5 Facts About the White Album's 24-Hour Sequencing Marathon

George Martin supervised a 24-hour marathon session on October 16, 1968, to sequence the White Album.
The marathon sequenced the double album’s four sides in a single continuous session.
Martin made the final sequencing decisions during this session, determining the order of the 30 tracks.
The session was necessary because the album had no single producer or clear track order until then.
The marathon approach was unusual for the time, as most albums were sequenced over multiple days.
