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?As Casey Kasem might say, "Here are the Beatles, moving up another notch to number 3." And a third version of the single is now among Amazon's ten top-selling CDs and records.
1. Now & Then – Beatles (7-inch vinyl)
2. Hackney Diamonds – Rolling Stones (CD)
3. Now & Then – Beatles (12-inch vinyl)
4. 1989 – Taylor Swift (vinyl)
5. Equal Strain On All Parts – Jimmy Buffett (CD)
6. 1989 – Taylor Swift (CD)
7. The Beatles 1967-1970 (CD, 2023 edition)
8. The Beatles 1962-1966 (CD, 2023 edition)
9. Now & Then – Beatles (7-inch clear vinyl)
10. Christmas – Cher (CD)
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:
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.Interesting (but odd) that people are compelled to just go out and buy Beatles collections like the "years" sets.

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.I had been given the Years collection as a gift.

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.The 2023 re-issue of The Beatles 1967-1970 includes nine additional tracks: {i]Now & Then, Blackbird, Dear Prudence, Glass Onion, Within You Without You, Hey Bulldog, Oh! Darling, I Me Mine[/i] and I Want You (She's So Heavy). Those songs are on a third LP on the vinyl edition. The CD edition has all 37 songs in chronological order.
