Underneath the Bunker is not an instrumental.

Richard's song were always sad and haunting

It's actually featured in all four sides. I can't even tell you what minute it was played from.

I can tell the difference but then again I've listened to the record more than once. You can call bulshit but I'm not a pussy like you who doesn't appreciate all forms of music so why don't you stick to your top 10 radio-friendly hits and get the fuck out the way for people who can appreciate all types of music. Not all of us suck corporate candy cock like you do. Before you start being insulting think about the fact that you live in a glass house like the rest of us and I don't throw stones. I throw cinder blocks

Thanks for the deep dive on this album. I never really cared for this album. I remember as a child watching The magical mystery tour movie on TV on a Sunday morning. I remember I didn't watch it all. It was too boring. But I do enjoy these deep dives. Jeff. So much work goes into these. Thanks!

Wow! I feel like I just experienced a history lesson. Jeff. I've learned so much about each of the sergeant pepper's songs And how each one was made, why each one was made, etc. So much history. The Beatles are awesome. Were. I guess they still are. Thanks for the great biography into this album. Jeff!

Hi Jeff! Yes.....the White Album needed to have four sides. Although, let's be honest.....there is a killer single album hiding inside here. But, when it's all said and done, it's fine just the way it is. I don't listen to it nearly as much as others......but when I do, it's always special. Great video once again!

I have been listening to Sides 3 &4 in anticipation of this vid. I already have a deeper appreciation for them after watching your vid. I don't know why John had to go from Maharishi to Sexy Sadie - seems like an extreme attempt to hide the identity of it's subject. Could have just not named him, or given him a man's name, but what do I know. Great job, Jeff!

The word [or phrase] you guys are looking for is "cross-fertilization." The Beatles [especially John Lennon] and Bob Dylan cross-fertilized each other musically and lyrically. Dylan was influenced by The Beatles musically, more specifically, by their melodies, harmonies, and musical arrangements ... while Dylan's influence on The Beatles [especially on Lennon] was his lyrics, mostly the different subject matter and the diverse topics of his songs.

1 this is something interesting not there is some John and Yoko Ono bootleg which has them portrayed naked on the front cover with pigtails and pig noses! I don't know what the music is like but I always got to laugh out of seeing that in the early 80s when I saw those at record shows.

Hey Jeff here's something really scary. Did you know for no reason at all. Thompson twins did a cover of revolution? It's really bad. How bad you ask? So bad that it's never appeared on any of their compilations even import ones outside of its 1984 or so release. This just stinks. 1 here's another stinker for you. Allison moyet did her cover of Zeppelin's black dog. Yikes! Cover your ears cuz this is one of the worst l z covers human kind will ever know.

Honestly, if it's a question of Beatles vs Stones only, I'm currently leaning toward The Stones.

Thank you for this series. They are so fun to watch. Mick and Brian especially are sooo interesting to listen to.

Good, honest review Well done once again... I watched it while preparing the vegetables for today's Sunday meal and laughed every time at the repeats of Mick saying "I think the actual album is really good" But defo worth a deeper dive... Here's why: 1. Jimmy Page is on it playing the solo on "One Hit (to The Body)" if they had him in the video, it woulda been quite a rock'n'roll cultural event... but....nooooo.... Also, Charlie's entry into the song is another sonic treasure a la "Memory Motel" 2. This is the album where Bobby Womack almost replaced Mick Jagger by, apparently, singing many of the guide vocals 3. "Harlem Shuffle" is actually the best thing on it and had all the' 80s crowd dancing at the discos over 1985 and 1986.. I know...I was 22 at ther time and dancing, or trying to, in the clubs 4. When Steve Lilywhite and his crew were overseeing the set up of Charlies drums for the sessions, thhe was amazed to see dead butterflies from Hyde Park in 1969 scattered about in the cases Apart from that.... Your observation that not one of the rockers here can compare to the majestic swingin' rockers on "Exile" is bang on... However... "Sleep Tonight" is quite beautiful on it's own... and pointed to the direction that Keith would take on his "Talk is Cheap" solo album in 1988...

Rag and Bone Buffet was an eye opener for me.

