Anthology 3
Encyclopedia
Anthology 3 is a compilation album
by The Beatles
released in October 1996 by Apple Records
as part of The Beatles Anthology
series. The album includes rarities and alternative tracks from the final two years of the band's career, ranging from the initial sessions for The Beatles
(also known as The White Album) to the last sessions for Let It Be
and Abbey Road in later 1969 and early 1970.
Following "Free as a Bird
" in Anthology 1
and "Real Love" in Anthology 2
, a third John Lennon
solo demo entitled "Now and Then
" was to be reworked by the three surviving members of The Beatles for Anthology 3. However, it was decided against due to complications and sound quality issues involving Lennon's recording. In its place is "A Beginning
", an orchestral instrumental track initially intended for The White Album. "A Beginning" was composed by producer George Martin
and intended to be the intro track to the Ringo Starr
penned "Don't Pass Me By
".
Similar to the previous Anthology albums, the cover image painted by Klaus Voorman features a collage of The Beatles-related imagery designed to appear as a wall of peeling posters and album covers. An updated picture of Voorman can be seen in George Harrison
's hair in a segment of the Revolver
album cover.
The album was certified 3x Platinum by the RIAA
, and was the group's third double album in a row to reach #1 on the US charts, equalling a record set by Donna Summer
