"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.

1964 was the year that the U.S.A. first fell head-over-heels for The Beatles, with an unprecedented run of albums and singles topping the charts and going on to sell millions of copies. But these albums are not simply replicas of the 1963 and 1964 albums released by Parlophone in the UK and rest of world. Seeing a different opportunity, Capitol Records and United Artists compiled these albums for U.S. release between January 1964 and March 1965. To celebrate the momentous year when Beatlemania exploded across the U.S., seven Beatles albums are collected for a spectacular new 8LP vinyl box set. Meet The Beatles!; The Beatles' Second Album; A Hard Day's Night (Original Motion Picture Sound Track); Something New; The Beatles' Story (2LP); Beatles '65; and The Early Beatles all feature faithfully replicated artwork and new four-panel inserts with essays written by American Beatles historian and author Bruce Spizer. The albums' new vinyl lacquers were cut by Kevin Reeves at Nashville's East Iris Studios with constant reference to the original vinyl first pressings to ensure they are faithful to the original release, while also enabling more musical information to be heard than was possible before. 180 gram audiophile pressing. The Beatles' Story 2LP is exclusive to the box set.

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. <br/><br/>180-gram 1LP vinyl featuring the new stereo album mix.<br/>Packaging faithful to the original album.

Efter den firade specialutgåvan av "Sgt Pepper" är det nu dags för nästa Beatlesklassiker att bli rejält uppgraderad: 50-årsfirande "The Beatles" - mest känd som "The White Album", bandets kanske mest utmanande och omdiskuterade platta. På fyra sidor presenterade gruppen hårdför rock, vackra ballader, ljudcollage och tidlösa popklassiker. "Vi gav oss ut i helt nya riktningar utan karta", enligt Paul McCartney. Den nya specialutgåvan, som släpps i olika format, är ett himmelrike för alla beundrare av Beatles enastående musikkonst. <br/><br/>"This is the first time The BEATLES ('White Album') has been remixed, presented here as a 2LP 180-gram black vinyl set. To create the new stereo audio mixes for 'The White Album,' Giles Martin and Sam Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios in London. This 2LP 'White Album' release includes 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.
