This is so hard...I need to think about it. The only tracks I could cut without second thought are Revolution 9, Good Night and Don't Pass Me By. Every other song is just so 'White Album' it wouldn't be acceptable to cut them. I'll fiddle with some playlists and see what works.
Nowadays, Revolution 9 is one of my favorites. And the greatest!
I sometimes listen to it on its own even. In fact, I'm planning on filling 2 whole sides of a 90 -minute cassette with Revolution no.9 , and this I will listen to on a continuous loop and I will allow It to wash over me as I notice my formation of complete, and clarified thoughts. It will provide me with an atmosphere of calmness. I calmness.
the real song on the album. and the greatest!
I dig what you're saying, but I couldn't include it on a 40 minute comp. it's just HAnds donw too long! you're nuts if you think it isn't halblainisgood.
Look at all those other songs - you'd have to remove 7 minutes worth on top of the 40 minute cut to add Revolution 9. Part of why I love The White Album so gosh darn much is just how large it feels. its a long, sprawling story that is tied together in the atmosphere the track create by being side by side. I just dunno how to condense and still retain that feeling.
