Produktbeschreibungen

 
Diese neu aufgelegte Version des Klassikers The Beatles von 1968 ist besser bekannt unter der Bezeichnung White Album und sollte die Beatles eigentlich damals nach 3-jähriger Experimentierzeit im Studio wieder auf den Boden der Tatsachen zurückholen. Stattdessen führte es sie überall hin und sprengte alle Grenzen der damaligen Popmusik. Lennon und McCartney waren immer noch auf dem Höhepunkt ihrer Kreativität, wobei besonders John Lennon zu einer der beherrschenden Figuren der Rockmusik aufstieg. Aber auch Paul hatte das Rocken noch nicht verlernt, und es war geradezu ein Wunder, dass er nach "Helter Skelter" überhaupt noch Stimmbänder hatte. Von Rennern der Beach Boys über Reggae bis hin zu nicht so geläufigen Stücken wie "Revolution 9", hier ist einfach alles zu hören. Einige Platten sind zu Legenden geworden; diese gehört dazu. --Chris Nickson

Das betont schlichte Cover konterkariert die kunterbunte Vielfalt aus Kindergarten-Liedchen wie Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da, stürmischen Rock'n'Roll-Reißern, wunderschönen Popsongs, witzigen Kuriositäten und kruden Experimenten - das extremste Beispiel für die genialen Talente von John, Paul, George und Ringo.

Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Each song on the sprawling double album The Beatles is an entity to itself, as the band touches on anything and everything it can. This makes for a frustratingly scattershot record or a singularly gripping musical experience, depending on your view, but what makes the so-called White Album interesting is its mess. Never before had a rock record been so self-reflective, or so ironic; the Beach Boys send-up "Back in the U.S.S.R." 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 concrète 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 and sound through its mess.
