Now I'm confused. Are you both talking about the so-called "White Album"? If so, it's just referred to that name because of its all-white cover. Its actual title is "The Beatles" and is a double album of new songs from 1968 (not a compilation). Some people hate it (like Mr. Marshall and Jim Phelps), while others find it quite a good listen in its eclectic song selection (like me).


No, I knew about the White Album, but was confused when people started talking about red and blue ones that aren't listed among their studio albums. It turns out the red and blue are two of their 53 compilation albums.

How come, color-wise, I've only heard of the white album? All the other albums in Wikipedia go by names.

Edit: it appears to be a recent compilation.


Umm, recent as in mid 70's?

The compilation albums I was referring too proper names appear to be their dates. "1962–1966 Album" (also known as "The Red Album) and "967–1970 Album" (widely known as "The Blue Album"). When you brought up the White Album I thought you were saying the Red and Blue albums were recent compilations.

Side 2 of the "Abbey Road" album is all killer, no filler.

I'll be in the store the first day the future Giles Martin remix hits the stores, RR.

"You Never Give Me Your Money", would definitely be on the playlist.

Okay, I'll try to do that (in no particular order):

I Feel Fine
Back In The U.S.S.R.
Dear Prudence
Strawberry Fields Forever
And I Love Her
I Saw Her Standing There
Free As A Bird
Penny Lane
A Day In The Life
Something
In My Life
Tomorrow Never Knows
Drive My Car
Rain
Help!
The Word
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Getting Better
Here, There and Everywhere
Eleanor Rigby



Thanks, Jenkwombat. That's helpful.


You're welcome. And yet, I can't believe I left off "Hey Bulldog" and "I've Got A Feeling", but you said try to limit it to ten to twenty songs... wink

I can't say I have a playlist, as such, but when I gorge on them I tend to reach for my homemade CD's of the b-sides or the Decca material.
Of the core studio albums, my favorite is the 1st. "I Saw Her Standing There" is one of the best rock and roll tunes of all time--the sheer youthful exuberance in it is lightning in a bottle.
I also gravitate towards the songs that I can play the basslines on. McCartney's lines are often a great workout.

I hope it'll be on vinyl. The Beatles sound so much better on vinyl. Just my two cents.
