The Beatles Announce White Album Deluxe 50th Anniversary Edition
Multiple previously unreleased demos and outtakes are included in the packages.
By JEM ASWAD
As the 50th anniversary approaches of the release of the Beatles iconic self-titled ninth studio album, known as The White Album, the group announced on Monday that on Nov. 9 it will release a suite of lavishly presented packages. The albums 30 tracks are newly mixed by producer Giles Martin, son of original album producer George 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. This represents the first time the album has been remixed and presented with additional demos and session recordings, although several were released on the groups Anthology collections in the 1990s. These include the outtakes Not Guilty and Whats the New Mary Jane? as well as early versions of John Lennons Child of Nature (later released as Jealous Guy), Paul McCartneys Junk and George Harrisons Sour Milk Sea.

The Unheard White Album: An Exclusive First Listen
The massive new box set of the Beatles 1968 masterpiece is full of unheard gems. Here are 15 of the most revelatory moments.
By ROB SHEFFIELD
Everything we know about the White Album is about to change. The Beatles 1968 masterpiece has always been been the deepest mystery in their storytheir wildest, strangest, most experimental, most brilliant music. But as it turns out, the White Album is even weirder than anyone realized. Especially when youre hearing it in Abbey Road, the fabled London studio where the band spent five long months making it. Over a couple of sunny days (and late nights) in Abbey Road, Rolling Stone got a one-on-one exclusive tour of the previously unheard gems from the new Super Deluxe Edition of The Beatles (due November 9), forever known as the White Album. Producer Giles Martin, son of George Martin, is a valiant guide, playing outtakes from deep in the vaults, often grabbing a guitar to demonstrate a chord change. They were a band on fire, he says. Its double or triple Sgt. Pepperthe four walls of this studio couldnt hold them anymore.
Part of the White Album mystique is all the drama that went into itthe arguments and bad vibes are the stuff of legend. So the big shock is all the humor, excitement, and camaraderie on display in the new set. Case in point: a previously unknown version of Good Night where John, Paul, George and Ringo all harmonize over folk guitar. As Martin admits, You listen to them sing together and ask, This is the White Album?
Yes, this is the White Albumand the stunning box set goes deep into the creative frenzy the Beatles surged through in 1968. Theres a new mix from producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell, plus four discs of outtakes. The bonus material is full of revelations, especially the crown jewel of buried Beatle treasures: the acoustic Esher demos.
