Rare Mulitcored Vinyl Copy of The White Album (Via Flickr)

The Beatles recorded “The White Album” from May 30th to October 14th 1968 mostly at Abbey Road Studios.  One of my personal highlights from the album was Eric Clapton joining The Beatles to play on While My Guitar Gently Weeps.

(Prince & George Harrison were both inducted that year.)

(Watch this from the 3:32 point onward and be blown away by Prince’s guitar work rivaling Clapton’s, yes I said it!)
