Beatles Anthology Collection 4 (2025)

Attention Wealthy Beatles Fans (TM)! How do you feel about 13 tracks? No, not “of whack”, as Walter Becker might have presented us, while he was still alive anyway. But rather, 13 tracks of unearthed Beatles demos & takes, nearly all of which are pure gems, now available on “Anthology 4”.   Awesome, yes? Now, how do you feel about spending $74 for a deluxe vinyl package (excuse me? SIR?) with 36 tracks of whack. Does it make you feel better to know that you’re spending that hard earned cash on 36% “new” material, and; coincidentally, (Beatles) ’64% of music you already bought on previous deluxe reissues? Good news, because as the Fat Boys once sang, “Baby you’re a rich man, too!”   Look, we like to joke around at the UBP, it’s what makes us Apple’s only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD). OF COURSE we’re grateful for “new” Beatles goodies we’ve never heard before. Early takes of “Tell Me Why”! “Every Little Thing!” “In My Life”! Surely, “A4” has been curated for both the die-hard and casual Beatles fan, yes? What’s that? Oh you were expecting a “Yes, and?” Well we love improv, too. It’s our water, our oxygen, our physical fitness. In fact, improv is what makes us The Second City’s only legally/emotionally authorized Beatles podcast (TBD).   So not only do Tony & T.J. begin to deep dish “Anthology 4: Less Faster But Even More Furious”, but they yes and themselves into veritable Don knots over:   🎱🛤️ Is T.J. forcing Tony to repeatedly listen to “Reel Music” on 8-track tape considered “trafficking”, “torture”, or “a healthy 2026 resolution”?   👏 What kind of big-production, expensive, show-stopping finale does Producer Casey have planned for today’s episode?   🥗 If Tony is Statler, and T.J. is Waldorf, does that make P3Z-Nutz “Salad”? And like anything sent to Ringo after the 20th of October, will said salad be tossed?   EPISODE LINKS Like and subscribe! Please support our scrappy show.
