Nah, it's the White Album.

Nobody I know who's a Beatles obsessive calls it "The Beatles".

Including myself, and I'm very much in the above.

It's semantics at this point, much like how Metallica's fifth album isn't actually titled the Black Album, but people call it that anyway.

Their album that has an all white cover, except for the title. The album is actually a self-titled album, The Beatles.

On that same theme, Metallica’s Black Album isn’t actually titled The Black Album either.
