Unlike traditional music documentaries, the series features John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr narrating their own story, chronicling their rise from Liverpool and Hamburg to Beatlemania, their U.S. breakthrough, their 1960s counterculture leadership, and their breakup.
Restored and remastered by Apple Corps, Peter Jackson’s Wingnut Films, Park Road Post, and Giles Martin, the series includes new audio mixes for most tracks. A new ninth episode, featuring previously unseen 1994-1995 footage of Paul, George, and Ringo working on The Anthology and reflecting on their Beatles journey, has been added.
The Anthology’s musical component, curated by George Martin and remastered by Giles Martin, will be released as three double albums on November 21.
A new Anthology 4 includes 13 unreleased demos, session recordings, and rare tracks, plus fresh mixes of “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love,” revitalized by Jeff Lynne using de-mixed John Lennon vocals.
These four volumes offer deep insight into the evolution of The Beatles’ timeless hits.On October 14, Apple Corps Ltd. and Chronicle Books will release the 25th Anniversary Edition of The Beatles Anthology book.
This 368-page volume features candid recollections from John, Paul, George, and Ringo, alongside insights from colleagues like Neil Aspinall, George Martin, and Derek Taylor. Illustrated with over 1,300 photos, documents, and memorabilia from the band’s archives, the book is available for pre-order now.
