There are some treasures on this set:
The demo recordings at George Harrison's Esher home included on this set show The Beatles' genius at being able to develop an idea and turn it into a song. It is also a great experience to be able to listen in on the rehearsal for John's simple song Goodnight.
The demo recordings at George Harrison's Esher home included on this set show The Beatles' genius at being able to develop an idea and turn it into a song. It is also a great experience to be able to listen in on the rehearsal for John's simple song Goodnight.
The widely-distributed bootleg of George singing While My Guitar Gently Weeps, with accompaniment by Paul on organ is included, as is George's early version of All Things Must Pass. The Beatles made about 100 takes of Not Guilty, but eventually decided not to include it on their double album. It is a better song than some that did make it into the 1968 White album, and worth hearing how it was done by The Beatles, though you can also hear George's own version on his 1979 eponymously named album.
Rumours have it that the original version of Let It Be [originally named Get Back] will be released in 2003. But you can hear some of the original album here with the singalong version of Teddy Boy [with John's sarcastic comments in the background], the shorter version of I Me Mine, the original arrangement of Dig A Pony and the simpler version of Long and Winding Road.
Because sounds stunning as an a cappella version: it must be the most inventive vocal harmony The Beatles ever sang.
Highly recommended: you won't want to listen to this album every day, but it is fun to dig it out and play these alternative versions from time to time.

This double cd of out-takes and demos is almost like Beatles Unplugged. The sound is out of this world and the songs are ever better! I wasn't sure whether to get this as I have all the albums anyway but I'm so glad I did. There almost like different songs here! If your a beatle fan, you NEED to own this.

Some of the songs on this collection are near identical to the ones already released so why the omissions? No Child of Nature, Sour Milk Sea or Circles from the Esher Sessions or Suzy Parker from the Get Back sessions... also Helter skelter fades far too early (it was about 25 mins long)and missed a lot of the band improvising. Apart from that worth it for the acoustic While My Guitar Gently Weeps..

A mish-mash - but an enjoyable one
As with all of the Anthology series, there is value and enjoyment in hearing early takes of Beatles classics. There is interest in hearing the boys talking during the recordings. Read more

You get to the second disc. The first is a complete waste of space which reveals nothing of note, bar George's mournful, soulful demo of 'While my guitar...... Read more

Lennon/McCartney/Harrison magic
All three Anthology albums are just fantastic but this one just tips the others as it shows you more about their songwriting abilities and musicianship. Read more

From A Beginning to The End
Usually in a trilogy of compilations the third album is devoid of the quality in the first two. This would especially be expected when all the albums were double CDs. Read more

This is probably the most "no-frills" anthology, since there are no "discovered" John Lennon demos which the 3 surviving Beatles overdubbed parts on and no CD... Read more