Get on your knees 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Jeff another incredible video they keep getting better

Wonderful presentation capturing the vibe around this masterpiece… I completely agree with you that it’s their greatest work and it’s also my favourite Beatle album… I was 5 in 1968, and thanks to my Dad, COMPLETELY aware of The Beatles since “Pepper” the year before, had the “Hey Jude/Revolution” single, saw them performing the single songs on “The Smother Brothers Comedy Hour” and had seen the “Yellow Submarine” cartoon movie, I was ready for it and truth be told, if there’s a single reason why I’ve made my way in this world as a musician, it’s because of hearing “The White Album”… it seemed to me there was no other way to live my life but to follow what I believed the instructions it provided… It’s important to recall, however, for all its eclectic genius, it was made into a double album NOT because they were being generous or expansively artistic… but ONLY because they were fulfilling a song publishing quota for Northern Songs… and really wanted to renegotiate publishing terms in their favour… the fact that Frank Zappa and Bob Dylan had made double albums previously meant there was a precedent… That aside, it presented them as more than capable of being able to compete with EVERYONE in the game in 1968… Dylan, The Stones, The Band, The Dead, Zappa, The Beach Boys, The Doors, The Who, Cream, Jimi, The Incredible String Band and Donovan… It captured global attention even more than “Pepper” in its reach into human imagination… Good and Bad… From Charlie Manson to every act at Woodstock... and it completely copperfastened the 1960s hippie ethos to the media narrative until punk rock came along… And with The Apple Label up and running, it’s also a serious model for “indie” rock bands controlling and releasing their work… I believe that a Peter Jackson style production of Beatles footage in 1968… The singles, India, the launch of Apple and all culminating with a focus on the John/Paul/ George Martin 24 hour sequencing session at Abbey Road Oct 16-17 Oct, a deep dive with Chris Thomas and any other Abbey Road staff still alive would be as fascinating as the recent “Get Back” doc. With regards to the idea of it woulda been better as a single album, how bout THIS? TWO SINGLE ALBUMS “John’s White” open.spotify.com/playlist/160SGo816eGIoHyHZE34tk?si=ETRP-GP9Q5eDDtcHxgxY9w&pi=e-BiyZV629R4yP “Paul’s White” open.spotify.com/playlist/0J4r4ZRfMe4ZaSSKB1Lz32?si=R16uvnEcQsGiMMdk7Gkmkg&pi=e-gd2DKOR7QQmp ONE 4 SONG EP “George’s White” open.spotify.com/playlist/4WtQvCTm9TlxfNheW7OOuQ?si=2eXzS8waRWie3RorUA4Iyw&pi=e-YMsjm8wKQLGT ONE SINGLE “Ringo’s White” open.spotify.com/playlist/1eYw02C0nFqhMZdmm4AKRq?si=RJ-_H1YNR9aCjH6yTz7RGA&pi=e-kE-m4d8XRCOM Each playlist very much predicts their subsequent individual solo journeys in the 1970s and beyond… Finally, as a parting shot, even tho’ it’s perceived as a deathknell of The Beatles, ain’t it interesting how despite the hassles they were dealing with that they delivered The Get Back roof show, “The Ballad of John and Yoko” and “Abbey Road” by September 1969?

Apparently, they had fun, it has been reported, as a band and friends, for the last time til “Steel Wheels” making the video for “She Was Hot” You can see that as the video progresses, too… “Too Much Blood” is actually a nod to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller” and, as such, it works as a groove and how it points out that true horror is not zombies dancing but real people being psychotic and vicious but it does deserve criticism for claiming Jagger’s spoken words to be “rap” It may well be the lamest rap ever claimed to be “rap” and what makes it worse is that The Stones had already hinted at the rise of rap, very well, previously with “Slave” and “Shattered” I thought your dismissal of “All The Way Down” as a song about oral sex was somewhat unwarranted… Closer scrutiny reveals it to be an upbeat lament about the passing of time, the loss of youth and an admission of being just as dumb as any kid along the way But, yep… The 80s was a not good decade for them British bad boys The Rolling Stones… The Media, in all its manifest forms, record companies, radio, MTV and record producer technology had wrested power back from the song writers and bands and were calling the shots…

I bet that 1965 acid was some primo stuff, brother...pure and legal at the time, at that. Most likely Owsley acid as he was the Grateful Dead's right hand 'candy man'...

