It is more commonly known as *The White Album* as it has no graphics or text other than the bands name (and, on the early LP and CD releases, a serial number) on its plain white sleeve. The album was the first The Beatles undertook following the death of their manager Brian Epstein. Originally entitled A Dolls House, the title was changed when theprogressive band Family released the similarly titled Music in a Dolls House earlier that year. Most of the songs that would end up on The Beatles had been conceived during the groups visit to Rishikesh, India in the spring of 1968. There, they had undertaken a transcendental meditation course with Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Although the retreat, which had required long periods of meditation, was initially conceived by the band as a spiritual respite from all worldly endeavours—a chance, in John Lennons words, to *get away from everything* — both Lennon and Paul McCartney had quickly found themselves in songwriting mode, often meeting *clandestinely in the afternoons in each others rooms* to review the new work. *Regardless of what I was supposed to be doing,* Lennon would later recall, *I did write some of my best songs there.* Close to 40 new compositions had emerged in Rishikesh, 23 of which would be laid down in very rough form at Kinfauns, George Harrisons home in Esher, in May of 1968. The Beatles had left Rishikesh before the end of the course, with Ringo Starr and then McCartney departing first, and Lennon and Harrison departing together later. According to some reports, Lennon left Rishikesh because he felt personally betrayed by rumors that Maharishi had made sexual advances toward Mia Farrow, who had accompanied The Beatles on their trip. Shortly after he decided to leave, Lennon wrote a song called *Maharishi* which included the lyrics, *Maharishi/You little twat*; the song became *Sexy Sadie*. According to several authors, Alexis Mardas (aka *Magic Alex*) deliberately engineered these rumors because he was bent on undermining the Maharishis influence over each Beatle. Lennon himself, in a 1980 interview, acknowledged that the Maharishi was the inspiration for the song: *I just called him 'Sexy Sadie..* The Beatles was recorded between 30 May 1968 and 14 October 1968, largely at Abbey Road Studios, with some sessions at Trident Studios. Although productive, the sessions were reportedly undisciplined and sometimes fractious, and they took place at a time when tensions were growing within the group. Concurrent with the recording of this album, The Beatles were launching their new multimedia business corporation Apple Corps, an enterprise that proved to be a source of significant stress for the band. ...wikipedia Track Listing All songs written and composed by Lennon/McCartney, except where noted.

"..rumors that Maharishi had made sexual advances toward Mia Farrow.."
The advances were made to Prudence Farrow. The song "Dear Prudence" was written about Prudence's holing herself up in her cabin due to too much meditation, so the story goes.
