![]() ![]() So why does The White Album still capture the imagination of music lovers? Obviously, this is a walrus-sized game of devil’s advocate we’re playing here, but I’d suggest that, more than any of The Beatles’ albums, it’s the one that hits listeners the hardest. But if you were to tell them that their demos, discarded ideas, studio badinage, and even food orders (George was a cheese, Marmite and lettuce sandwich man, who knew?) would amount to one of 2018’s most anticipated releases, even they might have been startled.īut here we are – following the success of last year’s Sgt Pepper’s remix-plus-outtakes package, Apple have ransacked the vaults for a set comprising a version of “The White Album” remixed by Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell, a disc of home recordings (the majority of which previously circulated on murky bootlegs as The Esher Demos), and three discs collecting the most notable outtakes from the album sessions. It is reasonable to assume that, by 1968, the capacity of the four Beatles to be shocked by the scale of their success had been reduced somewhat, if only to preserve a semblance of sanity.
