Ringo and his wife left after ten days. Paul McCartney and Jane Asher left after five weeks. Lennon and Harrison returned sixteen days later. During their time there, they wrote songs on acoustic guitars and jammed with Donovan, Mike Love of The Beach Boys and the American jazz flautist, Paul Horn. They brought back to England 40 new songs. On May 30, 1968, work began at Abbey Road Studios on what many consider their most creative and controversial album or, in this case, double album. Simply titled, The Beatles, this November, 1968, release soon became known as The White Album because of its austere, white album cover. It went on to become The Beatles' largest selling LP. *About These Guys:* *Mike Kearns *studied composition and classical guitar at Baldwin-Wallace with Dr. Loris O. Chobanian.
