The Beatles’ ”Red” (1962–66) and ”Blue” (1967–70) Remixes: Track-by-Track (Part 1)

The newly-mixed Beatles’ “Red” (1962–66) and “Blue” (1967–70) albums are here! We start our two-part deep dive with the first half of the “Red” album.

Fifty years after their original release, Giles Martin has remixed these albums using the groundbreaking “MAL” audio technology, developed by Peter Jackson’s team for the 2021 Get Back film. These sets expand on the original track list, giving us a whopping 75 songs. New additions include some of their earliest cover tracks, and add a number of George Harrison songs—sorely lacking from the original.

We also delve into the crazy story behind why these albums exist in the first place, and examine why these particular sets have been catnip for new Beatles fans for over a generation.
