Beatles " White Album " - Reissue
5 Answers
I'm normally very anti all the new 'anniversary version remix' guff that we seem to be inundated with these days - provided the original has been transferred with reasonable care to CD, then that is enough - it reflects what the artist wanted when the music was first released.
I tend to think that money, rather than artistic integrity, is at the root of most of the remix/reixssue industry.
But ... But ... But ... the reissue of The Beatles (aka The White Album) is quite astonishingly good - the remixed versions of the original double album are clean, sharp and fizzing with creative energy - it's turned what I always thought of as a 'flawed masterpiece' into (probably) the best album of its time - and probably damn near the best of any time.
The CD of 'Esher Demos' is fascinating - you can hear the creative processes at work - and some of the acoustic takes are worth the price of admission on their own.
Only £15 from Amazon today - get one - trust me it's worth every penny :

As a point of interest, George Martin said he thought they should have made a brilliant single album, rather than a double padded out with sub standard stuff. I tend to agree with him.
