The Beatles - White Album (1968.)
The Beatles , također poznat kao " The White Album ", deveti je studijski album engleskog rock benda The Beatles , objavljen 22. studenog 1968. Dvostruki album , obični bijeli omot koji nema grafike ili teksta osim imena benda. , [a] koji je bio zamišljen kao izravni kontrast živopisnom naslovnom dijelu prethodnog LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Klub Band . Iako nisu izdani singlovi iz The Beatlesa u Velikoj Britaniji i Sjedinjenim Državama, pjesme " Hey Jude " i " Revolution " nastale su na istim sesijama snimanja i izdane su na singlu u kolovozu 1968. godine. i ska do pasti Chuck Berry i Karlheinz Stockhausen .
Većina pjesama na albumu napisana je tijekom ožujka i travnja 1968. na tečaju transcendentalne meditacije u Rishikeshu , Indija. Grupa se krajem svibnja vratila u EMI -jev Studiji Abbey Road u Londonu kako bi započela snimanje koje je trajalo do sredine listopada. Tijekom tih sesija, među kreativnim razlikama izbila su svađa između četvorice. Još jedan element koji je razdvajao bila je stalna prisutnost novog partnera Johna Lennona , Yoko Ono , čije je prisustvo u studiju prekinuto politikom Beatlesa u vezi sa suprugama i djevojkama koje nisu prisustvovale snimanju. Nakon niza problema, uključujući producenta Georgea Martina koji je iznenada napustio odsustvo, a inženjer Geoff Emerick odjednom napustio, Ringo Starr napustio je bend nakratko u kolovozu. Iste napetosti nastavile su se i sljedeće godine, što je dovelo do raspada benda do 1970. godine.
Nakon objavljivanja, The Beatles su dobili pozitivne kritike od većine glazbenih kritičara , ali su drugi komentatori njegove satirične pjesme smatrali nevažnim i apolitičnim usred burne političke i društvene klime 1968. godine. Bend i Martin kasnije raspravljali su o tome hoće li grupa objaviti album umjesto toga. Bez obzira na to, Beatlesi su stigli na prvo mjesto na ljestvicama u Velikoj Britaniji i Sjedinjenim Državama, a neki kritičari su ga smatrali jednim od najvećih albuma svih vremena.
