What does it take to be a die hard Beatles fan?

@stuartk I share your assessment of “Sgt. Pepper.”  
The White Album, an album that contains compositions like, “Martha My Dear,” “Blackbird,” “Happiness is a Warm Gun,” “Julia,” “Dear Prudence,” “Cry Baby Cry,” “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “Sexy Sadie,” “I Will,” “Mother Nature’s Son,” and emerged from the same sessions that produced, “Hey Jude” clearly constitute the Beatles at peak-level musical composition.  
That grouping of compositions (the compositions stand on their own, free of the showy, ‘look at all the crazy studio stuff we can do!’ adornments of ‘66-‘67, which are amazing in their own right) shows far greater consistency and depth in its plethora of harmonically and structurally sophisticated compositions (but still immediately accessible and immediately satisfying to the laymen - not an easy thing to accomplish) than previous or subsequent LPs.  
No other Beatles album had a dozen songs at that level, before or after.

You’re incorrect on the song, “Something,” by the way.

George Harrison played that guitar solo.

OK. My mistake. I was sure I'd read an interview with Harrison many years ago in which he said EC played it but evidently I must have imagined it!  

I agree with your assessment of the White Album. 

Mr. Clapton plays lead on "My Guitar Gently Weeps".

Here’s a snippet from Guitar World magazine:

”Because Studio Two was the only studio in Abbey Road with the new TG console, the mics in Studio One were patched into the Studio Two console for this session. Geoff Emerick and co-engineer Phil McDonald had visual contact via a closed-circuit TV.  ​​​​​​​

Harrison also rerecorded his guitar solo in Studio Two at this session. According to details on the tape box, the solo was recorded after the orchestra session was completed, but Emerick maintains that the solo was cut simultaneously with the orchestra and on one or both of the same tracks.

“George certainly rose to the occasion and pulled it off brilliantly,” Emerick says.”

As Bob Dylan once sang, "Confusion reigns like bullets bark." And a pop quiz... What song is this line from?☺
