Product Description: In November 1968, millions of double LPs were shipped to record stores worldwide ahead of that tumultuous year’s most anticipated music event: the November 22nd release of The BEATLES (soon to be better known as ‘The White Album’). With their ninth studio album, The Beatles took the world on a whole new trip, side one blasting off with the exhilarating rush of a screaming jet escorting Paul McCartney’s punchy, exuberant vocals on “Back In The U.S.S.R.” “Dear Prudence” came next, John Lennon warmly beckoning his friend and all of us to “look around.” George Harrison imparted timeless wisdom in “While My Guitar Gently Weeps,” singing, “With every mistake we must surely be learning.” For 50 years, ‘The White Album’ has invited its listeners to venture forth and explore the breadth and ambition of its music, delighting and inspiring each new generation in turn. On November 9, The Beatles will release a suite of lavishly presented ‘White Album’ packages (Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe). The album’s 30 tracks are newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell in stereo and 5.1 surround audio, joined by 27 early acoustic demos and 50 session takes, most of which are previously unreleased in any form.

This is the first time The BEATLES (‘White Album’) has been remixed and presented with additional demos and session recordings. The album’s sweeping new edition follows 2017’s universally acclaimed Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band Anniversary Edition releases. To create the new stereo and 5.1 surround audio mixes for ‘The White Album,’ Martin and Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios in London. All the new ‘White Album’ releases include Martin’s new stereo album mix, sourced directly from the original four-track and eight-track session tapes. Martin’s new mix is guided by the album’s original stereo mix produced by his father, George Martin.

UK Edition, 50th Anniversary Super Deluxe Edition. Features 3CDs of ‘sessions’, a Blu-ray audio disc with a 5.1 surround sound mix, a hi-res stereo mix and a direct transfer of the original mono mix. The sessions include 50 additional recordings, most previously unreleased, from ‘White Album’ studio sessions, all newly mixed from the 4 & 8 track session tapes, sequenced in order of their recording start dates. It is packaged as a book which slots into a slipcase. It includes 4 photos and the poster that came with the original ‘White Album’ as well as the seven discs. Analitically features CDs 1 & 2: 2018 stereo album mix / CD3: Esher Demos / CDs 4, 5 & 6: Sessions (50 additional recordings, most previously unreleased, from studio sessions, newly mixed from the tapes). Blu-ray features 2018 album mix in high resolution PCM stereo, 2018 DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 album mix, 2018 Dolby True HD 5.1 album mix and 2018 direct transfer of the album’s original mono mix
