It has become my favourite Beatles album. Maybe it's the disjointed way it all holds together....wonderful.
It's a major pieces of work. Has some of the best tracks they ever did.
What struck me last time I listened to it, is how crafted all of the sounds are on there - no instrument sounds quite standard, everything is carefully chosen and integrated. Also the sound quality is excellent in places and only middling in other places, I suspect there were variable amounts of 'bouncing' of tracks given the limited tape machines.

Yes, the white album is most definitely a major achievement!

Now listening to The Isley Brothers, "3+3" Another milestone; this time from the world of R&B/Soul. The Fuzztone guitar on "That Lady" and "Summer Breeze" and the driving funk rhythms everywhere, make this a must have for any soulie worth their salt. Their take on the Doobie Bros "Listen to the Music" is pure funk madness; different to the original but better than just copying IYKWIM.

The Checkmates Ltd - "Proud Mary" 1969



The energy in those grooves courtesy of that gospel choir is awesome.

Producer , Phil Spector, threw everything at this session by the sounds of it.

Has to be the best ever R&B verion of this John Fogerty classic (IMHO anyway)

Now get me off the ceiling! :bounce: :bounce:

This has to be the perfect segue with the previous, to keep the floor going, when you're DJ' ing down at the pensioners' disco. Slight key change but otherwise spot on :mrgreen:



KTF. :wink:

I did refer to the original CCR record as a classic. One of the first records I bought, aged 11, then Bad Moon Rising, and You made me so very happy by Blood Sweat and Tears.

OTOH, I also bought Yellow River by Christie, and Montego Bay by Bobby Bloom but least said about them the better :lol: :lol:

It's hard to beat the opening track ( I put a spell on you ) from the first album. I was just thinking I should dig that out.
