Abbey Road (50th Anniversary) Super Deluxe

THE BEATLES REVISIT ABBEY ROAD

WITH SPECIAL ANNIVERSARY RELEASES

Abbey Road Presented with New Mixes in Stereo, 5.1 Surround, and Dolby Atmos; Expanded with Previously Unreleased Session Recordings and Demos

– AVAILABLE EVERYWHERE SEPTEMBER 27, 2019 –

Official Press Release - https://abbeyroad.thebeatles.com/abb...press-release/



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, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos mixes, Martin and Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios. This Super Deluxe Edition of Abbey Road features the new stereo album mix, sourced directly from the original eight-track session tapes. To produce the mix, Giles was guided by the album’s original stereo mix supervised by his father, George Martin.

Abbey Road’s Super Deluxe box set presents 40 tracks – including “The Long One” Trial Edit & Mix for the album’s epic Side 2 medley – on three CDs (stereo) and one Blu-ray disc (Dolby Atmos, 96kHz/24 bit high resolution stereo, and 96 kHz/24 bit DTS-HD Master Audio 5.1). The four discs are housed in a slip-sleeved 12” by 12” 100-page hardbound book with McCartney’s foreword; Martin’s introduction; insightful, in-depth chapters written by Beatles historian, author, and radio producer Kevin Howlett covering the months preceding The Beatles’ Abbey Road sessions, track-by-track details and session notes, the cover art and photo shoot, and the album’s reception upon its release; plus an essay by music journalist and author David Hepworth looking at the album’s influence through 50 years. The gorgeous book is illustrated with rare and previously unpublished photographs, including many taken by Linda McCartney; never before published images of handwritten lyrics, sketches, and a George Martin score; Beatles correspondence, recording sheets, and tape boxes; and reproduced original print ads.

I think Giles got a lot of personal shit for NOT including the Atmos mix that was created but not added on 'Sgt Peppers' Deluxe edition, that he relented for this release - honestly he could just release a bluray-audio edition of 'Sgt Pepper' and just appease everyone who has an Atmos sound system setup.

A few countries pre-orders added, see first post.

You will be waiting a long time then.

Great announcement. One of the best albums ever made. I am excited to hear the 24 bit Dolby Atmos surround sound presentation.

The remixes have been what they are; loved, liked or loathed. Personally, remixes are not my "go-to" way of listening to the albums but I have given them a listen. I have preferred the White Album remixes over those on Sgt Pepper. The reason that I have purchased these sets was not for remixes but was for the various studio outtakes and such. Sgt Pepper 50th and White Album were both amazing releases but this offering seems a little underwhelming. But, it is also going to be a little cheaper than the other two. But, is this just a small breather until they side-swipe us with Let It Be? That set could be $500 with 10 discs. Honestly, though, I would have liked to see Abbey Road have a bit more content since I like value for money and I really don't need to pay Giles to remix songs that are already perfectly mixed; original mono or stereo, depending.

Point of order: Abbey Road was never released in mono.

Let It Be, Abbey Road are not there.
Neither is The Ballad of John and Yoko / Old Brown Shoe as there were no mono mixes* of any of them.

*(Actually the songs Across the Universe, Let it Be and The Long and Winding Road in the Lp are basically mono with Spectorized orchestra and stuff in stereo around them. You could probably extract that with a tool)

Never said it was. But, for sh*ts and giggles, lets have Giles remix Abbey Road into mono. It might be more interesting than remixing an already perfectly mixed stereo album.

I think the stereo remixes and the 50th Anniversary box sets cater to two different kinds of Beatles fans in general. Die-hards want to hear all the takes of a particular song; and whom these box sets are directed at. A remix implies that there is something less than perfect about previous mixes. Remixes are not a celebration and dedication to the past; they are about modernizing the past so it will be acceptable for today's audience. If they wanted us to hear the clarity of the new mixes then why not just provide the individual audio tracks (stems) of each song so we could really hear what's going on?
