The Beatles Celebrate “The White Album” with Deluxe Packages

The Beatles White Album Super Deluxe EditionIt’s been fifty years since the release of the Beatles’ self-titled album, better known as The White Album, and now it is being celebrated with special anniversary versions. The album’s thirty tracks have been remixed and remastered by producer Giles Martin and Sam Okell in stereo and 5.1 surround audio. It will also include 27 early acoustic demos and 50 sessions takes that have mostly been unreleased in any form.

“We had left Sgt. Pepper’s band to play in his sunny Elysian Fields and were now striding out in new directions without a map,” says Paul McCartney in his written introduction for the new releases.

The White Album comes in a standard 2LP vinyl version with faithfully replicated artwork as well as Deluxe and Super Deluxe versions. The Deluxe has 3 CDs, 4 LPs, and digital audio collections that collect the 2018 album mix plus the 27 demos. The massive Super Deluxe has six CDs spanning the album, demos, and three full CDs of session recordings. It also has a Blu-ray with the album in high-resolution PCM stereo, 5.1 mixes, and a direct transfer of the album’s original mono mix.
