The Beatles’ ‘Anthology 4’ Is Now Available As A 3LP Or 2CD
The collection of unreleased demos, rare sessions, and new mixes will be available in 2CD and 3LP formats.
By popular demand, The Beatles‘ Anthology 4 will now be available to order as a standalone 3LP and 2CD. The Beatles Anthology collection, recently expanded to four volumes, was previously announced in 12 LP Vinyl, 8 CD boxset, and digital configurations. These 2CD and 3LP editions of Anthology 4 will also arrive November 21.
Newly curated by Giles Martin, Anthology 4 features 13 unreleased demos, rare sessions from 1963–69, and new mixes by their original producer Jeff Lynne of Grammy-winning singles “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love.” Both 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.
“Free As A Bird” (2025 Mix) is out now with a restored music video.
The double CD is housed in a gatefold digisleeve with a 48 page booklet. It includes 17 songs previously unavailable on CD. The triple LP set is pressed on 180g vinyl in a triple gatefold sleeve. 26 of the tracks are on vinyl for the first time. Both include track notes by Kevin Howlett and an introduction compiled from Derek Taylor’s 1996 interview. Both box sets include the original sleeve notes for Anthology 1, ,2 and 3; the new Anthology 4.
The celebration of Anthology doesn’t just include music releases: The 25th Anniversary Edition of The Beatles Anthology Book arrives on October 14th via Apple Corps Ltd. and Chronicle Books. The bestselling 368-page book is illustrated with more than 1,300 photos, documents, artwork, and other ephemera from the band’s archives. Meanwhile, The Beatles’ previously released eight-part Anthology documentary video series now has a brand-new ninth episode. It includes behind-the-scenes footage of Paul, George and Ringo coming together between 1994 and 1995 to work on The Anthology. The Beatles Anthology documentary series streams exclusively on Disney+ beginning November 26.
