Summary of this CDs & Vinyl...
Too long. Too much. But what a glorious smorgasbord. 90 minutes of the Fabs at their most diverse. Great rock and roll, great pop songs, beautiful ballads, and some primo weirdness from John and Yoko. For the "White Album", it's very dark. George gets four songs, including one of his best. It's more a collection of solo material than a true group effort, though.
This type of CDs & Vinyl is good for...
Late night listening.
I especially liked...
"Back In The U.S.S.R.", "Dear Prudence", "Happiness Is A Warm Gun", "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "I'm So Tired", "Blackbird", "Rocky Raccoon", "Julia", "Helter Skelter", "Revolution 1", "Cry Baby Cry", "Revolution 9" (yes, you heard me!)
I didn't like...
"Why Don't We Do It In The Road" (yuck!), "Everybody's Got Something To Hide (Except For Me And My Monkey)" (too repetitious).
When I finished n/a this CDs & Vinyl I wanted to...
Play it again.
This CDs & Vinyl made me feel...
Spooky.
I recommend this CDs & Vinyl because...
It's the bloody Beatles White Album! (To quote Paul.)
Further Comments...
If only Apple would rerelease this with the added tracks "What's The New Mary Jane", "Not Guilty" and George's demo of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", it'd be perfect.
