The Beatles are set to treat their die-hard fans to a very special version of their quirkiest album The White Album.

While we have all been learning far more than we ever expected about The Beatles of late, what with Sir Pauls hooker and group masturbation session revelations, fans are now set to get a further insight into the band.

Its been 50 years since the group released the record, it hit shelves on 22 November 1968 to be exact, and now 50 years later fans will be able to get their hands on unheard music and outtakes on 9 November 2018.

Sir Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, and late members John Lennon and George Harrisons new release, which was their self-titled album that came to be known as the White Album due to its plain white cover that contrasted their previous eye-catching releases, will feature 2018 remixes of tracks, including While My Guitar Gently Weeps and Blackbird, as well as unreleased demos.

Producer Giles Martin worked on the new music, and revealed: In remixing The White Album, weve tried to bring you as close as possible to The Beatles in the studio. Weve 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.

Several versions will be released, including a Super Deluxe, which features the original album as well as the unreleased demos.

The demos are the famed Esher Demos, 27 songs that were recorded at George Harrisons house in Esher which fans have been desperate to get their hands and ears on for decades.

There will also be outtake tracks with alternate versions of the albums hits.

The set will feature a book with detailed explanations of what The Beatles got up to in recording this album during the five months it took at Abbey Road, although some might say weve already learned enough from Paul McCartneys recent revelations.

In a chat with GQ, Sir Paul confessed that he and the rest of the band used to partake in group masturbation sessions.

He said: What it was, was over at Johns house, and it was just a group of us.

And instead of just getting roaring drunk and partying—I dont even know if we were staying over or anything—we were all just in these chairs, and the lights were out, and somebody started masturbating, so we all did.

He then claimed that someone called out the name of the French actress Brigitte Bardot before they thrashed a bit more.

Paul went on to say: I think John sort of said, “Winston Churchill!” which, as youd expect, apparently brought their session to a halt.
