It’s part of the album’s Anniversary Edition – out on 26 May – which features the album newly mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell, notes from Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, and a whopping 34 previously unreleased recordings.
A mere U.S.$149.98. Two early takes:
Also foisted on the world zackly 50 yrs. ago (again, if one trusts the iNternet ...)
Mere coincidence? Sinister liberal plot? Or orders from Moscow?
