The Beatles Now and Then 45rpm 7" Vinyl Single (Light Blue Vinyl)

Together and apart, The Beatles have always had a talent for the unexpected. And now, 2023 brings one of the most anticipated releases of their long and endlessly eventful history. "Now and Then" is the last Beatles song – written and sung by John Lennon, developed and worked on by Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr, and now finally finished by Paul and Ringo over four decades later.

The Beatles' double-A-side single for "Now and Then" and "Love Me Do" pairs the last Beatles song with the band's first UK single. Powerful musical bookends to The Beatles' recorded canon, both songs are also featured in the expanded 2023 Editions for 1962-1966 ('The Red Album') and 1967-1970 ('The Blue Album').

"Now and Then" is the last Beatles song, written and demoed by John Lennon in the mid/late 1970s. With John'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 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 and remixed in true stereo. "Love Me Do" launched The Beatles' journey to unparalleled worldwide success and acclaim that continues to this day.
