Think of The Beatles’ White Album like a blank canvas that is splashed with vibrant colours and rich textures with each remarkable cut. Written mainly during a spiritual retreat in Rishikesh, India in 1968, the album showcases each of the Beatles’ songwriting skills and features eclectic musical diversity, such as 1930’s dance hall music in “Honey Pie” and classical chamber music in “Piggie”. The White Album is the tenth best-selling album of all time, made Rolling Stone magazine’s top albums of all time list, and has been a milestone in The Beatles’ continuing influence on artists ever since.
