The Beatles: Super deluxe box set of Abbey Road incoming?

Over the past couple of years, we’ve been spoilt for Beatles products.  Although the 50th anniversary of their peerless ‘Revolver’ came and went in 2016 without a reissue to mark the momentous occasion, the world was treated to lavish box sets of both ‘Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band’ in 2017 and ‘The Beatles’ (aka ‘The White Album’ in 2018.

With a pattern established, fans quickly speculated whether a 50th anniversary box set of ‘Abbey Road’ would emerge.

Although nothing has been confirmed from completely official channels as yet, a reliable source suggests this will certainly be the case, even leaking a finalised tracklist.
