Description
by Chris Thomas (Foreword by), Brian Southall (Author)
By 1968, the Summer of Love was over--and society's turmoil was reflected by The Beatles in the studio.
The result, known as "The White Album," featured an eccentric, eclectic mixture of styles, techniques, and unconventional songs. This in-depth exploration of the classic work has two parts: the A side is the definitive guide to the album, recording, and surrounding events, while the B side focuses on how politics, technology, and culture affected people's lives . . . and caused music to change its tune.
