How did the story of “Now and Then” come about?
The story of “Now and Then” begins in the late 1970s, when John recorded a demo with vocals and piano at his home in the Dakota Building in New York. In 1994, his wife, Yoko Ono Lennon, gave the recording to Paul, George and Ringo, as well as John’s demos of “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love”, which were completed as new Beatles songs and released, respectively. As singles in 1995 and 1996, being part of the project Beatles Anthology.
At the same time, Paul, George and Ringo also recorded new parts and completed a rough mix for ‘Now and later’ With producer Jeff Lynne. At the time, technological limitations prevented John’s voice from being separated from the piano to achieve the clear, clean mix needed to finish the song. Now and Then was shelved, with the hope that it would one day be revisited.
Some time later, in 2021, the documentary series The Beatles: Get Back was released, directed by Peter Jackson, which amazed viewers with its award-winning film and sound restoration.

In 2022, Paul and Ringo set out to complete the song. In addition to John’s voice, ‘Now and later’ Includes electric and acoustic guitar recorded in 1995 by George, Ringo’s new drum part, bass, guitar and piano by Paul, which matches John’s original performance. Paul added a guitar solo inspired by George. He and Ringo also contributed backing vocals to the choir.

Paul and Giles also added a wonderful final touch: choruses from the original recordings of “Here, There and Everywhere,” “Eleanor Rigby” and “Because,” woven into the new song using techniques refined during the making of the show and series.
