Beatles está preparando grande comemoração dos 50 anos de Sgt. Pepper’s

O Beatles está preparando um relançamento massivo para o aniversário de cinquenta anos do icônico álbum Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band (1967).

Serão três versões deluxe, cada uma contando versões inéditas de várias canções do álbum, discos de vinil, versões remasterizadas, instrumentais das faixas, áudios em Blu-ray e DVD, além de filmes promocionais de várias faixas e uma versão restaurada de um raro documentário de 1992, The Making of Sgt. Pepper.

O pacote que mais chama a atenção é o “super deluxe”, que contará com quatro CDs, 33 gravações extras das sessões do álbum — a maioria delas sendo remasterizadas direto das fitas originais –, os já mencionados DVDs e Blu-ray, além de um incrível livro de 144 páginas, com prefácio escrito por Paul McCartney, que irá contar “todas as facetas de Sgt. Pepper, desde as músicas e a lendária arte da capa até às inovações musicais e contexto histórico”, de acordo com a Rolling Stone.

Tudo isso será lançado no dia 26 de Maio, mas os preços dessa brincadeira ainda não foram anunciados. Logo abaixo, você pode conferir fotos dos pacotes, além dos detalhes sobre o que estará incluso em cada um deles em inglês (via Rolling Stone).
