Rockshow Episode 152 The making of the White album with special guest Anthony Winkler

RockerMike, Rob and Anthony Winkler from Hey Bartender discuss The making of The Beatles White Album. The Beatles, also known colloquially as the White Album, is the ninth studio album and only double album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968. Featuring a plain white sleeve, the cover contains no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed. This was intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the band's previous LP Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles is recognised for its fragmentary style and diverse range of genres, including folk, British blues, ska, music hall and the avant-garde. It has since been viewed by some critics as a postmodern work, as well as among the greatest albums of all time. The album features 30 songs, 19 of which were written during March and April 1968 at a Transcendental Meditation course in Rishikesh, India. There, the only western instrument available to the band was the acoustic guitar; several of these songs remained acoustic on The Beatles and were recorded solo, or only by part of the group. The production aesthetic ensured that the album's sound was scaled-down and less reliant on studio innovation than most of their releases since Revolver (1966). The Beatles also broke with the band's tradition at the time of incorporating several musical styles in one song by keeping each piece of music consistently faithful to a select genre. https://www.amazon.com/Beatles-White-Album/dp/B000002UAX https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/review-the-beatles-white-album-186863/amp/ https://www.loudersound.com/features/50-things-you-need-to-know-about-the-beatles-white-album https://anchor.fm/heybartenderpodcast https://m.youtube.com/channel/UCdj6KimD0RQ5mmpgmRiOQ7g https://open.spotify.com/show/4hFjXqQ0Aur33qSGpYKdgo https://heybartenderpodcast.com/blogs/news https://www.tiktok.com/@heybartenderpodcast/video/7026538534173478150 https://www.instagram.com/winkler.anthony/ https://mobile.twitter.com/heybartender
