BEATLES
The musical side of Anthology – originally represented by three albums of new, unheard and rare material – also has an important new element. Volume 4 includes new mixes of The Beatles’ Anthology-associated hit singles. The Grammy-winning Free As A Bird and Real Love have been given new life by their original producer, Jeff Lynne, using de-mixed John Lennon vocals. Both singles’ new mixes are placed alongside the band’s most recent UK No. 1 hit single, 2023’s Grammy-winning Now And Then, the last Beatles song. All three singles were created from rudimentary home demos John recorded in the 1970s, later completed with vocal and instrumental parts recorded by Paul, George and Ringo.

Across all the Anthology albums, there are 191 tracks on a deluxe 12LP 180-gram vinyl and 8CD box set. Both box sets include the original sleeve notes for Volumes 1, 2 and 3; the new Volume 4 includes track notes written by Kevin Howlett and an introduction compiled from 1996 interviews recorded with The Beatles’ close friend and adviser Derek Taylor.
