The Beatles, or the White Album

Critical opinion on The Beatles (aka the ''White Album'') in 1968 varies, the record being seen as something of a comedown after the exhilaration of the group''s somewhat over-rated predecessor, Sgt. Pepper''s Lonely Hearts Club Band. In addition, conventional wisdom holds that The Beatles marks the beginning of the end of the Lennon/McCartney partnership. This book however, exists to argue that The Beatles is not only the finest achievement of the group but can also be considered one of the greatest LP recordings of all time.
