The Beatles Anthology was a huge mediatized project that came about between 1995 and 1996. It was surrounded by much hype because the three surviving members of The Beatles had reunited to participate in a TV documentary where, for the first time ever, they would tell their side of their own band’s history. This documentary series interviewed all three surviving members, producer George Martin and used Stock Footage of John Lennon to fill in his death. The series was also a real gem for the fans because it also showed complete concert footage in between interviews that had seldom before been seen on TV, or in some cases footage never even outside the Beatles’ inner circle.Apart from this prestigious TV documentary series the Beatles also brought out three double discs with new material. Though new is a relative term here. Paul, George and Ringo recorded two new singles, "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love", based on two old unreleased songs by John Lennon with his lyrics kept intact, while they added their musical and vocal performances. All other tracks were archive material, recorded in The '60s, but veritable collectors’ items of historical value, such the very first Beatles recordings from the late 1950s and early 1960s, including the demos that failed to impress the music labels before EMI signed them to a contract. (Pete Best, the original Beatles drummer who was fired from the band right after they were signed by EMI, can be heard on nine tracks, including both the Decca and EMI auditions.) A lot of concert material is also present – and some snippets from the Beatles Anthology TV documentary. The most interesting stuff are the numerous out-takes, demos, unreleased recordings, early versions, alternative takes that give the audience a glimpse inside the creation process behind the Beatles’ most beloved songs. Most of the material was a case of What Could Have Been, with some songs only kept off Beatles albums because the other members vetoed them. Some of them would end up on solo albums by the members, such as McCartney (1970), All Things Must Pass (1970) and George Harrison (1979).Some material, like the concert tracks, had been collected on separate bootlegs before. Even to those people The Beatles Anthology was a collectors' treasure, because it compiled a lot of the material in excellent CD quality. The unreleased takes had never before been heard by anyone outside the Abbey Road Studios, though they weren't always exact renditions. Sometimes different takes of one song were edited together as one track to make them a bit more interesting to listen to (and in some cases Bowdlerized for the general public).Certain fans and critics felt that the video documentary was interesting and a welcome gift to the fans, though it didn't exactly provide much information that hadn't been told before. The CDs were also met with criticism, seeing that only two songs were actually recorded by the surviving band members and the rest was Album Filler, consisting of material that was more of interest to historians and hardcore collectors than the general audience. Nevertheless, the albums sold so massively well that the Beatles effectively became the internationally best-selling musical act of 1995 and 1996!In 2000, a companion book was released. | |

Subliminal Seduction | |
| The Beatles Anthology (Music) / int_11d206ef | comment |
Subliminal Seduction: "Free As A Bird" ends with a clip of John saying "Turned Out Nice Again" note The "catch phrase" of British comedian and ukelele player George Formby played backwards, while George plays ukelele. The fact that the clip sounds like the phrase "Made by John Lennon" when played normally is purely a coincidence. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness: A lot of the early versions of the songs sound pretty odd and sometimes almost unrecognizable, like "Helter Skelter", which is played in a much slower version. During "I'm Down" we can hear Paul joking: "plastic soul, man. Plastic soul.", instead of the final title Rubber Soul. | |

Loony Fan: In the documentary series the Beatles talk about Beatlemania and especially how impressive and scary the experience could be at times. Ringo tells an anecdote of a man he saw rising from his wheelchair in joy when he saw the band appear, then falling over flat on his face. He cites this as the moment he started to get enough of all this craze. | |

Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Even though, some tracks on Disc 3 have the Beatles perform with only one or two members present. "Come and Get It", a song written by Paul McCartney was a 1970 hit for Badfinger, but can be heard here in a demo version by Macca himself. And "A Beginning" is a George Martin composition. | |

Repurposed Pop Song: The entire album may count as one, seeing that none of these demos, outtakes and early versions were ever meant to be released in the first place. "Junk", "All Things Must Pass" and "Not Guilty" were intended for a Beatles album, but ended up on Beatles solo albums instead, namely Paul McCartney's McCartney (1970) and George Harrison's All Things Must Pass (1970) and George Harrison (1979). | |

Left the Background Music On | |
| The Beatles Anthology (Music) / int_a18042f1 | comment |
Left the Background Music On: Lennon’s demo versions often had some unwanted background noise because they were recorded on cassettes. These couldn’t be filtered away by studio technicians, so they tried to overdub most of it by having the new musical arrangements by the living Beatle members trying to block the sounds out. | |

Homage | |
| The Beatles Anthology (Music) / int_a1a1491e | comment |
Homage: The Rutles released a parody album named "Archaeology". This album even included a spoof of "Free as a Bird," titled "Unfinished Words." Perhaps fittingly, delays in the release of the third volume of the Beatles' series ultimately meant that the Rutles' parody arrived in shops on the same day as its inspiration. | |

Improv | |
| The Beatles Anthology (Music) / int_a33b90b2 | comment |
Improv: The band members often start improvising into jams or adding funny lines here and there. A good example is John who starts singing about Yoko's divorce with her former husband during "Oh Darling". | |

Heavy Meta: The music video of "Free As A Bird" is full of visual references to the Beatles life and work. Similarly the album and DVD covers are collages of various Beatles album covers and posters, designed by Klaus Voormann, who also created the album cover of Revolver. | |

Evolving Music: Three double albums full of unreleased footage of Beatles songs that show how these songs have evolved during recording sessions into their final iconic forms. Particularly interesting are the three versions of "Strawberry Fields Forever", which are neatly put behind each other in chronological order on side two of the second disc. | |

Shout-Out: The music video of "Free As A Bird" is full of shout-outs to The Beatles, both having them appear in archive footage, as well as visual references to their album covers and song lyrics. The song ends with George playing ukelele while a backwards playing recording of the phrase "turned out nice again" is heard, in reference to the catch phrase of British comedian and ukelele player George Formby. Two Blue Meanies from Yellow Submarine appear in the music video of "Free As A Bird" and one in the TV documentary series, added to archive footage of George diving into a pool, making it appear as if the Blue Meanie kicked him in the water. | |
