This is the first time The BEATLES (‘White Album’) has been remixed and presented with additional demo recordings. To create the new stereo audio mixes for ‘The White Album,’ Giles Martin and Sam Okell worked with an expert team of engineers and audio restoration specialists at Abbey Road Studios in London. This 4LP Deluxe ‘White Album’ release includes Martin’s new stereo album mix, sourced directly from the original four-track and eight-track session tapes. Martin’s new mix is guided by the album’s original stereo mix produced by his father, George Martin. Half-speed cut by Miles Showell at Abbey Road Studios. During the last week of May 1968, The Beatles gathered at George’s house in Esher, Surrey, where they recorded acoustic demos for 27 songs. Known as the Esher Demos, all 27 recordings are included in the 4LP Deluxe package, sourced from the original four-track tapes. Presented in a lift-top box with a four-page booklet, the limited edition Deluxe 4LP vinyl set 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.
  As soon as the stylus hit my personal copy of this record I knew I was in for a treat!.
I know this is a cliché especially at my age but the bass is awesome along with all the frequencies cut into the grooves. This album was cut using Half Speed mastering. For anybody not aware what this means here is an explanation. The master tape is played back at half speed and the vinyl cutting lath is also rotated at half speed and the end result is more information being cut into the groove and this record proves that it works ( Have a listen to the Brian Eno half speed master vinyl releases and you will know what I mean ). Had a smile on my face from start to finish but wait there is more!. Then listened to the Esher demo album and I must say that I enjoyed this even more, No electric guitar or electronics just acoustic and vocals and was a revelation. Considering this was recorded 50 years ago on George Harrison's own home recording equipment the quality of the recording is amazing. I know it was cleaned up using modern techniques but if you listen carefully you can still hear the hiss of the tape on some tracks and this is what makes the recording more magical. You will hear the Beatles as you never heard them before and in my opinion is what will prove that they were the greatest band this world has ever heard. In 50 years time when I am forgotten the next generations will be playing this and saying WOW!.
