Better known as the "White Album," this was meant to be the record that brought them back to earth after three years of studio experimentation. Instead, it took them all over the place, continuing to burst the envelope of pop music. Lennon and McCartney were still at the height of their powers, with Lennon in particular growing into one of rock's towering figures. But even McCartney could still rock, and the amazement on "Helter Skelter" was that he had vocal cords at the end. From Beach Boys knock-offs to reggae and to the unknown ("Revolution #9"), this has it all. Some records have legend written all over them; this is one. — Chris Nickson

- A very diverse album
- Most of the songs on this great album were written in India while the Fab Four were studying Transcendental Meditation with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi in early 1968. This is also the first album in which not all four Beatles participated on every track. Yet from an artistic standpoint, they remained very strong, although not every track here… More reviews
- The best album ever by anyone, including the Beatles.
- This album is perfect, and it's imperfection makes it that way. If you could only own one album, this is it. It has it all. It's influence is incalculable. Sell everything you own, and just listen to this. Really. More reviews

- Received the CD in excellent condition. Price was outstanding--very affordable. The wait was a little long having been shipped from Czechoslovakia. Still, it was worth the wait. Thanks.… More reviews
- A Fine Piece Of Work
- Aside from "Number Nine", there are no "clinkers" on this. To answer one reviewers question, yes, as a matter of fact, there were times in '68 that I personally DID wake up & "just have to listen to "Why Don't We Do It In The Road"" (just as there were times I just had to listen to "Jigsaw Puzzle"). Like another reviewer, I also got the White Album for Christmas '68.… More reviews
- Best album of all times...
- When McCartney goes from "I Will" to "Helter Skelter" ...and then creates something like "BlackBird", while Lennon adds "Happiness is a warm gun" and George "While my guitar gently weeps" anyone could argue this is not only a masterpiece but also the best album of all times. More reviews
