Abbey Road 50th Anniversary Discussion. What Can We Expect?

There's a booted version out there of Golden Slumbers that is just amazing. At the end it breaks down and becomes a 1950s-type rock tune with the piano and lead guitar seemingly "dueling." I'd love to hear a pristine version of that, it's one of my all-time favorite outtakes.

 

Wow! never heard of that

 

The remixes of the first two songs have been leaked

 

I think it will happen. I am expecting to see remixes of both AR and LIB.
Then, I think we will start to see 60th anniversary remixes from PPM onwards...or I just hope that, even though I am not a fan of the 50th Pepper.
I am a Beatles junkie! I need help!...literally.

 

The 50th Pepper needs an adapted edition where it gets a remaster to lower the overall volume.

 

I think we'll get

2019: Abbey Road 50th anniversary
2020: Let it Be 50th anniversary
2021: Past Masters remixes (probably with the 1967 singles - since the MMT tour album didn't get 50th anniversary treatment, and the 1969 YS songs, just like the 'Mono Masters')
2022: nothing, unless they'll come with something worthwhile to surprise us
2023: PPM and WTB 60th anniversary editions. Probably one Super Deluxe Edition combining both albums and singles from 1963, since they do not have as many sessions/outtakes/mixes material as 'Sgt Pepper' and the White Album to make separate Super Deluxe editions
2024: AHDN and BFS 60th anniversary. Same as above, with singles from 1964
2025: Help! and Rubber Soul 60th anniversary. Incl. 'Day Tripper'/ 'We Can Work It Out'
2026: Revolver 60th anniversary. Incl 'Paperpack Writer'/'Rain'

 

Simply wonderful.

As far as additions to the set, faded out tracks played to the end. For instance Come Together without the fade out, played until the very end, to where you get to studio chatter.

Also the medley songs played without edits in their entirety, individually.

 

It will def get a release next year!
Remix and outtakes.
Really want to hear early takes of Oh Darling!, You Never Give Me Your Money, etc...

 

I think that's a very reasonable prediction and if that's exactly the way it happens, I'd have no problems with that at all.

If they come out with anything after Let it Be, I think one way or another they're doing all of them.

 

I kinda feel bad for @tinnox

 

I never heard the orchestral track by itself before. I knew George recorded his guitar on the same track, though.

 

Abbey Road is my second favorite Beatles LP behind The White Album.

 

Our next year, yeah yeah yeah !!!!
Well less than a year

 

There was a thread opened for this yesterday. Maybe a merge?

 

Based on the White Album extra tracks, I would think some things that were recorded in 1

I think they will reverse order after Let It Be, without anniversary reasons. The early stuff will go last:
2019: Abbey Road 50th anniversary
2020: Let it Be 50th anniversary
2021: Revolver
2022: Past Masters remixed other orphaned tracks (EPs, MMT tour album and the 1969 YS songs))'
2022: HELP! and Rubber Soul
2023: AHDN and BFS.
2024: PPM and WTB

 

Really looking forward to Paul's early demo of "Fuh You" as a surprise.

 

Looking forward to centered vocals on Here Comes The Sun.

 

I hope the anvil is brought up higher in the mix. I mean like nose-bleed levels. I want to feel the hammer!

 

I love the Love version of Sun

 

The music is one thing. The history of the sessions alone will make the set a must-buy. Listening to the band’s final moments in a recording studio will tug on my heartstrings as much as Side 2 of the album. Of course, we’ll probably get the final take ever of a few songs...and possibly the final moments of all 4 Beatles in the studio. Can’t wait.

 

I believe we’ll see Revolver and Rubber Soul sooner than we think.

 

As long as they use some age-progression software on the Beatle pedestrians...

 

I really hope so.

 

Oh Darling! would be an awesome remix!

 

Center the vocals, give the drums more thump.
