Considered one of the greatest albums ever recorded—and quite possibly the greatest, period—The Beatles' 1967 masterpiece will celebrate its 50th anniversary with a slew of re-releases this weekend. Most notable of the bunch is the super-deluxe edition, which includes the album in both the original mono mix and a new stereo mix and adds two discs of (mostly unreleased) outtakes and demos, illustrating how the album was shaped in the studio. There's also a 144-page book, a making-of video, and a new 5.1 surround mix on Blu-ray.
