ATTENTION BEATLES FANS: GET READY FOR A 6-CD SET OF "SGT. PEPPER" ON ITS 50TH ANNIVERSARY

                                                                                                                      

The Beatles have formally announced the long-rumored 50th anniversary edition of their Sgt, Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band album. The reissue, which will be released in single and double-disc versions, will also be issued as a two-record set. The big news is the super deluxe six-CD set features a brand new stereo mix by Giles Martin and Sam Okell created from the original master tapes, with two discs featuring 100 minutes of never-before heard outtakes, along with new mixes of "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane."

Also included are both DVD and Blu-ray versions of the 1992 documentary, The Making Of Sgt. Pepper, along with 5.1 surround sound and hi-res stereo mixes, a 114-page booklet, two posters and a replica "cut-out" insert from the original album release. In addition to the new stereo remix, the main draw of the set are the second and third discs, which -- according to the German Amazon site -- features selections from sessions for "Strawberry Fields Forever," "When I'm Sixty-Four," "Penny Lane," "A Day In The Life," "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band," "Good Morning, Good Morning," "Fixing A Hole," "Being For The Benefit Of Mr. Kite!," "Lovely Rita," "Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds," "Getting Better," "Within You Without You," "She's Leaving Home," "With A Little Help From My Friends," and "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (Reprise)."
