„Two listening media parties for the 50th anniversary reissue of The Beatles‘ White Album are set for Sept. 26 in New York City. And sources tell that the various configurations of the White Album reissues look like this:
• A 4-LP set (2 discs of the new stereo remix + 2 discs of Esher Demos)
• A 3-CD set (same material as above). Apparently two of the CDs are the new remix and the third CD is the Esher Demos.
• And a Super Deluxe CD Box (3 CDs as above + 3 CDs of outtakes). Plus the box will include a Blu-ray disc that will be audio only.
The outtakes include Hey Jude, Revolution, Inner Light, Across the Universe, Lady Madonna, and non album tracks/jams/improvisations. A couple are previously unknown. There also are some rehearsals.
Included will be the 12-minute version of “Helter Skelter” that previously was boiled down to about 5 minutes for the “Anthology,” but the legendary 27-minute version of “Helter Skelter” will not be included.
The new remix of the album by Giles Martin has “incredible clarity and more bass and drums present.”
An official announcement of the releases is expected soon.“
