GLENN GREENBERG’S GREAT NEW MAGAZINE/ BOOK ABOUT THE CREATION OF THE WHITE ALBUM BY THE BEATLES!
“The Beatles”, known more prominently over the years as “The White Album”, was a perfect follow-up to the ornate and psychedelic creation of the band known as “Sgt Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.” The 30 song double album with the blank white cover and the embossed group name featured the dynamic versatility of the band and demonstrated to the public that the group was not tied or limited to a specific style of music. There was something for everyone on the two disks.
Unfortunately, some critics contend that the album’s greatest strength was also it’s biggest weakness as group members began to be heading in different artistic directions. The producer, George Martin, felt like he was losing his guidance role in the studio and had the preference for the album to be a single LP with only the best tracks on the disk. It was also a more frequent occurrence to not see the full band present at all the sessions.
The band solidarity seemed to be more fragmented and the disagreements between the band members became more visible to engineers and others present in the studio. George Harrison began taking a more active role in contributing excellent songs to the Beatles canon of work. John Lennon’s attentions were also being directed to his fascination with Japanese artist, Yoko Ono.
A brand new 100 page “Bookazine” dealing with many of the subjects mentioned above has been created by author Glenn Greenberg and it is a true delight. Featuring many wonderful accompanying photos from the era, the stories about the creation of the album and the description of the milieu of the times is spot on and you will thoroughly enjoy this wonderful title in your collections. Here are a few sample pages from the magazine which I purchased on Ebay.
