"TWA" or "A Doll's House" ???
:
The original title for The White Album was going to be "A Doll's House", named after the famous Norwegian playwright Henrik Ibsen's 1879 masterpiece.
(original Norwegian title: Et dukkehjem)
Apparently, the boys decided against such a stilted literary title and went w/ the more mundane "The Beatles"--which became nicknamed "TWA" (and eventually stuck).
Personally, I prefer the original concept of "ADH", which gives rise to a million cover-art possibilities, which alas, is purely academic now.
BlueMeanie:
I like the concept of The White Album. First you have their most ambitious album - Sgt. Pepper, with their most ambitious cover. And seeing as TWA was pretty much a no frills affair, the plain white cover perfectly complements it. One extreme to the other. IMO of course.

these aethetic "rules" arent written in stone.

I never said they were. ;)
