Recorded at Abbey Road Studios and Trident Studios, London, England between May and October 1968.
THE BEATLES (generally known as "The White Album" because of its cover) was a sprawling two-record set, highlighting the distinct personalities in the group as they matured and moved further away from each other. With the four Beatles playing like session men on each other`s songs, the making of the album was fraught with tension. John Lennon`s songs included a bitter take on people who read too much into the Beatles` lyrics ("Glass Onion"), reflections on loneliness and alienation ("Yer Blues," "I`m So Tired"), and the avant garde sound collage "Revolution 9."
George Harrison`s songs offered black humor ("Piggies") and tender sadness ("While My Guitar Gently Weeps," with Eric Clapton on guitar). Paul McCartney provided both light, lyric songs ("Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Honey Pie"), and rockers ("Back In The U.S.S.R.," the explosive "Helter Skelter"). Ringo Starr made his solo songwriting debut with the goofy country/ska lilt of "Don`t Pass Me By" and sang the album closer "Good Night."

    I love the Beatles early music. There was one cut I particularly wanted on this album. It is great! Overstock did a super job with prompt delivery.
