To my ears, the White Album is near perfect but is dragged down by the lack of Stevie vocals who at the time was in perfect voice. Why the group didn't tap into her strength more just seems like a huge missed opportunity considering she became the group's centre of attention only a few short months later. Side one and two both should have had at least 2 Stevie songs and I've always felt that the group should've tackled Sorcerer on side two just before I'm so Afraid. Crystal while performed nicely, actually would've stood out more with a bit of a harder edge such as a good Stevie wail near the end that emerged on a couple of live versions. Rhiannon is perfect the way it is, and World Turning should stay as a Christine/Lindsey duet. Other than that, I wouldn't change a thing.
