50 years ago, The Beatles unveiled what was essentially their last album. Yes, “Let It Be” was released last, but “Abbey Road” was the final one they recorded. It remains their top-selling record and now, to celebrate its golden anniversary, it’s being reissued in the same epic manner that we saw last year with the "White Album” and the previous year with “Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.” In other words, if you’re a Beatles’ freak, this will blow your mind. Again.
And, because we love you, LiveXLive is offering you the chance to listen to the entire thing, on-demand, whenever you want.
The original release boasted 10 songs, including the legendary medley and :23-seconds of “Her Majesty.” The reissue has no less than 38 tracks, including never-before-heard alternative takes and demos and some songs that have never been released previously.
Beatle producer George Martin’s son Giles has overseen a a new mix in stereo, 5.1 surround sound and Dolby Atmos. There’s an amazing alternate version of “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” from Trident Studios in London, where the band were interrupted by angry complaints about noise from the neighbors. John turned down the volume—but only after one final take. "“Last chance to be loud!” he said.With that in mind, join us in returning to Abbey Road…and crank it up!
