First Listen: Beatles 'Anthology 4

I've only listened through it once, and I've done no a/b-ing or deep analysis, but here's my take on the "new" tunes included on the Beatles Anthology 4 album, out today. As you likely know, there are 13 previously unreleased tracks on the collection, along with new mixes of "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love." The rest of the release includes tunes that have popped up on the Fabs' boxsets, on the "The Beatles Bootleg Recordings 1963" online release, or on the "Free as a Bird" EP. "Now and Then," from 2023, rounds things out. So, here's what's new: "Tell Me Why (Takes 12 and 13)" — This is a really fun outtake that captures the group practicing their harmonies and then launching into the tune with a guitar intro, which was later lopped off. The band is having fun clowning around. Their voices sound great and the overall fidelity, like every tune on the album, is vivid and lively. It's like y...

John Lennon's Mother's Home Sells at Auction in Liverpool

From the Liverpool Echo : A music fan has clinched the former home of John Lennon 's mother in south Liverpool. The property on Blomfield Road went under the hammer yesterday (Monday, September 26) with a guide price of £250,000. Omega Auctions confirmed the sale price, including premiums, was £279,500. The property went to a 'UK buyer who is a big Beatles fan'. Omega previously sold George Harrison's childhood home for £160,000 in a process it said gathered "worldwide interest". Julia Lennon was 'notoriously less strict' than John's aunt Mimi, who he lived with on a more permanent basis on Menlove Avenue. In fact, Mimi is said to have dubbed the property 'the house of sin'. ...The band would regularly rehearse in the house from 1956 to 1958. Eric Griffiths of The Quarrymen once said: "We used to skive off school, buy ten Woodbines and a bag of chips then go to Julia's house. She always let us in." Julia Lennon was killed in a...
