The Beatles albums in order: Release date order explained
For years, it seemed inconceivable that we would ever hear a new song from The Beatles, following the deaths of John Lennon and George Harrison in 1980 and 2001 respectively.
But 43 after Lennon’s death, and more than two decades on from Harrison’s passing, the seemingly impossible happened in November 2023 – the release of a new Beatles song.
The Fab Four were reunited for what has been described as their final new song together, entitled Now and Then.
Now and Then was initially written and recorded by John Lennon in the 1970s and later developed by other band members in 1995, but limited technology meant they were unhappy with the sound quality.
However, AI technology pioneered by Peter Jackson enabled Sir Paul McCartney and Sir Ringo Starr to lift Lennon's voice from the demo and turn it into a song featuring all four members.
The farewell song was accompanied by a Jackson-led music video as well as a 12-minute documentary film written and directed by Oliver Murray, featuring exclusive footage and commentary from Paul, Ringo, George, Sean Ono Lennon and Jackson.
If the release of Now and Then has left you wanting to take a deep dive into the band’s discography, then read on for The Beatles albums in order.
