I bought The Beatles’ “White Album” in December 1968 (it was released in late November in the UK, 3 days later in the US, took a while to get down to us..) and I played it to death over the holidays.
Revolution?
Well, 33 1/3 for a start and it does go around
AND a double album.
AND untitled – it’s just “The White Album” for us
AND there are 2 tracks on Side 4 – Revolution 1 and Revolution 9 – which caused caustic reactions: #1 for its strong political message and #9 being described as “a sensory attack on the citadel of the intellect: a revolution in the head“.
(Mum and Dad didn’t like it, either…)
Have a listen

Fantastic and very apt contribution! 😉
Super idea for theme day!
This is the only Beatle album I haven’t got MDP 🙂 Groovy post for today’s theme.
A great theme day post.
Good one JB. I had forgotten that Beatles tune. Thanks for the memories.
Of course part of the appeal was that moms and dads didn’t like it!
I had the same idea but couldn’t find my copy – good one!
It’s a great theme for today, not only the design but the revolution of musical style!
Love this entry, John.
I had a copy of that album which I won in a competition on my local radio station, 2HD Newcastle (something to do with the Righteous Bros. if my memory serves). However sometime during the next year or so, I lent it to the girl-friend of my younger brother, who denied all knowledge of the loan, and claimed it as hers.
When I split from my husband, he thre out all my 33 1/3s, as well as some precious 78 rpms from a dead uncle.
I should have revolted both times, but …
Nice one!
That’s a lot of revolutions, jb!
