The Beatles followed up the over the top psychedelic imagery of 1967’s Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band and Magical Mystery Tour with 1968’s White Album which featured a plain white cover (which is where the album gets it’s name as it’s real name is actually simply The Beatles.) In some ways the music on the album is more stripped back and less elaborate than that on those previous two albums but that certainly doesn’t mean it was a step back. In fact it’d be pretty easy to make the argument that with “Revolution 9″ the band was stepping so far forward that we still have yet to reach where it’s at 40 years later. This article is about the four sides of that incredible double LP.
