The 50th anniversary of The Beatles‘ classic 1968 self-titled double LP, commonly known as The White Album, will be celebrated with an expanded reissue on November 9th.

Newly mixed by producer Giles Martin and engineer Sam Okell, 27 of the early ‘Esher’ demos and 50 session takes are also included in the package. “In remixing The White Album, we’ve tried to bring you as close as possible to The Beatles in the studio,” Martin writes in his introduction to the new edition.

“We’ve peeled back the layers of the Glass Onion with the hope of immersing old and new listeners into one of the most diverse and inspiring albums ever made.”

The Fab Four’s response to their world-changing 1967 opus Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, The White album is the sound of three songwriters pursuing increasingly individual paths, taking the listener on a journey through world music and genre from the blues, to rock and roll, to country, to fairytale and plenty more besides.

Among the various editions is a deluxe 3CD set on embossed digipak with fold-out poster, portrait photos and a 24-page booklet.
