The Beatles' White Album at 50: Marty celebrates live from London

This year marks the 50th anniversary of The Beatles' self-titled ninth LP, a.k.a. The White Album. 

To commemorate this milestone, the band's surviving members will release a deluxe reissue of the album on November 9th - to join the celebrations RTÉ lyric fm's Marty in The Morning is coming live from BBC studios in London this Friday from 7am to 10am.

The programme will feature an exclusive interview with producer Giles Martin (son of White Album producer and 'Fifth Beatle' George Martin) and engineer Sam Okell, who remastered the new release in stereo and 5.1 surround sound, sourced directly from the original four-track and eight-track session tapes. Listen to the remastered version of Glass Onion from The White Album below:

Add to that an interview with author and leading Beatles expert Kevin Howlett, a tour of the iconic Abbey Road studios, lots of special guests and of course Beatles tunes aplenty, and you've got the makings of a fab morning altogether! 

Marty In The Morning, RTÉ lyric fm, weekdays from 7am to 10am.
