Back To Black Friday will include the release of The Beatles: The Singles, a brand new box set from the Fab Four featuring four 7" singles, each with an A-side sung by one of the four, in their original sleeves. The Singles will include a Record Store Day branded-adapter along with a poster. All eight tracks, ("Ticket To Ride"/ "Yes It Is," "Hey Jude"/ "Revolution," "Something" / "Come Together," and "Yellow Submarine" / "Eleanor Rigby") are newly remastered and those remasters are appearing on vinyl for the first time.
Apple/Capitol will also release John Lennon � Imagine � 40th Anniversary Box Set, a 2010-remastered LP, which includes six tracks on a stunning white vinyl 12" along with a poster.
The record, to be released exclusively for the indie stores on Black Friday, will include tracks from the original Imagine LP, recorded at Lennon's Ascot Sound home studio and at the Record Plant, and released in 1971 along with session outtakes of classic songs "How Do You Sleep," "Jealous Guy," "Oh My Love," "Baby Please Don't Go," "I Don't Wanna Be A Soldier" and "Imagine (take 1)."
Yoko Ono, who is credited as the album's co-producer along with Lennon and Phil Spector, says "Record Store Day is an important way to support independent music sellers, and I'm happy that Imagine's 40th Anniversary LP will be a part of Record Store Day's November releases."
