Se relanzará The Beatles (White Album) en edición de lujo por el 50 aniversario

Tal y como hicieron el año pasado con Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, la obra del cuarteto de Liverpool de 1968, The Beatles (White Album), también saldrá en edición de lujo el próximo 9 de noviembre.

El disco doble de 1968 incluía algunas de las canciones más conocidas de la banda, entre las que destacan: “Back In The U.S.S.R.”, “While My Guitar Gently Weeps”, “Blackbird”, “Helter Skelter”, “Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da” y “Happiness Is A Warm Gun”, entre otras.

Giles Martin, hijo del legendario productor George Martin, y Sam Okell han sido los encargados de volver a mezclar el álbum y buscar entre las canciones descartadas y tomas alternativas. Las tomas descartadas que podremos oír como únicas incluyen “Hey Jude”, “Revolution”, “Inner Light”, “Across the Universe”, “Lady Madonna”, y pistas , jams, improvisaciones y ensayos varios. Se incluirá la versión de 12 minutos de “Helter Skelter” que previamente se redujo a unos 5 minutos para The Beatles Anthology 3. También habrá una versión de “Let It Be”, la cual no fue lanzada hasta más tarde.
