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. 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. 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. This was the group's third double album in a row to go to #1 on the American charts, equaling a record set by Donna Summer back in the 1970s.

    The Beatles were so great that even a collection of outtakes and demos can be exciting.

    Why does Apple Corps expect us to jump for joy upon hearing the news that the whole Anthology series will be digitally remastered and released exclusively on iTunes along with an "Anthology highlights" album??? Are the rest of us insignificant? When did Apple Corps start valuing iTunes users over the rest of the world? The rest of us would like to have a physical copy of a remastered Anthology Box set along with a "Highlights" CD, too. Thanks :)