I certainly wouldn't want to be the one to decide which songs would be cut if it were released as a single disc. Of course, I really like a lot of the songs that aren't as popular. I really like Bungalow Bill, Ob-La-Di, Honey Pie, Warm Gun, Rocky Raccoon, Piggies... those are my favorites. Dear Prudence is actually my favorite Beatles song. Followed by Across The Universe. I did think it was strange the therr were no songs featuring sitar. I thought it was because George didn't have one in India. I didn't know he had given it up to focus on guitar.

Looking good

I've always thought the "can you take me back where I came from?' bit was part of "Cry Baby Cry". I only heard recently that it was apparently a separate song begun by Paul. It seems to fit in the Lennon song, which is evocative of childhood and bedtime nursery stories, so I always heard it as kind of a haunting ad lib to that track. It's perfectly placed where it is.

Love the white album Jeff keep up the good work

Very well done! I still have the album and need to listen to it tonight!

I've never been able to wrap my head around what happened to "Not Guilty", irrespective of his arguable merit or lack of merit as a song. How do you try 100+ takes of a thing, and then not use it? And after a recording marathon like that, which had to span several days at least, surely George had some brass balls after the fact to say that the band ignored his songs all the time and didn't take his stuff seriously. Seriously, George?

Well paul, if you're only going to be cartoons anyway. Why not make give my regards to broad street. The anime film! Ready for that.. me neither.

I'm back for round two of round two.

Lennon was so full of crap about helping people start their own film production and everything. Apple never actually used any of those thousands of demos that they got from all these people. They were just trying to find a way out of paying all those taxes. All they did was end up paying for people's massive alcohol consumption for a year or so there. It's really strange. They ended up losing most of that money anyhow. Apple doesn't know what they're doing! That new mono us records does have one nice thing about them. They have reproduced the inner sleeves that were originally released with the albums at the time however, I can't see wasting your money on stereo fold Downs of mono mixes even if they're remastered. They're simply inferior to the British counterparts. And there's no way that any of this folly can justify this. And the cherry on top is that awful, awful to LP history of interview that record! It's been shunned by capital for 50 years. Yet if you wanted to pay $140 extra dollars to get that box set with a book you could. Why would you. If I had that to LP interview disc. I'd use it as a format for when I get out of the shower. It would still be better used that way than listening to it!

Tried listening to Roger Waters DSM re-recording this doesn't seem like a middle finger to the rest of the band. It seems like Roger gave himself the middle finger and sat on it. That can't be very comfortable. Hope he had some KY jelly for that. It's just abysmal. I just don't understand. I will agree that Roger Waters is a champion for human rights and that he is sincere in his concern about the Palestinians who are getting murdered for no good reason yet as I've said before. He's the most miserable billionaire I can think of. There's why.

Jeff I watch videos like this all the time! You really got a grip on this. You're very good at what you do. Your sincerity in your presentations along with the interview clips that you painstakingly connects to the big picture. This is just amazing. You're actually willing to look outside the microscope and see what's really around you and the circumstances of the phenomenon which is the Fab for.

Great stuff , as usual . Actually , I think the perfect White album would be 3 sides of vinyl , as there's too many good songs for just a single album . Maybe a single CD . I would eliminate the tracks : Wild Honey Pie , Helter Skelter , Revolution 9 , Why Don't We Do It in the Road ? , Yer Blues , Rocky Raccoon , Honey Pie , and Don't Pass Me By ( sorry Ringo ) . I made a playlist of the rest of the songs in a different order : Let me know what you think . Side 1: Birthday Everybody's Got Something to Hide Glass Onion Savoy Truffle Martha My Dear Sexy Sadie Blackbird Back in the USSR I'm So Tired Piggies Dear Prudence Good Night Side 2 : Ob-La-DI , Ob-La-Da While My Guitar Gently Weeps Mother Nature's Son Cry Baby Cry I Will Happiness is a Warm Gun Long, Long, Long Revolution 1 The Continuing Story of Bungalow Bill Julia ( Yes , I know that Back in the USSR is a natural side opener , but I wanted to change it up a bit ) Cheers !!

You put a lot of work into this man. It's steel reserve time!

You're a mother fucking rebel man! Trying to fight the YT algorithms. That's not easy. But it's probably why you're not getting as many views and likes as you deserve. I'm really grateful for you not compromising the content for your presentations. I watched the first part of this four times. I'll probably watch this another two times over the next few days. This is some strong stuff man. Thanks.

