Description
The Beatles Anthology, which chronologically traces the history of The Beatles from their formation to their breakup through rare recordings and live performances, was released in 1995 as a documentary project consisting of video footage, books, and a trilogy of albums. The trilogy of albums mainly features numerous studio outtakes, demo recordings, existing TV broadcasts, and live recordings from concerts, and also includes new songs “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love” based on recordings left by John Lennon, which attracted worldwide attention. Three types of 2CDs were released in succession, from VOL.1 to VOL.3, and included previously unknown recordings and unreleased songs, which shocked Beatles collectors at the time and attracted their attention. Over the past 20 years, more and more recording sources have been unearthed, and many recordings, including those that were not included in 1995, have evolved to be closer to the original sound, unedited, and have improved quality. Furthermore, remastering technology has advanced and sound quality has improved. Mono sound sources have also been converted to real stereo using the latest AI sound source analysis, and unprecedented attempts have also evolved. While following the original anthology trilogy, “Complete Works” is basically re-edited based on the best sound source at the moment. It is an expanded and revised version that replaces episodes and versions longer than the original. Not only has the content increased significantly compared to the original, but when you compare the sound quality, you can hear the difference in the updated sound quality. As a sound source collection that chronologically traces the history of The Beatles, it covers all the basic rare sound sources and also includes newly excavated sound sources, making it a highly recommended and noteworthy series that can be said to be the latest edited version that is ideal for beginners to collectors. [Contents of Anthology Complete Works 2] CD1 starts with a live performance at Sweden TV, which was the first expedition in 1963. The original mono sound source has been converted to real stereo and the sound quality has been upgraded. The “Royal Variety Performance”, which can be said to be a historical live sound source, includes all the songs, including those cut from the original. “Long Tall Sally” and other unreleased songs from Around the Beatles, which were unearthed later in Washington DC, have also been added. The outtakes, which were mono on the session recordings for the album “A Hard Day’s Night”, have been upgraded to real stereo, and demos from this period such as “What Goes On”, “A World Without Love”, “One and One Is Two”, and “It’s for You” are also included, albeit in fragments. “You Know What to Do” has been converted to stereo. CD2 contains a complete recording of all the songs from the 1964 Hollywood Bowl. This is based on the original acetate recordings, which are different from the official remaster. The outtakes from the sessions for the latter album “Beatles for Sale” have also been replaced from mono to real stereo, improving the sound quality itself. The last outtake, the 1964 Christmas Message, is also included, which was not used. <Anthology Newly Edited, Expanded and Revised Edition “Complete Works” Volume 2> THE BEATLES / ANTHOLOGY : COMPLETE WORKS 2 CD1 1.
