"The Beatles Anthology" Documentary Series.<br/>Now a Nine-Part Series Featuring a Brand-new Episode Nine.<br/><br/>The Beatles' landmark "Anthology" documentary series has been restored and remastered. <br/>The series' original eight episodes trace the legendary journey that began in Liverpool and Hamburg and soon captivated the world. They bring to life the timeless stories - of Beatlemania, the band's groundbreaking arrival in the USA, their role at the forefront of the 1960s counterculture, their spiritual exploration in India, and their eventual breakup. And through it all, the constant thread: the music, always the music.<br/>There is now a completely new Episode Nine, including unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Paul, George and Ringo coming together between 1994 and 1995 to work on "The Anthology" and reflecting on their shared life as The Beatles. <br/>The restoration has been overseen by Apple Corps' production team, working with Peter Jackson's Wingnut Films & Park Road Post teams along with Giles Martin, who has created new audio mixes for the majority of the featured music.<br/><br/>The musical side of The Anthology Collection, originally curated by George Martin, now remastered by Giles Martin, in the form of three double albums of rare material, a shadow story to the one told in the documentaries. They are an enthralling insight into the early development of songs that became the recorded masterpieces that resonate just as loudly today as they did when they were first recorded. <br/>It also has an important new element. Anthology 4, newly curated by Giles, includes 13 previously unreleased demos and session recordings and other rare recordings. It also includes new mixes of The Beatles' Anthology-associated hit singles: the GRAMMY-winning "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love," given new life by their original producer, Jeff Lynne, using de-mixed John Lennon vocals. <br/>The original "Free As A Bird" music video has also been beautifully restored.<br/>Both new mixes are placed alongside the band's most recent UK No. 1 hit single, 2023's GRAMMY-winning "Now And Then," the last Beatles song. All three singles were created from rudimentary home demos John recorded in the 1970s, later completed with vocal and instrumental parts recorded by Paul, George and Ringo.<br/>Across all the Anthology albums, there are 191 tracks which will be released on November 21 by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMG for digital purchase and streaming, and in deluxe 12LP 180-gram vinyl and 8CD box sets. Both box sets include the original sleeve notes for Anthology 1, 2 and 3; the new Anthology 4 includes track notes written by Kevin Howlett and an introduction compiled from 1996 interviews recorded with The Beatles' close friend and adviser Derek Taylor.

Efter de rosade succéerna med deluxe-utgåvorna av "Sgt Pepper" och "White Album" (2017 och 2018) är det nu dags för nästa välmatade utgåva med tidlös Beatles-magi. Den 8 augusti 1969 fotograferades bandet på ett övergångsställe på Abbey Road i nordvästra London, nära skivbolaget EMI:s studio. Den 26 september släpptes "Abbey Road" - skivan med bandets sista studioinspelningar. Och en av de stora rockklassikerna. I likhet med tidigare deluxe-utgåvor kan Universal bjuda på en fantastisk, spännande musikalisk djupdykning: hela albumet i en ny, fräsch stereomix av Giles Martin och 23 versioner och demos, varav de allra flesta är tidigare outgivna, däribland "The Long One" (Trial Edit & Mix) - d v s potpurriet som avslutar albumet - och en tidig version av "I Want You (She's So Heavy)". Super Deluxe-utgåvan innehåller tre CD, en Blu-ray och en 100-sidig bok med förord av Paul McCartney samt material om och bilder från inspelningarna. En värdig hyllning till finalen av en oöverträffad popkarriär. <br/> <br/>12" x 12" hardcover book to house:<br/>CD1: New 'Abbey Road' stereo album mix.<br/>CD2: Demos and Outtakes.<br/>CD3: Demos and Outtakes.<br/>DISC 4 (Blu-ray): Dolby Atmos mix of whole album / 5.1 surround of whole album / hi-res stereo mix of whole album.<br/>Book.<br/>Limited Edition.
