Análisis - Product Description
Deleted in the U.S.! The only other single besides 'Real Love' taken from the Fab Four 's 1995 collection 'Anthology' (Volume 1). It's backed with three non-album tracks, 'I Saw Her Standing There' (Studio Take Nine), 'This Boy' (Alternate Take) and 'Christmas Time Is Here Again'. This was the first 'reunion' track to feature the three remaining members voices electronically overdubbed to John Lennon's original vocals. EMI. 1995.

As others has pointed out, the 3 volumed Beatles Anthology sets didn't include all they could have (particularly the 1st 2 volumes). Since there are 3 tracks not on any of the Anthology CD's, this is worth collecting (it's too bad this and the Real Love CD were discontinued in the USA).

The "new" Beatles song actually evolved from a 1977 John Lennon demo and the other 3 added their musical contributions onto it. There is a demo of "I Saw Her Standing There" (the entire 9th take). There are 2 takes of "This Boy," which feature John and Paul giggling during vocal snafu's! Finally, there is the complete musical version of the Beatles' "Christmas Time (Is Here Again)," taken from their 1967 Christmas record (with individual Christmas greetings from Paul, John, George and Ringo from the previous year). George Martin plays "Auld Lang Syne" on the organ as John recites a Christmas poem.

Included on the cover is John Lennon's unique artwork.

- FREE AS A BIRD

Well, I personaly think that if anybody has the right to go back and get old Lennon demo tapes and use them to make good songs it would definatly be Paul, George and Ringo. I mean just listen to "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" they're great. I'm just sad that they didn't remake "Grow Old With Me" for 'Anthology 3' like they were suppose to.

The Fab 3 managed to enhance John's basic track without destroying its simplicity, its delicacy, or its beauty. The song is one of the most ethereal, mystical, spiritual, soul-grabbing, life-yearning songs ever to be born. It must be, to make me use words like mystical and soul and spiritual; me being the total heathen that I am. One of the best Beatle songs of all.

- What a treat!

This is such a joy to hear! I'm glad that the producers decided to put these tracks on a single instead of back in the vaults. Tracks 2 and 3 are a great insight into recording sessions for "This Boy" and "I Saw Her Standing There" . "Christmas Time is Here Again" is a great nonsense song from the Christmas fan club discs that have yet to see a reissue. Even though it's only 4 tracks, it is worth the money for these rare performances. RECOMMENDED!

Lennon sure was alive during this recording..... Still after 30 years of Beatle music you'll never get tired of hearing this!
