Released in November 1968, the band's self-titled double album captures them at their most adventurous, moving effortlessly between rock, blues, folk, country, psychedelia and avant-garde experimentation. Featuring legendary recordings including Back In The U.S.S.R., While My Guitar Gently Weeps, Blackbird, Helter Skelter, Dear Prudence and Happiness Is A Warm Gun, it remains one of the defining releases of the vinyl era.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe dedicated mono mix was prepared separately from the stereo edition and contains numerous differences in edits, effects and balances, making it the preferred version for many Beatles collectors and enthusiasts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePressing Notes\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOriginal 1968 UK first mono pressing on Apple Records, catalogue number PMC 7067\/7068, complete with the desirable numbered sleeve No. 0087186 and the first issue Apple labels without the \"An E.M.I.
