The Beatles (the White Album)
22 November 1968AppleUKGeorge Martin
Thirty tracks in a plain white sleeve numbered as a limited lithograph. Written largely in Rishikesh, recorded through a summer of rifts, with Yoko in the studio, Ringo walking out, and four increasingly separate writers sharing a brand.
Territorial note
The UK and US track lists match. Early sleeves carried a unique serial number; later pressings dropped it. Some territories censored the ‘nude’ collage poster.
