Anthology Collection (2025 Edition): 12LP Boxset

De Anthology Collection 12LP-set bevat de drie baanbrekende Anthology albums uit het midden van de jaren 90, geremasterd in 2025 door Giles Martin, plus een nieuwe compilatie, Anthology 4. Met 191 nummers onthullen de studio-outtakes, live-optredens, uitzendingen en demo's van de collectie de muzikale ontwikkeling van The Beatles van 1958 tot de laatste single 'Now And Then' die in 2023 werd uitgebracht. 

Anthology 4 bevat 13 eerder niet uitgebrachte nummers en 17 nummers geselecteerd uit Super Deluxe-versies van vijf klassieke albums. Naast fascinerende outtakes uit de periode 1963 tot 1969 bevat het album nieuwe 2025-mixen van Jeff Lynne van 'Free As A Bird' en 'Real Love'.
Bovendien Anthology 4 presenteert 26 nummers die nog nooit eerder op vinyl zijn uitgebracht.
 
Geperst op 180g zwart vinyl, wordt elk 3LP-album geleverd in een driedubbele gatefold-hoes, met de originele artwork, hoesteksten van Mark Lewisohn en gerestaureerde foto's voor Anthology 1-3; Anthology 4 heeft gloednieuwe hoesteksten geschreven door Kevin Howlett, samen met foto's. De buitenste slipcase toont de originele Klaus Voorman-drieluik-artwork en een 3/4 O-Card-afbeelding van de band met gedetailleerde tracklist.
