Poll question: Why was the Beatles'
Edited on Tue Mar-15-05 07:24 PM by HalfManHalfBiscuit
"White Album" white?

I'm thinking it was drug-related because that's what the Beatles were all about. They also must have been in a stupor while choosing the title.

1. Other: Computer foul-up while designing album cover.
Contents wiped from hard drive just before deadline - had to improvise.

5. White can symbolize a lot of things
Besides drugs. Personally, I haven't looked into the subject much. If I were to make an album a color though, it would be for symbolic reasons, representing an idea.

8. It was a Classy Cover for a Classy, soon to be Classic, Album
There was an illustration prepared for the album; the choice was made to 'go white' instead.

I loved that album, kiddo.
