The Beatles self-titled 1968 record, known affectionately as the “White Album,” is their most idiosyncratic. It had a mix of everything — the Cold War, a backwoods raccoon, drugs, whatever the hell “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” meant. Fittingly, its cover, a piece of stark white cardboard designed by Richard Hamilton, was just as interpretive. People would write love letters on it, put their addresses on it, paint it. “The cover being entirely white, it picked up all kinds of stains and drawings,” artist Rutherford Chang (@webuywhitealbums) tells @music. “That’s when I started collecting them with the purpose of getting as many as possible.”
Today Rutherford owns 1,373 first edition copies of the “White Album,” each of which come embossed with its own unique serial number. Last year, he displayed them all in a record store exhibit in New York City. Now he plans to take the show on the road to Europe. “I don’t think it would work as well with any other album,” he says. “It’s the ultimate record to collect.”
