All physical versions of this reissue include Giles Martin and Sam Okell’s new stereo remix, “sourced directly from the original four-track and eight-track session tapes.” This mix is described as being “guided by the album’s original stereo mix” produced by Giles’ father, George Martin. The vinyl records that make up the album were cut at half-speed by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios and feature in two vinyl editions. The four physical formats are as follows: • 6CD+blu-ray box set (stereo remix, Esher Demos + 3 CDs of sessions, 5. 1 mix) • 4LP vinyl set (stereo remix + Esher Demos) • 3CD deluxe (stereo remix + Esher Demos) • 2LP vinyl (stereo remix) All formats (except the 2LP) also include 27 demo recordings made at George Harrison’s house during the last week of May in 1968. These have forever been known as the ‘ Esher Demos‘. All 27 recordings are included in seven-disc super deluxe, the 4LP deluxe package, and the 3CD edition – sourced from the original four-track tapes.

6CD+blu-ray super deluxe edition The super deluxe edition exclusively includes three CDs of ‘sessions’ and a blu-ray audio disc that features a 5.1 surround sound mix, a hi-res stereo mix (of the new stereo remix) and a direct transfer of the original mono mix. The sessions include 50 additional recordings, most previously unreleased, from ‘White Album’ studio sessions; all newly mixed from the four-track and eight-track session tapes, sequenced in order of their recording start dates. The super deluxe is packaged as a book which slots into a slipcase. It includes the four photos and the poster that came with the original ‘White Album’ as well as the seven discs. 4LP vinyl deluxe set The four-LP vinyl set comes in a lift-top box with a four-page booklet, and presents the 2LP album in a faithful, embossed reproduction of its original gatefold sleeve with the fold-out poster and portrait photos, paired with the 2LP ‘Esher Demos’ in an embossed gatefold sleeve. The humble deluxe three-CD set is packaged as an embossed digipak with the fold-out poster and portrait photos, plus a 24-page booklet. Note: there is no two-CD edition of the new stereo mix and every format is described as ‘limited’ by the label, with the exception of the 2LP vinyl edition.
