The Beatles Launch Revamped Anthology and Standalone ‘Anthology 4’ With Disney+ Reissue

Giles Martin’s remixes steer a cross‑media refresh that raises fresh questions about recycled tracks.

Overview

  • The new Anthology releases are out now on vinyl, CD and streaming, aligning with Disney+’s re-release of The Beatles Anthology on Nov. 26 and a new Episode 9 on Nov. 28.
  • Giles Martin oversaw remastering and stereo processing across the catalog, delivering updated mixes of archival audio and historic TV performances.
  • The 36-track Anthology 4 functions as a compilation of outtakes, remixes and alternate takes rather than a new studio album, and it includes 2023’s “Now and Then.”
  • Martin highlights previously unheard moments such as the first take of “In My Life” and a lighthearted rehearsal of “All You Need Is Love.”
  • A Louder review argues the set offers few surprises, claiming 23 of the 36 tracks were previously issued and criticizing the collection for extending Beatles mythology.
