"The Beatles (aka "The White Album") was not only the band's best-selling album, it was the best-selling album of the entire 1960's. Now you can experience this remarkable record as never before. In Deconstructing The Beatles' White Album, a multimedia lecture, "Beatleologist" Scott Freiman gets under the hood of this groundbreaking album and shows us what made it run so well. The White Album's thirty songs span almost every style of music--from hard rock to country to chamber music to avant-garde. Its recording took place during a remarkable year in Beatles history that included the death of Brian Epstein, the creation of Apple Corps, and a trip to India to study meditation. In this educational, hugely-entertaining film, Scott brings us into Abbey Road Studio for a look at the revolutionary techniques used during the production of "Revolution," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Blackbird," and other timeless songs. Deconstructing The Beatles' White Album is an educational journey into the creative process of The Beatles' performances and recording sessions, allowing us to see and hear the evolution of these groundbreaking songs and their lasting influence on popular music."--Container
