The Beatles’ “White Album” (November 1968) originally was going to be called “A Doll’s House”, reflecting the spooky, odd, and varied collection of songs on it. The group Family beat them by just a few months however: their album “Music in a Doll’s House” was released in July 1968, forcing The Beatles to change their plans.

John Patrick Byrne had already been commissioned to provide the cover art to The Beatles’ “A Doll’s House”, which was later re-used for their 1980 “The Beatles Ballads” collection.
