New Beatles song 'Now and Then': The 'final' Beatles track with John Lennon explained
In 1995, the surviving Beatles reunited for their Anthology series of albums. As part of that project, the band released two brand new songs, but fans have always longed for more.
Partnering with producer Jeff Lynne, the Beatles - Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr - used demo recordings of the late John Lennon's voice to create two new tracks: 'Free as a Bird' and 'Real Love'.
However, there was another song that was almost included as part of the album: 'Now and Then'.
But what happened to it, and will we finally hear it in 2023? Who wrote and recorded 'Now and Then'? In the late 1970s, John Lennon composed 'Now and Then'.
He made a demo recording of the unfinished song at his home in the Dakota Building, New York City, in 1979.
