Beatles Announce the Return of ‘Anthology’ as a Music Collection With Added ‘Volume 4’ and a Disney+ Documentary Series With Bonus Episode

Speculation over what major Beatles product Apple Corps would issue as the group’s big annual fall release can now end: It’s a reissue of all of the components of “Anthology,” the band’s multimedia retrospective project of the late ’90s, with additional material added to both the music boxed set and the TV series. The documentary will now be seen as a streaming series on Disney+.

Although a new generation may be discovering all of this audio and visual material for the first time, longtime Beatles buffs will be most interested in the added material. For the LP, CD and digital music packages, that will come in the form of an “Anthology 4” in the boxed set that will include 13 previously unreleased demos and session recordings, alongside other outtakes that already appeared on the band’s deluxe editions in recent years. For the documentary series, that entails a newly assembled ninth episode to join the original eight that were first aired in 1995.

The Beatles‘ “Anthology” book is also being reissued in a softcover 25th anniversary edition, albeit without any additional material beyond the photos and text that were part of the original 2000 printing.



The book reissue will be first out of the gate in this campaign, with an Oct. 14 release date. The music collections will follow on Nov. 21 (a week before Black Friday) in vinyl, CD, digital download and streaming formats. Five days after that, on Nov. 26 (the day before Thanksgiving), the first three episodes of the remastered and expanded documentary series will begin streaming on Disney+.

The new Episode Nine of the documentary series is announced as “including unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Paul, George and Ringo coming together between 1994 and 1995 to work on ‘The Anthology’ and reflecting on their shared life as the Beatles,” per Tuesday’s announcement. The entire documentary has been restored and remastered by Apple Corps’ production team in conjunction with Peter Jackson’s Wingnut Films & Park Road Post teams, plus Giles Martin, whose new audio mixes will be heard in “the majority of the featured music.”

The expanded music collection going out under the “Anthology” banner will be available as an eight-CD set and a 12-LP vinyl set along with the digital editions. This boxed set will include 191 tracks in all, with the new “Anthology 4” volume contributing 36 of those numbers. The fresh additions have been curated by Giles Martin, who also remastered all of the material from the three original audio volumes of “Anthology,” which were first released individually in 1995-96.

Among the inclusions on “Anthology 4” are remixed versions of “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love,” the two songs that came out in conjunction with the original “Anthology” releases, in which John Lennon demos from the 1970s were augmented and brought to completion as official Beatles tracks by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. These 2025 remixes are described as having been “given new life by their original producer, Jeff Lynne, using de-mixed John Lennon vocals.” (“Now and Then,” released in 2023 as the third and apparently last of the posthumous Beatles singles, joins those two remixed 1995 songs to form the final side of “Anthology 4.”)

The new remix of “Free as a Bird” was released Tuesday as the first previously unheard track to come out from the forthcoming set.
Anthology 4” also includes track notes written by Kevin Howlett and an introduction compiled from 1996 interviews recorded with Beatles adviser Derek Taylor.

The 36 tracks on “Anthology 4” are a mixture of the 13 previously unreleased tracks and numbers that heretofore appeared on deluxe sets celebrating albums like “Abbey Road,” “Let It Be,” the White Album, “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” and “Revolver,” plus a couple from the limited digital release “The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963.” Most of the previously unissued tracks are from the Beatles’ early and mid-’60s sessions for albums that have not yet gotten the full deluxe treatment, the way everything from “Revolver” forward in the catalog’s chronology has.



Some fans were hoping for a “Rubber Soul” 60th anniversary set with session outtakes, but Apple Corps has not released any full-album deluxe sets since “Revolver” got that treatment in 2022. Last year’s big Beatles release was “The Beatles: 1964 Albums In Mono,” which did not include previously unreleased material, issued in conjunction with Disney+’s “Beatles ’64” documentary.

Below is the full track listing for the “Anthology 4” component of the music boxed set:

So there's no way to just buy an LP of the new material? Pretty lame as a Beatles completist who has pretty much everything but Let it Be Naked (which I plan to get sometime soon) on vinyl.

Excited for a new episode of the Anthology though which is a top notch doc series. Will give me an excuse to rewatch it all.

No it's available. Will try to clean up and expand original post later. Hard to do on my phone.

Oh that's awesome then. Thanks for posting!

Actually it looks like only the $400 box set is available to pre-order. I hope that's not actually the case. 😡

*Post wasn't loading correctly, made the track listing look weird*


Definitely hoping the remastered versions of Free, Real and N&T are on the Vol 4 CD. Last year I got into creating a Beatles CD collection and got all three Anthology sets already.



So the remastered versions of Free, Real and Now and Then aren't available on the Vol 4 CD? What the hell?

They're LP3, Side B. So I assume they're the last 3 tracks on the CD. Where are you reading anything else?

Updated my post.

That's all I'm seeing too . Not holding out hope for a single release of the new material but maybe I'll be surprised. If not then I'll save my money and probably will feel less compelled to pick up Let It Be Naked or any other future releases as I will no longer be a completist. Hopefully too many others don't fall in my category. Fookin Beatles marketing bullshit ...

Anyways to add something positive here is the Anthology version of Only a Northern Song which I think is the biggest improvement from the officially released track IMO.

    3. Now And Then

Just listened to the remastered Free as a Bird and it definitely corrects the muffled quality to the Lennon vocals. Will take a few listens to get used to it but it’s definitely an improvement.

Is there a separate release of Volume 4?

Not directly related to this, but on this date August 22nd, both the first photo of all four Beatles
in 1962


And the last photo of all four Beatles together
in 1969


were taken. Everything the Beatles ever did (barring the three extra songs), was done within those 7 years.

Amazing.

Cool, I can't wait to rewatch the series on Disney+, it's been quite awhile since I've last seen them, plus a new bonus episode! I already have the original hardcover Anthology book but I'll probably pick up the new CD set.

I heard the first place they played was in some kind of cavernous-like place. Was that it?

Yes that was The Cavern.

New cleaned up video with the new mix. John actually sounds like John on this song now. Sublime.

I know that volumes 1-3 are the new remixed versions streaming on Qobuz, not sure about the other services. Sounds pretty good, IMO.

Always loved the Free as a Bird video. It's the ultimate Leonardo Dicaprio pointing at the screen video for fans.

(Looks back at my last 7 years) Nope, they win.

Looks like they listened and are releasing the 4th volume separately. I may still rebuy the first three because the remastering may be worth it.

TV Series coming to D+ starting next week
