This White Album sounds amazing, even on my basic Apple buds. Hearing things that I’ve never heard before. Yoko doesn’t sound any louder on Bungalow Bill mind.

And its Rubber Soul, obvs!

Have you tried headphones?

Rubber Soul and Revolver were released within 12 months of each other I believe? If they'd doubled them up like the White Album, hooo boy.

Abbey Road's their best album for me. The White Album, Revolver and Rubber Soul all change places regularly in the 2-4 places. Let It Be is 5th, vastly underrated album. I've never really 'got' the Sgt Peppers fanfare. It's great and all, but in terms of the evolution of their sound I think Revolver and the White Album are streets ahead. That being said She's Leaving Home is one of the greatest things Macca's ever done, a masterpiece. Currently;

1. Abbey Road

2. White Album

3. Rubber Soul

4. Revolver

5. Let It Be

Revolver is too.

Sgt Pepper is musically not the best Beatles album, however it's cultural significance makes it one of the great albums of all time.

And the best post Beatles oeuvre belongs to George Harrison.

I have indeed, I think the problem is with my memory- by the time I've put the comparison on, I've forgotten what the original sounded like

Listened to the White Album so much as a kid with my parents but haven't listened to it for years. Might have to redress that balance this afternoon.

As for best....between Rubber Soul, White Album and Abbey Road. Although Abbey Road does have Maxwell's Silver Hammer on it....

That will explain why you prefer Lennon to McCartney.

And the White album has Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da 

My favourite Beatles album - Revolver.

MSH stinks out the whole album.

I’m listening to the new mix of Dear Pridence and it sounds amazing. Probably a toss up between that and Tomorrow Never Knows as my favourite John song.

It certainly doesn't help its case. But I wouldn't say it stinks out the entire album.

It's a dirty, shitty aberration.

His other headline Pyramid set still ranks as the best pyramid headline set I've seen at Glastonbury.. and that was with the added pleasure of some twat in the crowd standing behind me and pissing..

The man's older now but I suspect he still knows how to entertain... I'd be there..

On a personal level I always go for Here Comes The Sun to make me feel better about MSH, but Something is a beaut.

[Badlands]

Dr Robert, I Want to Tell You and Good Day Sunshine are low points that Rubber Soul doesn’t have.

Not much love for A Hard Days Night, think it would be top 3 for me.

I have no idea how I got it, but I had a cassette copy of Yellow Submarine as well, which I listened to a LOT when I was about 11 ish.  HAve an everlasting soft spot for Hey Bulldog and Only A Northern Song.

 

[The Nal]

If anyone is using Tidal its been added to the Masters section and it sounds....

[SwedgeAntilles]

Hey Bulldog is an absolute banger
