In the wake of the release of The Beatles‘ “final” song, “Now And Then,” reissues of the band’s beloved 1962-1966 and 1967-1970 compilations — known respectively as the Red and Blue albums — are out now.
The albums, originally released 50 years ago, were many fans’ gateway to the music of the Fab Four. Now, both compilations have been remixed in true stereo and Dolby Atmos, with 21 new tracks: 12 on Red and nine on Blue, including “Now and Then.” They’re available in a variety of configurations, including CD, vinyl and digital.
