Product Description

CD Description
If ANTHOLOGY: 2 was a study of how a Beatles songs came together, ANTHOLOGY: 3 is a study of how the Beatles themselvescame apart. In the band's final phase, Paul McCartney was an unabashed pop balladeer, John Lennon a sneering pop humorist and experimenter, and Harrison a separate songwriting force waiting to be unleashed. But the demos, rehearsals and outtakes that make up ANTHOLOGY: 3 are brilliant anyway. Lennon's early run-through of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" is literally bits and pieces--three melodic ideas crammed together, not yet including what would become the song's chorus. There are acoustic demos of two McCartney songs; the gorgeous "Junk", which eventually showed up on his first solo album, and "The Long And Winding Road"--the same performance that appeared on LET IT BE, but without the strings that were added against his will.
The real discoveries are Harrison's solo demos, including electric-guitar-and-vocal performances of "Something" and "All Things Must Pass". They nearly ache withbeauty, and Harrison sings them as if discovering his voicefor the first time. The finished versions pale next to these demos, which are among the highlights of the entire ANTHOLOGY series.

4.0 out of 5 stars Where's the rest?, 24 April 2006
By Marc B (Co. Laois, Ireland) - See all my reviews
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..

5.0 out of 5 stars Interesting demos, rehearsals, alternative versions, 20 Jun 2003
By Gontroppo "Music and Theology Lover" (Bathurst, NSW Australia) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
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 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.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best of the three., 25 April 2000
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.
