@spaceshig I believe I paid $20 or something close to that for this white vinyl White Album -- this was in 1978 (10th anniversary of the album) and adjusting for inflation, it would be as if I paid $66 today.
The most futuristic labum of The Beatles. It showed coming of punk rock (Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey ), glam rock (Birthday), indie rock (Glass Onion), prog rock (Piggies), brit pop (Bungalow Bill) heavy metal (Helter`Skelter), post rock (Rev no 9) etc.
@marguslagle They did foretell the future of rock & roll with the White Album -- and certainly, of their solo careers. If you programmed just the Lennon songs, or just the McCartney songs (include Revolution for John, and Hey Jude for Paul) as two separate albums, they could both pass for what would be their first solo albums -- try it and see.
@marguslagle you got it! like picasso with all his different art periods, but the beatles did it simultaneously. don't forget folk--blackbird and mother nature's son. and harrison's long long long- indescribable. maybe a psalm like david
I got the American white capitol pressing as a gift. Sound quality doesnt seem to be as great as this, but i'm just happy to have such a good looking copy.
@Gary7Gann DUDE,what the hell is your CRAZY ASS TALKING ABOUT.! happy because someone blew him away in front of his wife!!!!! There is a thing called karma.You wish that on someone and it might come back to your STUPID ASS!
I like the white vinyl. I've only seen a couple of them in my life. The original White Album sleeve was all white with the "White Album" lettering actually pressed into the cardboard. The future pressings merely had it printed on the sleeve.
@ObaNarayanShivaji999 In Johns words of the song. It was about him and Yoko. YOKO IS THE MONKEY!!!! HAHAHAHAAHAHAH!!! It's true. Many people called Yoko a monkey for her physical appearance. So John took hold of that for a song.... MONKEYS.
If I were to buy the latest pressing of this album, do you think it would be white? To be honest I would only would want to buy this on white vinyl because it completes the look of the entire album and it looks amazing. Also is that 180 gram vinyl?
@Z0S07657 There was never any 180 gram Beatles White Album (far as I know), and if you want to get a "White White Album", there were pressings in 1978 (this French one, and an American one on Capitol) and a 1985 German pressing as well.
As I said before ... they don't call it the "White Album" for nothing! Whether white vinyl or regular black, it's still something a fan should have on LP
I have the "White Album" on a regular vinyl and it was a Capitol reissue from the early 80's with a 60's style Capitol color border design (circa 1982-87). I will play that on my GE Wildcat soon with more songs from the "White Album".
I've never seen a white vinyl on a "White Album", pretty rare.
I bet you are right about that -- I just got the Beatles stereo box, and copy of the mono box that just came out - both sound great (better than the older CDs) ... but Mobile Fidelity Japanese virgin vinyl would be amazing - do you have Beatles or other artists in that format?
I have MFSL vinyls of Pink Floyd 'DSotMoon' and Al Stewart 'Year of the Cat' - American, not Japanese -- your complete Beatles MFSL box must be a prized possession.
I take nothing from the KILLER remasters that were just issued on CD-Marvelous(And I've got most of 'em so far)! But Apple/Capitol/EMI would be FOOLS not to someday bring out premium 180gram vinyl re-issues of The Beatles' album stereo AND mono catalog(incl. Past masters, too) W/Faithful label and insert re-creations for all-AND WHIT VINYL On the white album. Surely no on would disagree with that:-) And oh, keep up the killer work on the vids! LOVE 'EM, RJ:-)
Yes the re-mastered Beatles CDs are great -- got the stereo box and a friend gave me copies of the mono ones -- must hear the monos to experience the difference. Once the "09-09-09" frenzy of CD remasters and RockBand simmers, I think as you do that EMI will put out 180g vinyl remastered Beatles LPs (UK albums) as they did with the Band, Beach Boys, McCartney & Wings, and Lennon titles. It is a matter of time -- until then "you have the records if you want to reminisce"!
Beautiful copy of the White Album on white vinyl! I've been waiting to see this on Apple white vinyl. I've seen it on Capitol white vinyl though. Nice vid, nice song. BTW I subbed!
I wish i was alive when this band was together. I love the beatles, my father gave me all of his beatles albums and his turntable I play them all the time.
yeah all of his albums are 1st issues, he doesn't have time to listen to them anymore so i went to his house and picked them up. Do you have any suggestions how I should store my lp's?
make sure you always keep the LPs stored vertically - shelves, crates, etc never keep them stacked in a pile. If you can, invest in some good quality LP sleeve protectors - they are better than the usual paper ones that came with the records.
Lucky you...the White Album on white vinyl is FANTASTIC!!!!!!

When I was 11 the only way to know other bands was walking away in the town looking for some CDs. Hope you enjoy.
