We’re back with our first impressions of the new “last Beatles song,” "Now and Then."
‘Now and Then’ began as one of three demo recordings John Lennon made in the ‘70s, which Yoko gifted to the three surviving Beatles during the 1994 Anthology sessions. Work began on the track, with the goal of creating the first new Beatles song in decades, but it was abandoned due to the demo’s poor sound quality. Thanks to the magic of Peter Jackson’s groundbreaking Machine Audio Learning (“MAL”) technology, developed for the Get Back film, the song was finished in 2022 with original contributions from all four Beatles.
Mixed and produced by Giles Martin, ‘Now and Then’ is accompanied by expanded, remixed releases of the seminal “Red” (1962–66) and “Blue” (1967–70) compilation albums.
