The Beatles Anthology has been reissued in expanded form with a restored eight-part documentary extended by a new ninth episode and an expanded music collection. The documentary will premiere on Disney+ on November 26th and includes previously unseen behind-the-scenes footage of Ringo Starr, George Harrison and Paul McCartney from 1994–1995. Restoration work involved Apple Corps, Peter Jackson's Wingnut Films & Park Road Post teams, and Giles Martin, who also created new audio mixes. The Anthology Collection gains a fourth disc, Anthology 4, featuring 13 previously unreleased demos, session recordings and rare tunes, plus new mixes of "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love." The 191-track set releases November 21st in multiple physical and digital formats.
The eight-part doc, originally released in 1995, will celebrate its 30th anniversary exclusively on Disney+ when it hits the streamer on November 26th. Famous for featuring The Fab Four of Ringo Starr, George Harrison, Paul McCartney and John Lennon telling their collective story instead of a narrator or talking heads, this anniversary edition has been restored and will add a new ninth episode.
The musical part of the project, The Anthology Collection, is also being expanded. Originally released across three double albums of rare tracks curated by George Martin, this reissue will arrive with a new fourth album, Anthology 4. Curated and restored by Giles Martin, the fourth set of music includes 13 previously unreleased demos, session recordings, and rare tunes. It will also boast new mixes of the Grammy-winning "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love," both refreshed by their original producer, Jeff Lynne, using "de-mixed"
