In honour of this new release which they were going to play at 10 the radio show I usually listen to in the morning polluted the entire morning show with all Beatles. I had to turn it off.

Amazon is selling Now & Then as a 12-inch vinyl single, backed by a remix of Love Me Do. In the UK, the songs are also available on a CD single. I have no idea why the CD single is not available in the US. Here is a documentary on the making of Now & Then:

Interesting (but odd) that people are compelled to just go out and buy Beatles collections like the "years" sets. And I know nothing about you-know-who, but I thought the album 1989 was an old release, and that Ryan Adams had himself covered it years ago. So WTF?

Interesting little documentary.
I’ve got software that will split vocals out of a song, but they don’t sound that awesome.
I guess I need Jackson level computers.
The song is lovely, haunting, and well done, but it’s not much of a toe-tapper. I can’t see myself adding it to a playlist or cranking it up in the car.

I had been given the Years collection as a gift. It makes sense if you like certain eras more than others. What doesn’t make sense for Beatles fans is that some of their albums were really based on the whole album being a composition.

I have no problem with the "Years" collections; in fact I have the '67-'70 one. My comment is about being in the top 10 of current sales.

At first, I thought most of those were already on the CD, but I checked and realized I also have the Anthology series. Anthology 3 has all those tracks, except for the new AI song release.

Now & Then will debut at #37 on Billboard's Rock & Alternative Airplay chart for the week ending November 11, 2023. It will debut on the Hot 100 for the week ending November 18. That chart will be based on sales, airplay and streaming from November 3 through November 9. I expect it will debut at number one.

Deirdre – Kelton Hernandez, who took his screen name from a song on the Beach Boys' Sunflower album – has made many remixes of singles and albums by the Beatles and the Doors. A majority of them isolate the instrumentals and/or the backing vocals. You can listen to them here:


Here is his remix of Now & Then with the deleted second verse ("I don't wanna lose you, lose you or abuse you") restored:

In the video, why is the song being recorded on a nearly obsolete TDK 90-minute cassette tape instead of on a digital medium such as compact disc? ?
