Record behind the great success of the band!

The original album was recorded in London's Olympic Sound Studios during March and July of 1968. It was the last time The Rolling Stones appeared in the original team - Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Brian Jones, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts. At the same time, it was the first album produced by Jimmy Miller. Thanks to this album, the band was shot in the world heights.

The most political song Street Fighting Man isn’t missing in the album

The inspiration for the most political song from The Rolling Stones, which isn’t missing in this album, is Jagger’s experience from an anti-war demonstration before the US embassy in London, where he heard activist Tariq Ali. At the same time, student protests took place in Paris, leading to the already legendary mass uprising in May and strikes attended by nearly a quarter of the nation. The song is called Street Fighting Man. Another distinctive song from the album is Sympathy for The Devil, who tells of Satan's visit to the Stalinist Soviet Union.

The cover will eventually bear the famous toilet!

As for the cover of the album, it was originally rejected by the US and UK publishers. It was a photograph by Michael Vosse, on which the ruined wall in the foreground with part of a toilet is captured. So the album was published with a cover, on which the name of the band and the album name Beggars Banquet in wedding font were written. The annual edition, however, finally comes out with Vosse’s cover that is inconspicuously inserted into then acceptable "wedding version".

According to legendary rock journalist Ben Fong Torres, the album Beggars Banquet is "an instant master class", which characterizes the inconsistency of 1968. In honour of the 50th anniversary, the album will be released on November 16th.  

Luxury for collectors  

The White Album will be available in several versions, whether in collectible or classic. Most of the songs that are on the album were composed in the meditation centre of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi near Indian Rishikesh. All members of the group and their wives travelled here in February 1968 to engage in meditation.

Originally it was going to be named "Dollhouse"

Interestingly, in comparison with the previous album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, it is not conceptual and has many variable styles of music (blues, hard rock, folk, ska and others), and was originally called the “Dollhouse”. The album cover was designed by Richard Hamilton, a renowned pop art artist. In Britain and America, The White Album became bestseller after a few hours and held the first place for more than two months. The deluxe album became 19x platinum and was introduced in Grammy Hall of Fame in 2000 as "a record of unmatched quality and historical significance".

It was not the last, but it was the best!

According to leading music critics, this is the best album ever released by the Beatles. After that, the band had released three more albums before they broke up in 1970. All speculation about their rebirth ended in 1980 with Lennon's death.
