Introduction
On October 22nd, 1968, The Beatles, released their 10th studio album, eponymously titled: “The Beatles” but often nicknamed “The White Album” for its stark cover which is blank besides the band’s name embossed in the lower right region. This album was a landmark in popular music for its length (not many large pop acts had released double albums up to that point), style (the album featured blues, rockabilly, jazz, showtunes, avant-garde, and orchestral music across its 30 tracks), and its presentation (a blank white sleeve). The release was a worldwide success, landing The Beatles once again on the number 1 slot of the UK charts for 7 weeks and the US Billboard 200 for 9 weeks.
