Beskrivelse

The Anthology Collection 12LP-sæt inkluderer de tre banebrydende Anthology-albums fra midten af 1990’erne, remasteret i 2025 af Giles Martin, samt en ny samling, Anthology 4. Med i alt 191 numre afslører samlingens studie-outtakes, liveoptrædener, radioudsendelser og demos The Beatles’ musikalske udvikling fra 1958 til den sidste single, “Now And Then”, udgivet i 2023.

Anthology 4 indeholder 13 hidtil uudgivne numre og 17 sange udvalgt fra Super Deluxe-versionerne af fem klassiske albums. Ud over fascinerende outtakes fra 1963 til 1969 inkluderer albummet nye 2025-mixes af “Free As A Bird” og “Real Love” produceret af Jeff Lynne.

Derudover præsenterer Anthology 4 26 numre, der aldrig tidligere er udgivet på vinyl.

Pladerne er presset på 180g sort vinyl, og hvert 3LP-album leveres i en triple gatefold-omslag med original artwork, notes af Mark Lewisohn og restaurerede fotos for Anthology 1-3; Anthology 4 indeholder helt nye notes skrevet af Kevin Howlett sammen med fotos. Ydersiden har den originale Klaus Voorman-triptykonkunst, samt et 3/4 O-Card-billede af bandet med detaljeret trackliste.
