The Beatles\u00a0<\/strong>released the 60-track compilation album\u00a0<\/span>Anthology 1,\u00a0<\/span><\/em>featuring rarities, outtakes and live performances recorded from 1958 to 1964.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n

It also included the first new Beatles song in 25 years, \u201cFree as a Bird,\u201d which featured audio from a\u00a0John Lennon\u00a0<\/strong>demo he recorded in 1977. It was given to\u00a0Paul McCartney<\/strong>,\u00a0George Harrison\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Ringo Starr\u00a0<\/strong>by his widow,\u00a0Yoko Ono<\/strong>,\u00a0<\/strong>and the trio then recorded new music that was incorporated into the song.<\/span><\/p>\n
