Had the White album been edited down to one album it could have been a perfect album, but the Beatles chose to leave a dozen or so not brilliant songs which probably should have been saved for a future Beatle's outtake album instead of left on the ablum.
Personally, I have similar feelings about the 'White Album' as I do Sgt Pepper. I think it's a good album but I genuinely can't understand the praise it gets. I'm in agreement with our crazy-haired friend, Numberninedream, in this. No amount of whittling down the track-listing would have created a "perfect" album as by this point in time there is no Beatles to make a "perfect" Beatles record.
