What Beatles White Album Tracks Would You Keep
Much has been written about the White Album. I like it just the way it is, except for Revolution 9.
George Martin is on record saying he wanted a single album of the strongest songs. Which songs would you choose?
My choices
Side 1
Glass Onion
Savoy Truffle
Happiness is a Warm Gun
The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill
I'm So Tired
Piggies
Savoy Truffle
Side 2
Birthday
I Will
Yer Blues
Everybody's Got Something to Hide Except Me and My Monkey
Sexy Sadie
Helter Skelter
Goodnight
I would have released two singles from the available tracks;
Back in the USSR w/Rocky Raccoon
While My Guitar Gently Weeps w/Dear Prudence
Then I would have put some of the others on Let It Be which is a very weak album.

I am completely serious as far as a discussion point. As I said, I love the album as is except for Revolution 9. It is one of my favorites. Just thought it might be a nice diversion.

Re: What Beatles White Album Tracks Would You Keep
I remember when it came out - just before Christmas I think it was, coz I am sure we never played any Christmas records that year. The Beatles album was played and played and replayed over again and again. And yes I seem to recall we lifted the needle to skip Rev9.
All the tracks are fond memories - alright some are better than others but that's not the point. In though days you put on an album and played it. No manufactured playlists, you simply played it all [mostly] and you learnt them off by heart. You knew the whole album. Prolly still know the words today.

Cowboy,
Somehow I knew you'd say that. It's hard to choose isn't it. But if you HAD to, which would you keep?
