The Beatles - Anthology 1, 2 & 3 (1995, 1996 & 1996)


Anthology 1 is a compilation album by The Beatles and the first of a three-volume collection. It was released by Apple Records (catalogue number 34445) in November 1995 (tying in with the televised special The Beatles Anthology, which aired in three parts), and includes rarities and alternative tracks from the period 1958–1964, including their days as "The Quarrymen", through the Decca auditions to the album Beatles for Sale. Also included on this album was the Jeff Lynne-produced track "Free as a Bird," billed as the first new Beatles song in 25 years.
Anthology 2 is a compilation album by The Beatles released in March 1996 by Apple Records as part of the The Beatles Anthology series. The album includes rare, live, and alternative tracks from the sessions for Help! through the sessions for Magical Mystery Tour and early 1968 sessions before the band travelled to India. The album featured the second new Beatle track, "Real Love", a re-worked song originally by John Lennon.
Anthology 3 is a compilation album by The Beatles released in October 1996 by Apple Records as part of The Beatles Anthology series. The album includes rarities and alternative tracks from the final two years of the band's career, ranging from the initial sessions for The Beatles (also known as The White Album) to the last sessions for Let It Be and Abbey Road in later 1969.
Following "Free as a Bird" in Anthology 1 and "Real Love" in Anthology 2, a third John Lennon solo demo entitled "Now and Then" was to be reworked by the three surviving members of The Beatles for Anthology 3. However, it was decided against due to complications and sound quality issues involving Lennon's recording. In its place is "A Beginning," an orchestral instrumental track initially intended for The White Album.
Similar to the previous Anthology albums, the cover image painted by Klaus Voorman features a collage of The Beatles-related imagery designed to appear as a wall of peeling posters and album covers. An updated picture of Voorman can be seen in George Harrison's hair in a segment of the Revolver album cover.
This was the group's third double album in a row to go to #1 on the American charts, equaling a record set by Donna Summer back in the 1970s.
