NOW AND THEN

Submitted by ub on

Here comes the song and meet The Beatles “Now and Then,” This is an updated recording produced and made available with AI.

This song was originally recorded in 1970 as a demonstration by John Lennon and has now been cleaned up with audio-enhancing technology. This moment is one that means so much to me and my grandson, Parker. He is young and yet, this amazing band from the 70s gave the universe a "last" taste of their magic that has touched many in ways that no others have.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AW55J2zE3N4

The Beatles are our favorite band, and that i am having the privilege to talk to him and share my stories is a feeling that I will always cherish. Thanks to the Fab Four - John, Paul, George and Ringo and also to the FAB TWO - My intelligent , beautiful and delightful Natasha and my handsome son-in-law Charlie.

Back to The Beatles - Now and Then. It is an eventful journey to fruition that took place over five decades and is the product of conversations and collaborations between the four Beatles that go on to this day. The long mythologized John Lennon demo was first worked on in February 1995 by Paul, George, and Ringo as part of The Beatles Anthology project but it remained unfinished, partly because of the impossible technological challenges involved in working with the vocal John had recorded on tape in the 1970s.

For years it looked like the song could never be completed. But in 2022 there was a stroke of serendipity. A software system developed by Peter Jackson and his team used throughout the production of the documentary series Get Back, finally opened the way for the uncoupling of John’s vocals from his piano part. As a result, the original recording could be brought to life and worked on anew with contributions from all four Beatles.

This remarkable story of musical archaeology reflects The Beatles’ endless creative curiosity and shared fascination with technology. It marks the completion of the last recording that John, Paul George, and Ringo will get to make together and celebrates the legacy of the foremost and most influential band in popular music history.

Chances are, “Now and Then” will receive much more attention and a greater hearing now than it would get back then, as the third and final reunion track from “The Threetles,” the name the British press bestowed upon McCartney, Starr, and George Harrison. Then, it would’ve been old news. Now, it’s intended as an event, through the long and winding road and an artistic farewell to the most beloved group of the rock ’n’ roll era... The Beatles.
