The White Albun is the sixth studio album by Australian alternative rock band TISM, released on 24 June 2004. The title is a reference to and deliberate misspelling of The White Album, an unofficial name for the album The Beatles .
The album was released as part of a larger package containing two DVDs. The first DVD is titled A Film by Antonionioni which is a live concert called Save Our TISM. The concept for the concert was a telethon called "Save Our TISM", in which the band have rejected a merger with Powderfinger and need to raise AU$1 million, otherwise they will split up. At the end of the concert, only AU$999 999 is raised, and TISM split up, with fans throwing $1 coins onto the stage as they walk off.
The second DVD is TISM: A Docunentary (keeping with the 'n' theme) which features interviews with the band, a history of TISM and rare or previously-unreleased footage from TISM concerts, dating as far back as the band's first concert in December 1983.
The album was re-released on 10 November 2004 in a standard DVD case. On 17 September 2021, it was reissued on CD and double vinyl, with the CD including the "Save Our TISM" concert, albeit without the telethon interludes between songs, and the LP containing a bonus 7-inch EP, including four songs from the concert.
