    I personally think its very good, and certainly as good as the Pepper remaster that came out recently. The Demo's are even better imo..
    If Alex thinks it stinks then that's his right. No point in arguing about it.
    No probs just debating. Also, Alex did not just say it stinks but did some rather long posts as to why, which I replied too.

    I think it sounds fantastic and simply adding a few facts as to why, otherwise we don't have a white album thread.

    George Martin had very little input into the White Album and was a producer for the most part in name only.

    The current UK law protects copyright for 70 years after publication or the death of the performer.

    yeah, though it was now 70. McCartney had to do a lawsuit at time after Jackson died to try and get them back due to a US law I think that had time constraints. Sony paid 750 mil for jacksons 50%. shows how much these things are worth.

    Agreed, but the original suggestion that the album be "nationalised" is just bonkers. Having said that, we should re-nationalise rail, the postal service and public utilities. I don't care about the remix, just stop them being vehicles for private profit!

    Don't you just hate it when you cannot detect where the post ends and a signature line begins?

    I didn't know that. I knew that he had little to do with "Let It Be", but I thought White Album was still under his jurisdiction. I am aware that he was disappointed that the boys have abandoned the recording approach they perfected in 1967, but at the same time he was aware that the Beatles were all about change, moving on, and never repeating themselves.

    There are numerous photos of him in the studio with the Beatles during the White Album sessions. Was he there merely for shooting breeze?

    He was there but had from what I can gather rather more of a backseat as the band themselfes took more controle over the recordings.
