The Compleat Beatles is a reference to a book by what author?
The Compleat Beatles The Compleat Beatles, released in 1982, is a two-hour documentary chronicling the career of the Beatles. Although it has since been supplanted by the longer and more in-depth documentary "Beatles Anthology", "The Compleat Beatles" was for many years largely regarded as the definitive film about the Beatles. The word "" is a tongue-in-cheek reference to the intentional misspelling of "Beetles" and a reference to the famous book on fishing, "The Compleat Angler".
The Beatles (album) The Beatles, also known as the White Album, is the ninth studio album by English rock group the Beatles, released on 22 November 1968. A double album, its plain white sleeve has no graphics or text other than the band's name embossed, which was intended as a direct contrast to the vivid cover artwork of the band's earlier "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band". Although no singles were issued from "The Beatles" in Britain and the United States, the songs "Hey Jude" and "Revolution" originated from the same recording sessions and were issued on a single in August 1968. The album's songs range in style from British blues and ska to tracks influenced by Chuck Berry and by Karlheinz Stockhausen.
