The Beatles | Red & Blue Album Reissue + Now And Then (Single)
The final Beatles song sees the light of day after more than 4 decades.
Together, and separately, The Beatles have always had a knack for the unexpected. And now 2023 brings one of the most anticipated releases from their long and endlessly eventful history. "Now And Then" is the final Beatles song - written and sung by John Lennon, developed and worked on by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, and now finalised by Paul and Ringo over four decades later.
This final instalment of The Beatles' recorded history is followed up with new releases of the two compilation albums that are always seen as the definitive introduction to their work: 'The Red Album' (1962-1966) and 'The Blue Album' (1967-1970). Expanded for their new 2023 Edition releases, the collections together span the entire Beatles' recorded canon with 75 standout tracks, from their first single, "Love Me Do", to their last, "Now And Then". The collections' 21 newly added tracks (twelve on 'Red' and nine on 'Blue') showcase even more of the Beatles' very best songs.
In recent years, several tracks from 1967-1970 and a few from 1962-1966 have received new stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes for The Beatles' Special Edition album releases, including Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (2017), The Beatles ('White Album') (2018), Abbey Road (2019), Let It Be (2021) and Revolver (2022), as well as new stereo mixes for The Beatles' 1 (2015). All tracks not included on these releases have been recently mixed in stereo and/or Dolby Atmos by Giles Martin and Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios, aided by WingNut Films' audio de-mixing technology. Both collections feature new essays by journalist and author John Harris.
