I mentioned something similar in a previous thread, but...
In the Anthology documentary, Ringo remarks that the White Album would have been better had it been released as a single album. He's right. You can remove a lot of filler and have what is arguably among the best Beatles albums. I'd still take Help!, Rubber Soul, and Revolver over it (A Hard Day's Night, too), but a single White Album release, in retrospect, might have ranked above Sgt. Pepper and Abbey Road. As is, it's a somewhat directionless album. Lennon once said (paraphrasing) that it was four solo albums cobbled together as a Beatles record. It's more like three solo albums, but yeah.
I recall several posters coming up with 10-song lists of what would make a strong single-LP White Album. I was forced to cut a few good songs, but the listening experience was better for it.
