The White Album is what it is and needs to be digested whole, warts and all. I've been listening to that album for so many years, I can't imagine cutting it down. It's probably the first dreaded self-indulgent double album in rock history. Can anyone think of an earlier one? Once again, the Beatles did it first (and I think it's one of the best dreaded doubles ever). Totally biased, of course.
