The White Album (1968) Part 1

It was great! It sold! It's the bloody Beatles' White Album!

And, no, Paul; we won’t shut up.

Because part one of the UBP Deep Dish on “The Beatles” is finally here! Tony and T.J. are sniffer-level giddy to discuss this album-unlike-any-other. And in part one, the Two Little Piggies delve into the history and packaging (#DingDongDingDong) of one of only two official Beatles-canon albums to be known, colloquially, by two names. (The other is “Tomorrow Never Knows”, which most first-gen fans know as, of course, “File Under Rock”.)

And despite this record’s massive length and girth (Sfx: a pained, guttural groan), Tony & T.J. find the time to ask:

 🎅🏾 Is the “perfect” Christmas gift at Walgreens, Woolworth, Woolco, Osco, Venture, Wieboldt's or Montgomery Ward?

 🕳 What uniquely-numbered episode did you download? And was it manufactured in Jacksonville, Jackson Hole, or Jackson’s Whole?

 🍬 Does the inclusion of “This Boy” to the White Album Tape 2 8-track, directly after “Savoy Truffle” but before “Julia (pt. 1)”, improve the original track listing?

BUT WAIT! Is it Tony’s favorite Beatles album? Is it even in T.J.’s top three? (Or is he just too big a fan of “The Beatles In Italy” to budge?) Is everyone who only calls this album by its official name a jagbag? Tune in (#Lewisohn) this week, and likely the next six, as we deep dish “The White Album”!
