Now And Then: You heard it here first, last year! [Posted by Dave Haber on Wednesday, 04/02/08 6:30 am] [Permalink] [Digg This]
It's all over the news today. Sources say that the last unfinished John Lennon track could see the light of day soon. Called Now And Then, the new track was unearthed with Real Love and Free As A Bird during the Fab Four's Anthology series in the 1990s.
These new reports of the rumor don't add much more information to our original report, other than that this new track may be released as tribute to Norman Smith, who passed away last month.
An "insider" is quoted as saying, "There have been discussions about finishing Now And Then. It would be quite a task. The process of re-recording the two tracks that charted was fairly painless because the songs were almost complete. Now And Then will need a significant amount more work to get it into a condition where it could be released."

Now and Then leaked to YouTube? [Posted by Dave Haber on Saturday, 01/12/08 12:14 am] [Permalink] [Digg This]
Now, observant fans have discovered that a video of a "new" version of the song Now and Then, not the John Lennon demo, has been uploaded to YouTube:
While I must stress that there is absolutely no way to tell what this is or where it came from, and whether or not it is the actual new version of the song that's rumored to be released sometime soon, I must say I personally think it does really does sound like a John Lennon demo given the same treatment they gave to Real Love and Free As A Bird in 1995.
Check it out and decide for yourself.
Rumor: New Beatles track coming in '08 [Posted by Dave Haber on Wednesday, 12/26/07 10:02 am] [Permalink] [Digg This]
An unnamed reliable source tells us that there is a new Beatles song on the horizon!
It is called "Now and Then", and reportedly has been finished and waiting to be released since at least May of 2007, or even possibly earlier than that. Some are guessing that this could be a "bonus" track for the new Beatles digital downloads that are supposed to be happening sometime in 2008.
Sometimes we learn more from what people are not saying than what they are saying. Sources closer to the Beatles refuse to talk about a track called Now and Then, and recently Ringo has refused to comment on the question of Beatles bonus material. In addition, there were remarks recently on a French website, regarding the release of new material to allow extension of copyrights in Europe. So, something definitely seems to be up.
