*aka the ‘white album‘*
.
(the original ‘vinyl copies’ released in ‘1968’ had the band’s name ‘blind embossed’ on a ‘white background’)
(these pressings were also ‘numbered’)
(not the ‘10000001’ serial number tilted ‘southwest’ (or ‘northeast’?) in ‘bottom right corner’)
(“design” (if you want to call it that) by ‘richard hamilton’)

*”the beatles” ) is the 9th studio album by english rock group ‘the beatles’, released on ’22 november 1968’*
.
(cue “john-drone”: “numba nine numba nine numba mine”…’mutters and mumbles to self’…)
(spoken by a ‘sound engineer’?)
(what was his name?)
(a ‘double album’, its ‘plain white sleeve’ has no ‘graphics’ or ‘text’ other than the band’s name embossed, which was intended as a ‘direct contrast’ to the vivid ‘cover artwork’ of the band’s earlier “sergeant pepper’s lonely hearts club band”)
(although no singles were issued from the beatles in ‘britain’ and the ‘united states’, the songs “hey jude” and “revolution” originated from the same recording sessions and were issued on a single in ‘august 1968’)
(the album’s songs range in style from ‘british blues’ and ‘ska’ to tracks influenced by ‘chuck berry’ and ‘karlheinz stockhausen’)
(most of the songs on the album were written during ‘march’ and ‘april’ (1968) at a ‘transcendental meditation’ course in (‘rishikesh’ / ‘india’))
(the group returned to ‘EMI studios’ in ‘may’ to commence ‘recording sessions’ that lasted through to ‘october’)
(during these sessions, arguments broke out among the ‘beatles’, and witnesses in the studio saw band members quarrel over ‘creative differences’)
(another divisive element was caused by the constant presence of john lennon’s new partner, ‘yoko ono’, whose attendance at the sessions broke with the beatles’ policy regarding ‘wives’ and ‘girlfriends’)
(after a series of problems, including producer ‘george martin’ taking a sudden ‘leave of absence’ and engineer ‘geoff emerick’ quitting, ‘ringo starr’ left the band briefly in ‘august’)
(the same tensions continued throughout the following year, leading to the eventual break-up of ‘the beatles’ on “10 april 1970′)
(on release, the beatles received favorable reviews from the majority of ‘music critics’)
(other commentators found its ‘satirical’ songs ‘unimportant’ and ‘apolitical’, however, amid the turbulent ‘political’ and ‘social climate’ of ‘1968’)
(the band and ‘martin’ have since debated whether the group should have released a ‘single album’ instead)
.
(nonetheless, the beatles reached #1 on the charts in both the ‘united kingdom’ and 1 ‘united states’ and has since been viewed by some critics as one of the “greatest albums of all time”)
