THE BEATLES – "A Doll's House": What if the white album were a double (but different)?

from Classic Rock And Prog Almanac · host timothyappleton

In the first of our mooted fantasy albums series, Tim and Peter each set out their alternative track listings for The Beatles, the band’s ninth studio album, colloquially known as The White Album. Issues covered include: the idea of a non-concept concept album, the contrasts between the band members’ different writing styles, where the band had reached in their career by this point, what we think of the final title versus the working title, and the extent to which the album reflected the socio-cultural context in which the band were working. Also, should Revolution 9 be included? What’s the problem with CDs? Was the protagonist of Mother Nature’s Son run over by a milk van? Why does George Harrison hate other humans so much? And did the band tell Ringo the time signature of Happiness Is A Warm Gun, or just wait for him to figure it out by himself?
