The White Album keeps growing in stature over time. Song for song, it's their best album hands down.
I hope we get the complete Esher sessions. The stripped down Good Night before George Martin ruined the song would be the worth the price of admission alone.
I think the only flaw with the album is the ending is a letdown. Revolution 9 was a cool concept , but did it have to be 8 minutes?? John could have gotten his message across and make it much more listenable if it was edited to 3 minutes. Then, instead of the horrible orchestra production, a simple beautful Good Night with harmonies would have made a perfect closer. I can't believe John gave the thumbs up to the final version. My guess is he didn't care or want to be bothered.
Song for song I agree it is their best. And every bit of it is as applicable today as it was 50 years ago...addresses all the issues of the day, which aren't that different now.

The White Album at 50: The Beatles' Sprawling Masterpiece, by the Numbers
The album that nearly tore the Beatles apart sounds just as enthralling half a century later.

As I've stressed before, "Helter Skelter" Is the FIRST METAL SONG EVER!

John Lennon called THE WHITE ALBUM "The Son Of Sgt. Pepper's!"

Amazon Music might (up to Apple/Calderstone) give a free copy on .WAV or .mpeg before you receive your box. Audio only.

Listening to this now. Had to get the stream before my physical copy.
Simply brilliant... man, the extras!
I don't want to open up old wounds, but listening to Rocky Raccoon..... I was 'Team Mountain', as per the official lyrics.... don't know if it is my imagination, but this new remix.... well, it certainly sounds like 'mining'.
I think we might have our answer.... finally!.... I am conceding.... it is 'mining'.
This album is just the most generous offering of all the releases.
Brilliant!

I agree on all accounts. Some of these songs sound so clear. And as far as Rocky...Nancy already conceded a few weeks ago in another thread. LOL!

Ha! Then we are universally agreed!.... The 'mountain' is over....
How great are these songs!... A lot of them show a lot of love between the fellas, despite popular opinion.
I've never heard that Let It Be take before.

That Let It Be take is great isn't it? I never heard it before either.

I guess you missed my post in the Rocky Raccoon thread where I also conceded it was “mining.”

The original 1968 release, John Lennon suggested numbers on the album
John was a bunch of zeros follow by the number 1
Paul was a bunch of zeros follow by the number 4
What numbers we’re selected by Ringo and George?
I say George took a bunch of zeros follow by the number 3 because I bet he thought this was odd.

I just purchased The White Album Super Deluxe 6 CD + 1 Blu-Ray Set! I can't wait to get it!
-
Mine arrived exactly when Amazon said it would - 8 pm! Still wading through Imagine set, but I think I’ll switch to White Album tomorrow!
P.S. The lyrics on the back of the poster still say “mountain” hills!

I thought Ringo ended up with the 0000001 set. He sold it at auction last year I think.
Yeah:
it was actually 2015:
