Story & Background
"Beatles Anthology 2" is famous not only for the vast collection of outtakes and alternative versions that illuminate the creative genius of the Fab Four between 1965 and 1968, but above all for having presented the unreleased single "Real Love" to the world.
After the success of "Free as a Bird" on Anthology 1, the three surviving Beatles (Paul, George and Ringo) reunited in 1995 to work on another demo left unfinished by John Lennon, recorded on cassette in his apartment at the Dakota Building in New York in 1979. Jeff Lynne of ELO, already producer of "Free as a Bird", was again called upon to clean up the original tape, afflicted by hums and poor recording quality, to isolate John's voice and piano. The three added new instrumental and vocal tracks, transforming the raw demo into a finished track that, while retaining the intimate Lennonian essence, resonated with the completeness and sonic magic typical of The Beatles, giving the public the emotion of hearing the band reunited after decades. This posthumous reassembly represents a technological and artistic miracle, which allowed four friends to record once again, beyond time and space, for their fans all over the world.
