 Topic: White Album:pinnacle of Beatles & Music in general
Posted: April 09 2013 at 06:56 |
Actually I heard all the covers were made out of brown cardboard and he painted them all white by hand.
Or was it Tippex?

Back to The White Album - what does everyone think of Richard Hamilton's artwork? |
What art work....?

I like the poster and the photos. The cover must have taken him ages.

I can't stand the Phil Spector-ized original release of Let it Be...those cheezy strings ruin some great songs. I'll take the "Let it Be...Naked" release any day.

Whatever - it was long time before November 1968 so your claim that "[t]he lack of development in Lennon's and Macca's music after The White Album coincides with the replacement of the Lennon/McCartney collaboration with the Lennon/Ono partnership" is not wholely accurate. |
They'd pretty much stopped writing together in 1964 - A Hard Days Night is clearly Lennon's rocky songs and McCartney's more melodic ones. On occasions they contributed bits to one another's songs (such as We Can Work It Out) but generally they wrote separately.

Admittedly, I announced a quadruple Beatles album (edit - for clarity:) . However, forgetting all the singles (gosh, they were really, really great.......hmmm), I probably should have made it a pentagon (?) album.
Hence, before annoucing my 5 albums, I would like to ask for yours? Or at least your conceptual pentagon (OR is that ""pentagle?) album (perhaps along the lines: 1 Rockers 2 Folk Rockers 3 Vaudeville and other Awkwards 4 Out of the extraordinary (prog?).
Assumption: exclude the Lady Madonna single! or what do you think? this is more like Magical Myszrey To (obviously, I´m drunk by now!)...but very ...I forgot what I was going to say.....Chers!
I Love You...æøå

Just an idea and for the record. |
Except Lennon and McCartney was a financial partnership, not a colaboration - they rarely worked together on a song - the basic maxim with Lennon & McCartney songs is "whoever sang it wrote it" (who smelt it dealt it)

The "doubles" - The Beatles LP and Magical Mystery Tour EP - are, (without a shadow of doubt), my two favourite Beatles releases - the former because it is an unrestrained extravagance and the latter because it isn't. |
THis is more or less what I think. They are certainly my favourite Beatles albums. The White Album has been my favourite for years and MMT has recently grown on me. One difference is that I love Baby you're a Rich Man but because it reminds me of being very young and listening to my Uncle's single over and over and over again! And not having heard the EPs i'm not over bothered about the inclusion of the singles.
I wouldn't change a thing about The White Album not a duff track on it. I even love.... oh well I won't say as it doesn't matter.
(AND because what flipping right have I got to change it anyway)
