6360 - THE BEATLES WHITE ALBUM & THE LAUNCH OF APPLE

By Bruce Spizer. This November marks the 56th anniversary of the Beatles White Album. In recognition of this important event in music history, acclaimed Beatles author/historian Bruce Spizer is publishing his tenth book on the Beatles. The book covers the early days of the Beatles own company, Apple Corps, through company's first four singles, including the Beatles two-sided smash "Hey Jude" b/w "Revolution" and Mary Hopkin's nostalgic classic "Those Were The Days," through the triumphant release of the group's massive double-disc LP simply titled "The BEATLES," which would soon be known as "The White Album" due to its pure white cover.
Bruce's book, complete with 150 color and original black and white photos, covers how it all began and unfolded. From the opening New York media blitz to the classic Apple press kit containing its first four singles. From the rehearsals at George's Esher bungalow to the recording sessions at Abbey Road and Trident Studios. From reviews to chart action to sales in America, the U.K. and Canada. From Beatles authors to fan recollections. From the Vietnam War to Apollo 8 circling the moon on Christmas Eve. It was 1968 and the Beatles debut releases provided the perfect soundtrack. "Hey Jude, don't make it bad/Take a sad song and make it better." "You say you want a revolution/Well, you know, we all want to change the world."
