Paul, George, and Ringo first worked on Now And Then – the almost mythological John Lennon demo – in 1995, for the Anthology project, but shelved it due to technological limitations which prevented them from cleanly extracting John’s vocals from a 1970s-era tape. Then, in 2022, the software application used by Peter Jackson on the Get Back documentary finally made it possible to isolate those vocals properly.
Jackson’s short film covers the process of bringing the original recording back to life with contributions from all four Beatles – making this the very last recording that John, Paul, George and Ringo will get to make together.
Love, Dr. Scott James
