Description
The Beatles White Album and the Launch of Apple by Bruce Spizer explores one of the most iconic albums in rock history. Released in 1968, the double album features 30 tracks that showcase the band's eclectic range, from rock 'n' roll to folk, heavy metal, and calypso. In addition to delving into the music, this book also examines the business venture behind the album: Apple Records. The story of how the Beatles launched their record label and created a new era in popular music is an integral part of the book's narrative. From "Hey Jude" to Mary Hopkin's nostalgic classic "Those Were The Days," the impact of the White Album on music history cannot be overstated. By examining both the music and the business behind it, Spizer provides a comprehensive look at this pivotal moment in rock history.
