What Are You Waiting For?
To celebrate The White Album’s 50th anniversary, The Beatles are set to release a massive new super deluxe box set featuring several unheard tracks and outtakes. In a nutshell, it’s something every single fan wants to have in their collection. It’s like a little piece of rock ‘n roll history.
This expanded version will include musical gems like unheard demos, new mixes, alternates (like an altered ending for “Helter Skelter”), a 164-page hardbound book, rare and unseen photos, recording sheets and even handwritten lyrics. So yes, it pretty much has everything you want and more.
“In remixing The White Album, we’ve tried to bring you as close as possible to The Beatles in the studio. 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.” – Producer Giles Martin

This set will be released on November 9 so we guess we’re celebrating Christmas early this year. If you don’t want to get the seven-disc super deluxe box set, other options include digital download, a two-LP standard vinyl set, a four-LP deluxe vinyl set, and a three-CD deluxe set.
