As The Beatles’ global Anthology 2025 campaign rolls on with this autumn’s exciting music, documentary series, and book releases, the new Anthology Collection and Anthology 4 music compendiums are released today by Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe.
The complete Anthology Collection features 191 tracks across Anthology 1, 2, and 3, and the new Anthology 4 (also available individually), which boasts 13 previously unreleased demos and session recordings and other rare tracks, alongside “Now And Then” and Jeff Lynne’s new 2025 mixes for “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love.” Beautifully restored, the music video for “Real Love” is also out today, joining the restored “Free As A Bird” video released in August.
Originally curated by George Martin, Anthology’s music collections are newly remastered by Giles Martin. They provide enthralling insight into the early development of songs that became the recorded masterpieces, resonating just as loudly today as they did when they were first recorded.
Disney+ has debuted the new trailer and key art for its upcoming release of “The Beatles Anthology.” Episodes 1-3 of the series launch on November 26, followed by Episodes 4-6 on November 27 and Episodes 7-9 on November 28.
“The Beatles Anthology,” Apple Corps’ landmark, UK-produced documentary series exploring the life and times of the most influential and beloved band of all time, as told by The Beatles themselves, will make its streaming debut exclusively on Disney+ beginning November 26. Beautifully restored and expanded from eight to nine episodes, the series offers an unprecedented and intimate view of The Beatles’ legendary trajectory and inner workings.
First released three decades ago, The Beatles’ eight-part “Anthology” series reinvented the music documentary. Instead of a standard treatment centered on an outside narrator and talking heads, “The Anthology” featured John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr candidly telling their own story, with all its complexities and contradictions. It introduced The Beatles to new generations of viewers and listeners and marked the start of a creative and commercial afterlife that continues to this day.
The 25th Anniversary Edition of The Beatles Anthology book is available now from Apple Corps Ltd. and Chronicle Books. Throughout its pages, John, Paul, George and Ringo share their honest, intimate and revelatory recollections of the band’s journey. Their memories are accompanied by impressions from their closest colleagues, including Neil Aspinall, George Martin, Derek Taylor and others. The bestselling 368-page book is beautifully illustrated with more than 1,300 photos, documents, artwork, and other memorabilia from the band’s archives.
Everything The Beatles did involved change. Listening to their songs and watching their story unfold brings us closer to the shifts in culture, ideas and music they helped to shape—and which continue to resonate today. The Anthology was always about their past, but this new edition confirms its enduring place in the present and future.