Loving all these deep dives the white album is probbly my least favorite but still a great album i still not a fan ofno. Do it in in the road goodnight my favorit songs are helter skelter glass onion yer blues while my guitar gently weeps strawberry truffle bu t no hate on any songs some can give or take

I like your disagreement with Paul. That made me genuinely laugh.

A slightly patchy album imo, but the top songs are sublime.

I always wanted to hear that early version of "Sexy Sadie" or "Maharishi" I should say. The viewer really gets some revealing insights into the songs that I certainly never knew before with this deep dive. You've surpassed yourself here Jeff. Astounding!

Wonderful Jeff, I always look forward to your deep dives, especially Beatles. I was barely a teenager when it came out but loved it all in all. I’ve never been able to listen to Revolution #9 all the way through, but loved the stripped down, not extremely polished songs. It made them seem more real I can’t imagine this being a single album, it’s weirdness is what makes it what it is if that makes sense. It’s still my favorite Beatle album all in all. Kudos Jeff, not many can say they told Sir Paul to shut up😮 Awesome!!! 😂

My single disc version of The Beatles' White Album? Side 1 While My Guitar Gently Weeps I Will Dear Prudence Savoy Truffle (either the mono mix or the one you can now catch on RUclips that edits out those noisy horns) Mother Nature's Son Sexy Sadie Don't Pass Me By (hey, you gotta have a Ringo song) Side 2 Martha My Dear Happiness Is A Warm Gun (mono mix) Piggies Helter Skelter Long Long Long Cry Baby Cry Blackbird (then after a few seconds of silence) Revolution 1 I regret not having any room for 'Julia'; perhaps it could take the place for 'Piggies'. My version is a bit over 47 minutes... conventional timing more or less for an album way back when.

Wonderful presentation, as always!, Jeff! Anybody think it might be whimsical to nominate choices for 5th Beatle, etc. People places or things are allowed. 5th Beatle, no brainer here, George Martin. Next, he played in the damn band in 1969, so I say Billy Preston is the 6th Beatle. Lets have fun with this...a late career addition involving one of the main writers, 7th Beatle -heroin. Just my humble opinion, mind you. Cheers!

Only Stones LP that the ENTIRE LP is an ABSOLUTE TRIP and EVERY song is GREAT! Creative, Lyrically Intelligentual, Musically Superior to ANYTHING the RS EVER Released

Stones: Second to none from this point on.

This is the Beatles album that makes me think every time I hear it. In terms of their catalog, it's actually near the bottom for me, lots of songs that I feel are nothing more than filler, though I know I'm in the minority for this. With that said, While My Guitar Gently Weeps is my second favorite Beatles tune, and I absolutely love the LOVE version. Nice Jeff!

Most enjoyable presentation once again... well done! That said... Worth noting that the title track was something of a humorous Bob Dylan pastiche in Jagger's vocal delivery... and a commentary on The Zim's recent high profile late 70s marital problems and divorce... so much so that Bob subsequently acknowledged it in an interview but insisted he never had a house on "Zuma Beach" "Some Girls" is really the culmination of The Faces/Stones interface that had been happening since 1973 or so... Ian McLagan was a great addition onstage subsequently from '78-'81 Story goes that Jagger asked Mac how much he wanted for playing on the album and Mac replied "Fifteen Thousand" (English Pounds) Jagger apparently heard that as "FIFTY Thousand" and said " No fuckin'way! I'll give ya Twenty Thousand"! Also, it's worth pointing out the absence of Ian Stewart who split the sessions in Paris and complained about them sounded like British Mindless Boogie merchants "Status Bloody Quo" Knowing how Stew wasn't into "minor chords", you'd think he'd love the songs...but it's true to say the album is definitely more Brit Punk than Brit Blues... I loved Quo meself at 15 years old in Mallow Co. Cork Ireland but adored The Stones even more...this album meant the world to me... still does...

Hey Jeff, don’t know if you read these comments, but don’t you think “Breakaway” sounds like it shoulda been on 20/20? Had to find it on a British import to discover the song, later in the 1970s. Thanks for these dives.

👏👏👏🎶 at 3:35 for singing live.

The song “Transcendental Meditation” IS at the bottom of the list on the back cover. Great record. I love the writing and arrangements and instruments used Like the bass harmonica, the organ, the voices through the Leslies, etc. Thanks for your coverage.

Thank you Jeff. Good observations. I bought the Darlin’ single, later really dug Here Today. Found the Lp Wild Honey. Found Pet Sounds later.
