Previstas para el 26 de mayo, habrá tres ediciones de lujo del álbum, que será lanzado digitalmente, como doble CD o paquete de vinilo de 2 LP.
Cada una de las ediciones de lujo comenzará con una nueva mezcla estéreo de Giles Martin -hijo del productor George Martin- y Sam Okell de las cintas maestras originales. También se incluyen en cada uno de los conjuntos dos nuevas mezclas estéreo con una toma instrumental inédita de Penny Lane y dos versiones inéditas de Strawberry Fields Forever.
Además la caja Superdeluxe contendrá 34 grabaciones inéditas de las sesiones. Se incluyen las «primeras tomas completas de las sesiones, secuenciadas en orden cronológico desde sus primeras fechas de grabación». La caja incluye un libro de tapa dura de 144 páginas lleno de fotos de las sesiones y promos de la época.
«Es una locura pensar que 50 años después estamos mirando hacia atrás en este proyecto con tanto cariño y un poco de asombro por cómo cuatro chicos, un gran productor y sus ingenieros podrían hacer una obra de arte tan duradera», dijo Paul McCartney.
