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!
Agreed. I'd never heard this tidbit before, either. The lyric change - though apparently based on phonetic similarity - has the unfortunate effect of recasting the song as a chastisement of a woman. It thus recalls some of Lennon & Dylan's other bitter takedown songs with misogynist leanings.
@@gabrielgarbow3784 Gabriel, I think the song "Sexy Sadie" is just an honest reaction to the way (in this case Sadie can be inferred to be a woman) he/she was dishonest and made a "fool of everyone." You're right that there are songs out there that are blatantly misogynistic, but "Sexy Sadie" isn't one of them.
Yeah, I read a lot of things on The Beatles; books, articles, etc, and watch a lot of videos. I always think I know everything about them. But then, I come here and watch Jeff's videos and I learn a lot of stuff I had no idea of. When you watch other channels and hear the same thing over and over, you I start thinking, "I know all this stuff." That's why I love this channel so much. I always see, or hear, something new to me. I also really like the videos where Jeff lays into the trolls. It's very satisfying.
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!!! 😂
Yeah, I think the full impact of the album is in its shambling, off-kilter messiness. You could make a great single album out of the songs, but you could not make a *legendary* one.
Jeff, another great series. Thanks for your time and effort compiling these! I love the White Album. I go back and forth between it and Revolver as my favorite Beatles records. For me, the quantity of material and all the different styles of songs are what give the record its charm.
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.
It really grinds me because this series could be soooo much more impactful if I could use full songs rather than 10 seconds clips. I had no issues when I did my Stones series but dodging the Apple copyright police has made this one a huge challenge.
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.

Thank you for that beautiful comment. I would love to see Peter Jackson do another Beatles documentary and 1968 would be a great year to cover. Abbey Road, while a great album, didn’t have near the musical or cultural impact that the White Album did. I was a Beatles fan before I heard the White album but the instant I heard it they became my favorite band and have remained so 45 years later.
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!
They booted deep dive number 12! The good news for me is that I saw it 2 minutes after you posted it. I wondered why the comments I left had disappeared. Now I know. Flagged tagged and bagged really sorry about that, Jeff it was just fantastic! I'm one of the handful of people that saw before they brought it down. Hope you'll find a way to rework itself it passes the sensors. The way you had it was perfect though. Too bad billionaires with more money than us make the decisions on these things. The interviews were just great as well! Television? Next deep dive?
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!
Thank you! I think it was George who convinced John not to use Maharishi’s name in the song. I think George was a little more sympathetic towards rMaharishi.
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.
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 !!
I notice you kept the original side closers for side 2 and 4 but switched them up. I like it. I think Birthday is a great album opener, even if John called it “a piece of garbage” in his last Playboy interview (I disagree vehemently with him). Would be interesting to actually listen to this with Back in the USSR not opening a side. If Capitol was still issuing their own versions of Beatles albums in 1968 I wonder what this album would have looked like?
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.
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.
@@jeffwhitchervinyldestinati4486 I forgot to note it, but I would also make sure it was the mono mix of 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' that was on my single disc version. While I feel that Sir Macca does a great job on the drums for 'Dear Prudence', I feel too strongly that Ringo would have provided for a lot better drumming on 'Back In The U.S.S.R.' I can't listen to the track with knowing this!
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?
Absolutely! At the very least you’d think they would have stuck it on a b-side somewhere. That has to be a record number of takes devoted to an unreleased song. Curious how many takes it took George to nail the version on his self titled solo album.
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
Thanks! This is the first Beatles album where songs that would have been previously discarded or used as b-sides make it onto an album. That being said, I do like the weirdness of some of these tracks.
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.
I remember seeing the Thompson Twins perform it at Live Aid - joined on stage by Nile Rodgers, Steve Stevens, and Madonna. They didn't help; it was still terrible. And the lead singer kept forgetting lyrics. 😄
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!

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?

in the 1970s and beyond…
Finally, as a parting shot, even tho’
it’s perceived as a deathknell of
