Mookz 1,346 Posted November 3, 2023 Released today. Apparently old recordings cobbled together with new technology. Sounds pretty good. Quote Now and Then's eventful journey to fruition took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologised John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s. For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson and his team, used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way for the uncoupling of John’s vocal from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles. This remarkable story of musical archaeology reflects The Beatles’ endless creative curiosity and shared fascination with technology. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul and George and Ringo will get to make together and celebrates the legacy of the foremost and most influential band in popular music history.

NEWPOSTERGUY! 288 Posted November 3, 2023 8 hours ago, Patented Phil said: Terrible. Agreed. Sounds like most of John's solo career, which had itself a ton of misses - mostly when he went all twee and p-whipped, which is the kinda vibe this one throws off - total emasculation. And, for the love of all things holy, can somebody PLEASE smack that old fockin' hippie a$$wipe Ringo the next time he flashes that fockin' peace sign? GO. AWAY.

Yeah, it's almost like by definition it's not gonna be their best. Or else they would have put it out themselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
