The Last Rarity

Paul McCartney has finished working with John Lennon’s extremely rare song “Now And Then”, and in the nearest time plans to make it public, said ContactMusic. This song was written by John Lennon in 1978, but for some reason he was not able to record it before his death in 1980, so it existed only in the demo version. In 1995 Lennon’s widow Yoko Ono had decided to give this practically unknown record, plus some others including “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love” to his former bandmates while they were working with The Beatle’s “Anthology”. Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr have finished their parts in “Free As A Bird” and “Real Love”, and later included them into “The Beatles” album, but “Now And Then” remained unfinished due to some internal factions. During the last two years McCartney had finally ended up working with this song, also incorporating what was made up by the rest of his collegues. If “Now And Then” will see the light then it should be the first song since 1996 basically created by The Beatles, and practically the last rarity that still remains unreleased. “Real Love” which was part of the “Anthology” (1996) seemed to be the end line, but let’s wait for “Now And Then”.
