This will be something that is just like the expanded editions for the White Album and Sgt. Pepper for the last two years in honor of the 50th anniversary of both albums. I'm sure next year we'll get something for the 50th anniversary of Let It Be (not counting the upcoming Peter Jackson documentary or the release of the original Let It Be documentary).

In honor of the anniversary, an expanded edition of Abbey Road has been announced, featuring 23 studio outtakes and rare demos, most of which have never been released. Due out on Sept. 27 (nearly 50 years to the day after the original first hit shelves in the U.K.) the new collection also features remixes by producer Giles Martin and mix engineer Sam Okell in stereo, high res stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos.
“The magic comes from the hands playing the instruments, the blend of The Beatles’ voices, the beauty of the arrangements,” Giles Martin explains in his written introduction for the new edition. “Our quest is simply to ensure everything sounds as fresh and hits you as hard as it would have on the day it was recorded.”
As with the expanded versions of Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017) and ‘The White Album’ (2018), the Abbey Road reissue comes in a variety of formats and packages. The most expansive is the Super Deluxe set, which includes the new stereo remix, two discs of outtakes, a Blu-Ray for high res stereo, 5.1 surround, and Dolby Atmos remixes, and a 100-page book which features a foreword by Paul McCartney, introduction from Martin, and in-depth notes and essays by historians Kevin Howlett and David Hepworth.
Among the unreleased tracks include an unheard home demo of the McCartney-penned “Goodbye” (destined for the singer Mary Hopkin), a studio demo of George Harrison’s elegant “Something,” a trial mix of the mammoth side two medley (dubbed “The Long One”), and an early take of the epic “I Want You (She’s So Heavy)” that resulted in a noise complaint from a studio neighbor.
