From 2003 until 2011, Hitchcock held a benefit concert most years at the small Three Kings club in London, and each time he performed one of his favorite albums by some other musical act, from start to finish. This, the second such concert, was his version of the classic "White Album" by the Beatles in 1968. Usually, he played some extra songs at the end of the concert. But since this was a double album, he just played every song from the White Album, in order, and nothing else.
Hitchcock was backed by a small band that included Kimberley Rew and Morris Windsor, two members of his 1970s band the Soft Boys. They were occasionally joined by others, for instance on "Revolution 9" (where backing tapes were also used).
I only have a limited number of editing techniques that I know, but they were pretty useful for this album. First, I ran every song through the MVSEP program to remove the crowd noise during songs, while keeping the cheering at the ends of songs. Then, I ran all the songs through MVSEP again, this time boosting the vocals relative to the instruments. I think these edits made a big difference. Now, this sounds more like a soundboard than an audience bootleg, though it still sounds far from pristine.
This album is the hour and 48 minutes long.

For the album cover, I did a parody of the official Beatles cover. I basically just replaced the text "The Beatles" with Hitchcock's name, in the same light grey font. Then I added some additional information at the bottom.
