Question
What was the title, which included the name of the British group who recorded it, of the first album in pop/rock history not to list the track titles anywhere on the sleeve?
To my recollection a lot of bands didn't put any info at all on the sleeves. That info was most often on the album cover artwork or the album label.
I can't say I particularly remember an album that drew attention to itself for not having that info on the cover art. I forget if the Beatles White album has the songs listed on the cover or not, but it seems to me all it has is a pic of the band members in the gatefold.

I can answer general questions about rock era bands, record labels they were on, and names of songs. Often I can tell the name of the record company that released a song, as well as the name of the song, and the year of release based on some of the lyrics. I grew up during the rock era and I am a musician myself, and always read the album and 45 info for production credits as well as lineups. One of the chat rooms I go to is quite amused at my ability to name a song along with it`s year of release and record label. I was also a record collector for years.
