The release of "Now And Then" is accompanied by a 12-minute film about the recording process, which will be made public the day before the song's release. Later in November, expanded versions of the Beatles' compilations "1962-1966" and "1967-1970" will be released, with "Now And Then" added to the latter collection. According to Starr, this is the last track that will feature all four Beatles.
Key takeaways:
- A new Beatles song, "Now And Then", is set to be released on November 2, created using artificial intelligence to separate John Lennon's original vocals from a piano track used in the late 1970s.
- The song features contributions from all four Beatles, including a guitar part recorded by George Harrison nearly three decades ago, and a new drum part by Ringo Starr.
- The song was completed last year by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, with McCartney also adding a string arrangement written with the help of Giles Martin, son of the late Beatles producer George Martin.
- Expanded versions of the Beatles’ compilations “1962-1966” and “1967-1970” will be released later in the month, with "Now And Then" being added to the latter collection.
