The Beatles' 1968 self-titled album is being reissued to commemorate its 50th anniversary.

Often nicknamed The White Album, The Fab Four's ninth UK studio album was originally released on 22 November 1968. Now 50 years on, the first Beatles record to feature all four members on lead vocals is being expanded with previously unreleased demos and session recordings on November 9.

The White Album's reissue has been newly mixed by Giles Martin - the son of The Beatles' original producer George Martin - in stereo and 5.1 surround audio, and will released on digital, CD and vinyl across Super Deluxe, Deluxe and Standard variants.

"In remixing ‘The White Album’, we’ve tried to bring you as close as possible to The Beatles in the studio," explained Giles Martin in the written introduction for 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 Beatles ninth UK Number 1 album and the Christmas Number 1 LP of 1968, the remastered edition features a whopping 27 acoustic demos and 50 session takes.

The White Album's anniversary edition comes just over a year since Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band returned to Number 1 on its golden anniversary. The third best-selling album of all-time, Sgt. Pepper's broke the record for the longest span between an album first reaching Number 1 in June 1967 and returning to the summit in June 2017.
