What songs would you have on it? Remember, we're talking about a vinyl format, with Side One and Side Two.

I'd say:

Side One

Back in the USSR
Dear Prudence
While My Guitar Gently Weeps
Happiness is a Warm Gun
I'm So Tired
Blackbird
Julia

Side Two

Birthday
Yer Blues
Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me and My Monkey
Sexy Sadie
Helter Skelter
Good Night


What would you include on/jettison from the album?

    I think your choices sound GREAT - except that you left off "Long, Long, Long" which is my favorite Beatles song by a LONGshot.....include that one and you've got yourself a winner!

    well I, like Paul, have always been against this notion of making the White album just a single disc. Ringo and George Martin agree with you though that it should have been a single. though I disagree, for the sake of argument, here's my single disc White album:

    side 1:
    Back in the USSR
    Dear Prudence
    Happiness is a Warm Gun
    I'm So Tired
    Martha My Dear
    Blackbird
    While My Guitar Gently Weeps

    side 2:
    Yer Blues
    Sexy Sadie
    Mother Nature's Son
    Helter Skelter
    Revolution (the fast version)
    Cry Baby Cry
    Revolution 9 (shortened to about a minute and half or so)
    Good Night
    2000: Camden 1, 2003: Philly, State College, Camden 1, MSG 2, Hershey, 2004: Reading, 2005: Philly, 2006: Camden 1, 2, East Rutherford 1, 2007: Lollapalooza, 2008: Camden 1, Washington D.C., MSG 1, 2, 2009: Philly 1, 2, 3, 4, 2010: Bristol, MSG 2, 2011: PJ20 1, 2, 2012: Made In America, 2013: Brooklyn 2, Philly 2, 2014: Denver, 2015: Global Citizen Festival, 2016: Philly 2, Fenway 1, 2018: Fenway 1, 2, 2021: Sea.

    really? that's an interesting choice. i think this would rank up there with his weakest work. harrison's best work of all time (also on the album) imo is 'while my guitar gently weeps.'

    oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
