Edit The Beatles White Album Down To One Disc
Posted on 11/4/21 at 6:01 pm
Posted on 11/4/21 at 6:01 pm
I just heard an interview where George Martin said the White Album would have (in his opinion) been the Beatles best had it been edited down to one album.
So you do the editing. Cut the 30 songs down to 15...
Side One
1. "Back in the U.S.S.R."
2. "Dear Prudence"
3. "Glass Onion"
4. "Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da"
5. "Wild Honey Pie"
6. "The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill"
7. "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"
8. "Happiness Is a Warm Gun"
Side Two
1. "Martha My Dear"
2. "I'm So Tired"
3. "Blackbird"
4. "Piggies"
5. "Rocky Raccoon"
6. "Don't Pass Me By"
7. "Why Don't We Do It in the Road?"
8. "I Will"
9. "Julia"
Side Three
1. "Birthday"
2. "Yer Blues"
3. "Mother Nature's Son"
4. "Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey"
5. "Sexy Sadie"
6. "Helter Skelter"
7. "Long, Long, Long"
Side Four
1. "Revolution 1"
2. "Honey Pie"
3. "Savoy Truffle"
4. "Cry Baby Cry"
5. "Revolution 9"
6. "Good Night

For extra fun toss in some songs that were floating around at this time, such as John's "Child of Nature" (he later reworked it as "Jealous Guy") or George's "Sour Milk Sea", which GH gave to fellow Liverpudlian Jackie Lomax, backed by the Beatles (minus John) w/guitar from Eric Clapton.

Impossible for me. The White Album is my favorite Beatles album. The only think I’d cut from the White Album is Revolution 9.
Posted on 11/5/21 at 6:15 am to Mizz-SEC
You can cut any of the 15 but those songs would make up a new album by themselves.

No, leave it alone. It's a complete work and a masterpiece as is.
However, I do like John and George's contributions to the album above the other two.

Wild Honey Pie
Goodnight
Revolution 9
^I could do without these, replace them with the a few of George's that were rejected at the time, like Isn't it a Pity.
Otherwise I would leave it as is, still a brilliant album from start to finish.

I love the intricacies of Wild Honey Pie. Especially the syncopated guitar lick on the final time through.
