"The Black Album" was originally recorded in 1996 by The Dandy Warhols as a follow up to their debut album, "Dandys Rule, OK?", but was rejected by the band's label Capitol Records. The songs "Good Morning", "Minnesoter" and "Boys" (as "Boys Better") were later rerecorded and appeared on the "…The Dandy Warhols Come Down" album.

After many years of being traded by fans, the album was officially released by the band on their own Beat the World Records label in 2004, available exclusively from their [http://www.dandywarhols.com official website] , as part one of a two disc set along with the B-sides compilation "Come on Feel the Dandy Warhols".

The name of the album is a refference to the beatles album "the beatles" also known as the white album. Taylor-Taylor has said in many interviews that he is a big beatles fan.
