There is a fascinating "what if?" story behind Anthology 3 . Following the success of the "new" Beatles singles "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" on the first two anthologies, a third demo by John Lennon, titled "Now and Then," was slated to be completed for this album. However, George Harrison reportedly deemed the track "rubbish," and technical difficulties with the demo's fidelity led to its shelving. It would remain unfinished until 2023, when AI technology allowed Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr to finally release it as "the last Beatles song." Its absence on Anthology 3 is a notable, and initially disappointing, footnote in the album's history. The 1996 2CD release of The Beatles Anthology
