Originally released in 2CD volumes in 1995 and 1996, Anthology's three chronological collections of rare and previously unreleased Beatles recordings include studio outtakes and alternate versions. The "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" singles, from Anthology, Volume 1 and Anthology, Volume 2, respectively, were completed in 1995 by George Harrison, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr from 1977 demos recorded by John Lennon.

Upon their original release, Anthology, Volumes 1-3 topped charts and went multi-platinum in several countries around the world. "Free as a Bird" became The Beatles' 34(th) Top 10 hit in the U.S., winning the 1996 GRAMMY® Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal. Anthology, Volume 3 includes "A Beginning," an instrumental orchestral arrangement originally recorded for The Beatles (The White Album).

Anthology, Volumes 1-3 were remastered at Abbey Road Studios by the same team of engineers responsible for The Beatles' GRAMMY-winning 2009 studio album remasters, carefully maintaining the authenticity and integrity of the original analogue recordings. The collections are accompanied by original collage artwork created by Klaus Voormann from classic Beatles imagery.

On December 24, 2015, The Beatles' 13 U.K. studio albums and four essential collections -- Past Masters (Volumes 1 & 2), The Beatles 1962-1966, The Beatles 1967-1970, and The Beatles 1 -- debuted for streaming worldwide.
