Originally released in 1969, this is the first time Abbey Road has been remixed and presented with additional session recordings and demos. To create Abbey Road’s new stereo mixes, Giles Martin and Sam Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios.
The Deluxe 2CD set pairs the new stereo mix, sourced directly from the original eight-track session tapes with versions taken from the session takes and demo recordings of its 17 songs, sequenced to match the album’s running order. The two discs are presented in a digipak with a 40-page booklet.
Disc 1 is the 50th Anniversary Reissued / Remixed / Remastered (stereo) release of the original 1969 album.
Disc 2 has additional versions (excerpts, outtakes, demos, variants) of the entire original recording in the same successive track listing. Contained in a gatefold mini-LP sleeve Digisleeve with outer slipcase.
Contains a 40-page booklet.
