Coming on November 26. All cleaned up and looking good, plus new content too:

The Academy Award winning film War Is Over! is getting a wider release. We'll finally be able to see it in full on YouTube from 1 December. And here's the trailer: Also, to whet your appetite, here are some stills from film: It looks like it's an incredible animation with a great message and we're very much looking forward to seeing this after waiting almost two years.

There's been a further development in the green vinyl 'Happy Xmas (War Is Over)' 7" single release announced a few weeks back..... It all seems timed to coincide with the release of a new children's book, which in turn is adapted from the Academy Award winning animated short film of the same name that Sean Ono Lennon was involved in.......

It's been a busy time over the last few weeks and months for Beatle collectors. There's been so much product announced it's hard to keep on top of it. So, we decided to made a visual representation for you, the avid completist, so that you can keep track. If you want everything, THIS is what you'll need to order: (Click on the image to see a larger version)

As if we didn’t have enough Beatle or Beatle-related product between now and Christmas…. Now comes news that four coloured vinyl LPs from the Ringo Starr camp are due October 24. They are his first four solo releases, beginning with his solo debut Sentimental Journey, produced by George Martin and originally released in 1970, now on custom "buttermilk yellow" vinyl:

A couple of Beatle-related and Dark Horse Records titles have popped up in the Record Store Day Black Friday release list published overnight. First up is the next installment in the ongoing George Harrison/Zoetrope disc back-catalogue series, Living In The Material World: Featuring the 2024 50th anniversary mix of the album, this will come in a numbered sleeve with an insert of the original cover art.

There will be 175 copies available for the US market, and 175 copies for the UK market. These limited signed edition books are packaged in a deluxe cloth case featuring screen printing, including a 24-page full-colour bound-in booklet of…

Apple has announced it will re-issue Badfinger's Magic Christian Music on a striking blue vinyl as part of National Album Day in the UK. You might recall last year the theme was 'Great British Groups' and The Beatles A Hard Day's Night was issued on white vinyl to celebrate. Well, this year the theme is 'Rock': Magic Christian Music…

Woke up this morning to a couple of intriguing emails. First was big news from Apple. Seems they've listened to fan reaction and have decided to offer Anthology 4 as a separate purchase: By popular demand, Anthology 4 is now available as a standalone triple LP and double CD — 36 tracks including 13 previously-unreleased demos, rare sessions from 1963–69, the band’s 2023 final single 'Now and Then', and new mixes by Jeff Lynne of 'Free As a Bird' and 'Real Love'.

Announced yesterday out of the blue a new Wings "best of" compilation to accompany the forthcoming book, Wings - The Story of a Band on the Run (and possibly the new documentary film, Man On The Run): WINGS - The Definitive Collection will contain purely Wings songs (in other words no Paul McCartney solo, or Paul and Linda McCartney…

Ever wondered why the concerts, which form the centrepiece of the forthcoming John Lennon/Yoko Ono Power to the People box set, were called the One To One concerts? The BBC has just released a backgrounder as part of it's Witness History podcast series explaining it. You may need to register to listen (it's free), but it is well worth it for a very informative 9-minute listen.

It's now been announced. Here is the official press release with all the details on the Anthology Collection audio releases, the Beatles Anthology documentary series on Disney+ and The Beatles Anthology book: London – August 21, 2025 – First released three decades ago, The Beatles’ eight-part Anthology series reinvented the music documentary. Instead of a standard treatment centred on an outside narrator and talking heads, …

It looks like The Beatles Anthology TV series is destined for a Disney+ streaming release as expected: When it first aired in 1995 Anthology was a six-part series, so it looks to have been expanded somewhat given the advertising banner says it is now a nine-parter. And that it is due to go to air on November 26 with a three-part premier.

Let the speculation begin. The rumoured Beatles Anthology extension is starting to be publicised on official Beatle socials pages: And on the official website: And these images here: But what will the box contain? This image (reportedly from Amazon) shows an 8 CD set called Anthology Collection: Stay tuned for more.......

Got to admire his courage though! This was released in 1965, the year The Beatles produced the albums Help! and Rubber Soul. Plus the singles 'Ticket To Ride'/'Yes It Is', 'Yesterday'/'Act Naturally' and 'We Can Work It Out'/'Day Tripper'... Meanwhile, again in 1965, Brad put out this tune, 'God, Country and My Baby', which also sank without trace.

As he promised months ago, Sean Lennon and the Lennon Estate have this week formally announced they'll releasing (on 10 October, 2025) a mega box set focusing on John Lennon playing live in New York in the year 1972. It's called Power To The People (The Ultimate Collection) and is released in time to celebrate John Lennon’s 85th birthday.

You might know if you're a regular reader that we're quite interested in celebrating artists and creatives who sometimes go unsung, but have helped The Beatles as a band or solo to achieve their artistic vision. One such talented and long-time collaborator passed away last week. His name was Sir Brian Clarke, a British painter, architectural artist, designer and printmaker, best known for his large-scale stained glass, tapestry, ceramics and mosaic projects.

The Beatles have announced this week that the new CEO of their company, Apple Corps Ltd., will be Tom Greene. He replaces Jeff Jones, who ran the company for almost 18 years and decided to step away from the job last year. In a group statement, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Olivia Harrison and Sean Ono Lennon joined together to say: “We are thrilled to welcome Tom Greene as CEO.

This coming Wednesday is officially Global Beatles Day. How will you be celebrating? 25 June is increasingly being recognised as a day set aside to celebrate The Beatles and their music and cultural legacy around the world. Why is GBD June 25? Well, it was on this day in 1967 that the Beatles first premiered their song 'All You Need Is Love'.

Yes it's back, but unless you were very quick you might have missed out because The Beatles In Mono 14 LP box set (out of print since 2014) is already showing as SOLD OUT on both the UK and US official stores. However, there is some confusion as to whether this is just the exclusive pre-order allocation made to subscribers to the The Beatles mailing list.

The entertainment bible, Variety, is reporting at last that there is definite movement on Paul McCartney's on-again, off-again animated children's feature film, High In The Clouds. The magazine says that "Celine Dion, Himesh Patel and Hannah Waddingham will lead the voice cast of High in the Clouds....which Gaumont (“Ballerina”) is producing and repping internationally." "Inspired by the children’s adventure book by…

Well, here's something a bit different. We know that George Harrison was a very keen gardener. There was a beautiful article at the end of 2023 in Country Life magazine on some of the work he did to bring the gardens of his country estate, Friar Park, back to life and the fantastic legacy he left there as those gardens continue to thrive today.

As a first generation Beatle fan who fell hook, line and sinker for the band when they took Australia by storm back in 1964, it constantly amazes how subsequent generations come to hear about and love their music - over and over again. Just take a look at faces in the crowd at any of Paul McCartney's 2024 Got Back…

For some reason publishers in the US seem to want to be different to the rest of the world. Take the recently announced book from the McCartney camp, Wings: The Story of a Band on the Run. Initially there was no cover art ready for the official announcement, but now not one but two different covers have (ahem…

I'm sure most of us have at least a couple of copies of The Beatles Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band in our collections - either on CD, LP, cassette, or all three! But an email today from the folks at eil.com (the UK purveyor of premium quality rare used and new vinyl) got us wondering about which pressing of this LP is…
