This is an original, early first pressing of this great album, vinyl in fab, hardly played condition.

The Beatles changed music forever with Sgt Pepper. But in 1968 they made an album that mapped out rock’s future – as they themselves were falling apart. 1968 - Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy were both assassinated, The Soviet Union invaded Czechoslovakia; France had the Winter Olympics and Intel was founded. The Beatles, meanwhile, launched their own record label, Apple, with the single “Hey Jude”. On November 22, 1968 they released The Beatles, which is really known as the White Album. Gone was the psychedelia of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour, and in its place was a pure white sleeve, with The Beatles embossed on the cover and originally each copy came with its own individual number. It was presented as a work of art, because it was perhaps one of the greatest works of art ever created.

The Beatles’ ninth original UK album, and their 15th in the United States, was their first double-length release. Commonly known as the White Album, the self-titled collection of 30 songs stands as a majestic cornucopia of styles, born from one of the group’s most creative periods.
