REVAMPING THE FABS
OCTOBER 17
EMI announces that they’ve at last agreed a tracklisting for Anthology 1, the 2-CD and triple vinyl of Beatles rarities, outtakes, and live performances from the period 1958-64, which includes Free As A Bird, a John Lennon demo reworked by the three remaining Beatles, and produced by George Harrison’s Traveling Wilburys bandmate, ELO’s Jeff Lynne. George Martin says: “I am trying to tell the story of The Beatles in music, from the time they met to the moment they split up in 1970.”
