The first time I heard this album I was in the first year of college. I had been in love with the Beatles since I first heard them listening at night to my tiny transistor radio when I was in the 8th grade. Loved every stage from the mop-headed English boys all the way through to this album of musical genius. I was very fortunate to have grown up with the Beatles and I thank them for giving me such a rich musical heritage. And thank you for letting me see through this program the many ways this album and the Beatles themselves affected others through the years. This show was such a treat and I am so happy I happened upon your website today just by chance. Please keep so generously making
these wonderful glances into worlds of which we would otherwise be ignorant available to the public. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Several copies went to paper-thin status on our turntable, then to recordable 8 tracks and cassettes.
Thanks for revisting this piece of art history. Still amazing today.
Thank you for highlighting this album. One of the great album adventures of all time - so rare nowadays.
I first heard it in high school (1973) on drugs and it completely opened my mind about the Beatles. It was good to hear various perspectives on how the songs affected people "back in the day". There are so many facets to this gem!
Martha My Dear inspired me to learn piano. Julia inspired me to fingerpick - and on and on.
Kudos to you and yours.

This is so cool!
The white album is one of the best ever made. Beatles or not. There are so many amazing tracks that it's impossible for me to pick a favorite.
