The White Album (1968) Part 1

<p>It was great! It sold! It's the bloody Beatles' White Album!</p> <p>And, no, Paul; we won’t shut up.</p> <p>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”.)</p> <p>And despite this record’s massive length and girth (Sfx: a pained, guttural groan), Tony & T.J. find the time to ask:</p> <p> 🎅🏾 Is the “perfect” Christmas gift at Walgreens, Woolworth, Woolco, Osco, Venture, Wieboldt's or Montgomery Ward?</p> <p> 🕳 What uniquely-numbered episode did you download? And was it manufactured in Jacksonville, Jackson Hole, or Jackson’s Whole?</p> <p> 🍬 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?</p> <p>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”!</p> <p>Join the Discord party and <a href='https://www.patreon.com/untitledbeatlespod'>support us on Patreon</a>! <a href='https://www.untitledbeatlespodcast.com/subscribe'>Rate and review us</a>, unless you’re unnecessarily cruel!</p>
