Celebrating 50 years of The White Album
The White Album has been described as a ‘masterpiece’ rooted in their ‘wildest, strangest, most experimental musical phase’ – they wrote the bulk of the record while meditating in India.
The album has 4 sides and featured a mammoth 30 tracks! Part of the complex of the album comes down to all the drama that went into it at Abbey Roads – the arguments, the bad vibes, the stuff of legends…
One person that was there was the record's producer, Chris Thomas, and hear from him as he reflects on the time he spent in the studio making the record, as he got to know The Beatles and their entourage!
