Before the official announcement, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr teased the release of a new set of anthologies.
There was a countdown of 1-4 which included portions of photos from the original Anthologies collection. Of course the big news is that there is a 4th collection to go with the original three. The first three anthologies are remastered (but not remixed), and the fourth one adds more songs and outtakes from throughout The Beatles time together. Owners of the original set are wondering if Anthology 4 will be sold separately, but it doesn’t look that way so far. (The track list for #4 is farther below in the article.)
The release date is November 21st.
Here’s how the set looks in The Beatles online store.
As expected, the new Anthology 4 spans The Beatles career with tracks not on the previous three sets. 17 of the 36 tracks are taken from the box sets for Revolver, Sgt. Pepper, The White Album, Abbey Road, & Let It Be.
The video anthology, now with a new 9th episode, will be streaming on Disney+ starting November 26th, 2025. Looks like they’re releasing it three episodes at a time. The video has been restored, and the music remixed.
They’re even rereleasing the Anthology book. The only thing new is the cover, and that it’s a paperback. It lists for $50, and is available October 14th.
Now we still await the release of a Rubber Soul box set. The 60th anniversary of the album’s release is December 3rd, 2025. But, that seems too close to the Anthology release for it to happen then.
