The Beatles (Remastered 2009)

The Beatles is the ninth studio album and only double album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968. Featuring a plain white sleeve, the cover contains no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed. This was intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the band's previous LP, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. The Beatles is recognised for its fragmentary style and diverse range of genres, including folk, country rock, British blues, ska, music hall, hard rock and avant-garde. Some critics have since viewed it as a postmodern work, and it is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time. The album was the band's first LP release on their then-recently founded Apple Records. In late May 1968, the Beatles returned to EMI Studios in London to commence recording sessions that lasted until mid-October. During these sessions, arguments frequently broke out among the foursome over creative differences and the presence of John Lennon's new partner, Yoko Ono, which countered the Beatles' policy of excluding wives and girlfriends from the studio.
