Personally I’d have been all up for one disc going full-on with the myriad versions of Tomorrow Never Knows, but that’s me. In the boxes, there’s also the original mono mix, 31 session takes and home demos, a 100-page book with a foreword by Paul McCartney, an essay by Questlove, detailed track notes, plus photos and ephemera including handwritten lyrics, tape boxes and extracts from Klaus Voormann’s graphic novel on the making of the cover art. The 2CD option features the main album plus highlights from the whopper boxes, while the, um, whopper boxes themselves consist of a vinyl 4LP & 1 7-inch (Paperback Writer and Rain in both mono and stereo) and a 5CD that replicates all the vinyl – the fifth CD is the Paperback Writer EP. The formats? Well, natch there’s yer basic 1LP, 1PD and 1CD if you just fancy the album itself. There are six physical formats, and each of them offer a new stereo mix by Giles Martin directly from the master tapes, and with the aid of Peter Jackson’s WingNut Films’ demixing technology, it’s been pulled apart and cleaned up and rejigged. If you would like to find out more information on the deluxe vinyl release, head on over to Vinyl Me, Please.After last year’s Let It Be bingo, The Beatles go back a few years to 1966 and have gone full bells and whistles on a deluxe-up of their seventh album Revolver. Relive all of the record’s glory for yourself with its heavyweight gatefold tip-on jacket with foiling and beautiful sound quality, having been recut at London’s famed Abbey Road Studios. Having sold nearly six million copies around the world in its time and receiving two Grammy Award nominations for Best Pop Vocal Performance by a Duo, Group or Chorus and Best Arrangement for Voices, A Night At The Opera cemented Queen’s reputation as one of the greatest rock bands of all time, and allowed them to continue upwards and onwards into the stratosphere of music greats. With the film of the same name out Friday November 2, you can now listen to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ in all its glory pressed on 180-gram multi-color galaxy vinyl. Aside from featuring instantly recognisable tracks like ‘You’re My Best Friend’ and ‘God Save The Queen’, the album also plays host to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ – a song that needs no introduction, being possibly one of the most iconic rock songs of all recorded time. It’s hard to argue against the significance of Queen’s 1975 album A Night At The Opera in rock ‘n’ roll history.
