This was the tag line on promotional materials drawn up by advertising executives at Apple Records for the upcoming Beatles album in the autumn of 1968.

In today’s anything-goes world of pop music, such an announcement might be considered shrewd marketing. But when the Beatles decided to use it to promote their impending double LP, all hell broke loose at EMI Records. Though unbeknownst to the public at the time (and unreported since), the world’s biggest selling group was nearly dropped from its record label and hauled into court for breaking the terms stated in their 1962 recording contract. -thewhitealbumproject.com

The disc would be called the Wide Album, because of its unique width,
Lennon said. At an Apple Records board meeting, the Beatle explained to
a group of employees and Hell’s Angels that the disc would herald a “bold new era”.
