Ein etwas umstrittenes Album der "Fab Four", mit Sicherheit aber deren ungewöhnlichstes - 1968 waren die Streitereien innerhalb der Band fast schon unerträglich geworden, daher gingen die Musiker alle separate Wege und führten ihre Arbeiten im "White Album" zusammen. Entsprechend kunterbunt sieht das Ergebnis aus - dem puristischen Cover zum Trotz. Da kommen Folk-, Blues- und Rockklänge ebenso zum Tragen wie experimentelle Töne (allen voran im meistgehaßten Beatles-Song "Revolution 9"). oder opulente Schmachtfetzen à la "Good Night". Dieses Album verfolgt kein Konzept, ist aber trotzdem ein Meilenstein.
