big fan. They were a breath of fresh air thru my High school years. Keep on doing this!!! David

Amazing review!!

Outstanding review. "A complicated record" is right on the money. I think that's what makes it a brilliant effort. Nice job, Geek.

why did I only find you now. You're ducking amazing and already are in my top 3 favorite channels on yt even tho this is the second video I see of you

The White Album has recently become my number one Beatles record, i never fully understood it at first but after a few listens it's become my favourite and i listen to it constantly ! Really great review 👍 very insightful

Even though i know the Beatles from pop culture, i never really listened to their music. Thanks for doing a detailed review of one of their biggest albums. :D

Great video, why not review an album by The Doors. :)

Thanks Vinyl Geek for your great reviews, you know your stuff! As for the Beatles what can I say, love this album and all their others. They were a HUGE influence on me and countless others. Sounds cliche but there really never will be another band like them. I was 15 when this LP was released and I'm so glad I was around then, such a great time for music.

Really insightful, really enjoyed this and your entire channel

I stumbled upon this....I'm not even sure how, but I really enjoyed it. It also reminded me of one of my greatest concert-going experiences. This was the first album that Phish performed as a "musical costume" for Halloween 1994. I drove out to upstate NY just to see the show, and nobody knew what they would play until they actually played it. I can't explain how thrilling it was to hear Back in the USSR, and then immediately start going through my mental rolodex to anticipate what other songs they would play. There was a real collective sense of anticipation for "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," because we expected a truly special interpretation of the guitar solo. Trey did not disappoint.

this is the best Beatles album imo and one of the greatest albums of all time for me probably second only to houses of the holy by led zeppelin Martha my dear and Cry baby cry are my favorite tracks

just like this album i come back to your review often! my favorite Beatle album, for several reasons the amount of music, the different textures, so tired, yer blues, everyones got something to hide, this is the one album i take to the island, great review!

Nice vid! Last night I visited the concert of The Analogues in Rotterdam. A precise Beatles coverband with original instruments of those days. My White Album copy ( I own it for 50 years now) has been revived for me. Love it! Now buying a vinyl playing device (again). Thanx!!

This album is a classic on all four sides. I might prefer this to even Sargent Pepper’s. The gentleness is the many selections that are offered by The White Album. I am still impressed! What an amazing work of art!

your content is so good. you're a cool guy! Wish I could have a drink with you

Phenomenal video, research, pacing, sound bites, set-up. You're an artist.

It's so nice to hear and see your appreciation and the value you give to music in these days of low attention span swiping. I remember taking the bus for 35 miles to buy my one monthly record. Most of those records I didn't really like at first listen but, sufficiently intrigued and considering the effort to get them and pay for them, I would listen thoroughly until I got what was going on. Suffice to say, I still listen to them today along the offerings of the incredible musical adventure of the 20th century.

The perfect antidote to Sgt Pepper the White Album. Every track is completely different to each other. Brilliantly diverse songs by the greatest band of all time.

Amazing content!!!!!! loving the Beatle stuff!!!!! Still waiting for the Pink Floyd Animals reviewww!!!!! love this channel

I came across this channel yesterday and have been binging videos since then. Seriously the production quality, the song breakdowns and the backstory you add to the albums is all awesome. And let me say the vinyl geek is a really great host. Just wanted to give some appreciation for the hard work thats put into this channel and man I wish I had found it earlier.

Great channel buddy. This is my all time favorite album

without a doubt, The White Album is the finest Beatles album ever released. my all time favorite alternative recording

My favorite Beatles album. It's is diverse, but there's also a sound to it that runs through everything, a kind of deep sound, especially in the bass lines- even when it's just guitar, it still has this deep sound.

Your comments were so intense that made me to listen to the White Album again and over and over. Thanks alot for everything, even the missing things in the content.

really love your videos man, especially this review.
