Description:

The Beatles, universally known as The White Album, is one of the most iconic and ambitious albums in popular music history. Originally released in 1968, the band's ninth studio album showcases the extraordinary range of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr across 30 tracks.

From the explosive opening of "Back In The U.S.S.R." and the atmospheric "Dear Prudence", through classics including "While My Guitar Gently Weeps", "Blackbird", "Helter Skelter" and "Revolution 1", the album moves between rock, pop, folk, blues and experimental music.

This is the 1986 European Direct Metal Mastering (DMM) reissue, pressed on black vinyl and housed in the iconic white gatefold sleeve. Unlike the original 1968 edition, this copy does not have a numbered sleeve.
