Comments: The 2009 remixes made specifically for the computer game "Rockband".
Abbey Road Rockband Mixes contains the whole Abbey Road LP extracted from the video game.
Released at the same time as the remastered catalogue by EMI, the sound quality of these tracks is outstanding.
And like the others from the video game contains some studio chat before each of the songs.
Again, not really sure if it's worth getting this disc as there is nothing radical about it.
But the sound quality is superb and it’s always enjoyable hearing some studio banter before the tracks.
The artwork is again very simple, it does come with an 8-page booklet which just contains seven photographs.
