The Beatles (commonly referred to as the White Album ) is the ninth studio album and only double album by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968, and their first LP issued on Apple. Featuring a plain white sleeve, the cover contains no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed, a deliberate contrast to the band's previous LP, Sgt.

It has since been viewed by some critics as a postmodern work, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest albums of all time.
