‘The Beatles’ (more commonly known as ‘The White Album’ ) was released on 22nd November 1968. Widely held to be one of the most influential albums of all-time, it was given the number one position in the ‘200 Rarest Records of All Time’ by ‘Record Collector’ magazine. The two-record set, housed in a plain white cover was designed by Richard Hamilton and each carried its own unique number stamped on the front cover. Copies numbered 0000001 to 0000004 were originally given to the members of The Beatles themselves and as yet, none of these first four numbers have emerged onto the market.Originally self-titled, the album came to be known as the ‘White Album’ because of its minimalist artwork, which was created by pop artist Richard Hamilton.
