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, 2018 The Beatles released a suite of lavishly presented ‘White Album’ packages (Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe). The album’s 30 tracks were 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. 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. INDIVIDUALLY NUMBERED- ONLY AVAILABLE ON THIS SUPER DELUXE EDITION. Early copies of ‘The White Album’ were also individually numbered on the front, which has also been done for the new edition’s Super Deluxe package. The set’s six CDs and Blu-ray disc are housed in a slipsleeved 164-page hardbound book, with pull-out reproductions of the original album’s four glossy color portrait photographs of John, Paul, George, and Ringo, as well as the album’s large fold-out poster with a photo collage on one side and lyrics on the other. The beautiful book is illustrated with rare photographs, reproductions of handwritten and notated lyrics, previously unpublished photos of recording sheets and tape boxes, and reproduced original ‘White Album’ print ads. The book’s comprehensive written pieces include new introductions by Paul McCartney and Giles Martin, and in-depth chapters covering track-by-track details and session notes reflecting The Beatles’ year between the release of ‘Sgt. Pepper’ and recording sessions for ‘The White Album,’ the band’s July 28 1968 “Mad Day Out” photo shoot in locations around London, the album artwork, the lead-up and execution of the album’s blockbuster release, and its far-ranging influence, written by Beatles historian, author and radio producer Kevin Howlett; journalist and author John Harris; and Tate Britain’s Senior Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art Andrew Wilson. Much of the initial songwriting for ‘The White Album’ was done in Rishikesh, India between February and April 1968, when John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr joined a course at the Maharishi’s Academy of Transcendental Meditation. During the last week of May, The Beatles gathered at George’s house in Esher, Surrey, where they recorded acoustic demos for 27 songs. Known as the Esher Demos, all 27 recordings are included in the new edition’s Deluxe and Super Deluxe packages, sourced from the original four-track tapes. Twenty-one of the demoed songs were recorded during the subsequent studio sessions, and 19 were ultimately finished and included on ‘The White Album.’ The Beatles’ studio sessions for The BEATLES began on May 30, 1968 at Abbey Road Studios. The final session took place on October 16, a 24-hour marathon with producer George Martin to sequence the double album’s four sides and to complete edits and cross-fades between its songs. Many of the ‘White Album’ session takes were recorded to four-track and eight-track tape recording multiple takes, as evidenced by the Super Deluxe set’s Take 102 for “Not Guilty,” a song that was not included on the album. ESHER DEMOS: The band went to George’s house in Esher and recorded them in one or two days on his new 4 track recorder. Olivia still has the tapes so Giles was able to re-visit the original tape to work on these demos. They recorded 27 songs and we have been allowed to release all of them here. 19 of them ended up on the White Album with the rest either being recorded by the band or as solo later. 7 have previously been released on Anthology, but Giles has been able to clean them up and bring out the intimate nature of the recordings. The Beatles recorded lots of takes, many false starts, and we were able to release all 50 takes. Most have never been heard before even on bootlegs, but some of them had been completely forgotten about and were not documented by the historians. Blu-Ray: Features a brand new 5.1 surround mix by Giles Martin and Sam Okell and provides a totally immersive listening experience. It is also possible to listen to hi-res versions of the LP. The original mono mix is also included for historical interest since some of the edits and mixes were quite different to the stereo mix, even though it had been recorded in stereo and conceived as a stereo album for the first time in their career.2018 album mix in high resolution PCM stereo2018 DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1 album mix2018 Dolby True HD 5.1 album mix2018 direct transfer of the album’s original mono mix Book: The book has 164 pages and is made up of 3 themes:The bulk of the book is taken up with song and recording notes, all written in exemplary detail by Beatles expert Kevin Howlett. He explains all of the different takes and the actual writing and recording process for every track in the set.There is a new scholarly essay on the art of the White Album – explaining that it was actually an important moment in the development of modern pop art and it explodes several myths about what people think had been other cover ideas as well as exploring the way rock music and art were starting to grow together.Guardian writer and social commentator, John Harris, has also written a fascinating chapter that looks at the reception of the album when it was released and how that has changed in perception and influence over the decades, concluding that this is in many ways perhaps their most influential album, especially in terms of how it has influenced generations of musicians since.
