Fab Four are reunited on track that pieces together performances by the late John Lennon and George Harrison with fresh recordings by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr
The Beatles have released what is being described as their final new song together, entitled Now and Then.
But the band struggled to complete a song from the demo of Now and Then, and abandoned their attempt. Now, enabled by AI technology that has better isolated John Lennon’s vocal from the demo, the song has finally been completed. McCartney and Ringo Starr recorded new parts for it, while the late George Harrison features via guitar parts kept from that shelved 1995 session.
McCartney explained the difficulties the band faced in 1995: “On John’s demo tape, the piano was a little hard to hear. And in those days, of course, we didn’t have the technology to do the separation … we kind of ran out of steam a bit, and time. Now and Then just languished in a cupboard.
