McCartney home-demoed “Goodbye,” written for Welsh pop singer Mary Hopkin “Teddy Boy,” which nearly made the final album and was put in a different form on Anthology 3 and McCartney in April 1970. Lennon worked on “Black Dog Blues,” while his “Give Me Some Truth (Gimme Some Truth)” and “Oh My Love” were later released more polished forms on Imagine in 1971. At a normal royalty rate for this figure, the return could well come to about $8 million.įans may hope for more hearings of the full rock and roll medley such as “Shake Rattle And Roll” and dozens of originals recorded at the time. 1 in many charts, suggesting platinum figures of 500,000 or more. The lucrative nature of the CD releases is all too clear because of their prices, from about $25 up to $145. As for timing, Callaway Arts & Entertainment has a book being published called The Beatles: Get Back which is scheduled for October 6. A fully restored cut of the original Let It Be movie directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg is also due “at a later date.” While there is no official comment, it would be unlikely that the releases would not come with a bumper box set, quite possibly in time for the holiday-season sales. With coronavirus, a release date earlier may not make commercial sense and it would follow the pattern seen in September 2016 with Live at the Hollywood Bowl, the album timed to coincide with the Ron Howard documentary The Beatles: Eight Days a Week. We now know the film is titled The Beatles: Get Back and is coming from Disney in September. On that day, The Lord Of The Rings film director Peter Jackson said that he was working on a documentary about the album.
In January this year, expectation grew on the half-century anniversary of the Beatles’ final public performance. John Lennon made various attempts to resurrect the planned album – he was fond of the cover photo, later used for the compilation 1967-1970 – while McCartney had a stab at salvaging the original with Let It Be…. It stalled amid in-fighting and the tapes were given to the producer Phil Spector who smothered some songs with strings. Most Fab Four aficionados will know that the project was originally entitled Get Back.
There were 55 hours of original footage shot for the movie of the same name and 140 hours of audio recordings. Fans have long expected that the revised Let It Be would be due around May, 2020 - along with a generous helping of extras. All were remastered by Giles Martin, son of the original producer George Martin, with many unreleased tracks. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band came in May 2017 The Beatles (best known as The White Album) in November 2018 and Abbey Road in September 2019.
The last three years have been lucrative for the group, with the 50 th-year reissues of its most popular LPs, all coming near the exact anniversary of the originals.
