Indie Exclusive Blue & White Marble 7" Vinyl

A powerful musical bookend to The Beatles’ recorded canon, this double-A side 7" single for “Now And Then” and “Love Me Do” pairs the last Beatles song with their first. “Now And Then” was written and demoed by John Lennon in the mid/late ‘70s. With Lennon’s voice now pristine in the mix, “Now And Then” features elements from the 1995 sessions, including George Harrison’s guitar parts, and vocal and instrumental parts recorded by Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr in 2022, along with a new arrangement for strings. Produced by Paul and Giles Martin, “Now And Then” is the last song recorded by all four of The Beatles, a powerful and fitting finale for the band’s timeless recordings.

The song that started it all, “Love Me Do,” was The Beatles’ first UK single in 1962. For the first time, the iconic song has been de-mixed using machine-aided learning, then remixed in true stereo.

The songs are also featured on the expanded 2023 editions of 1962-1966 (The Red Album) and 1967-1970 (The Blue Album), and the 6-LP Box Set.
