From the must-have label for Beatles fans, the Alternate Series, a newly revised version of the 2026 "Anthology," is now available. This first installment, "Anthology 1: Alternates," kicks off with a newly remixed version of "Free as a Bird," and features the two oldest surviving tracks, "That'll Be the Day" and "Inspite of All Danger," in true stereo. The Decca audition recording, originally in mono, has also been upgraded to clear, true stereo. The demo recordings, which attracted attention at auctions, have also been upgraded in quality. Furthermore, all BBC recordings have been recreated in true stereo, and most of the numerous recording sessions have been recorded in a different stereo demix from the originals. Not only is the sound quality different, but the editing is also different, resulting in a recording closer to the master, making the differences clear when compared. Additionally, the album features upgraded audio material, including five live tracks from the July 1964 "Blackpool Night Out" performance, recorded in high-quality stereo demixes. Also included is a rare rehearsal recording of the October 1964 TV show "Shindig!", featuring a fragmented rendition of "House of the Morning Sun." The live performance itself is now even clearer and more powerful. This 2026 compilation features all new masters, including the original recordings. It also includes a selection of previously unreleased, rare, and unedited audio, including unedited versions with different sound sources from the originals, alternative mixes, and even real stereo audio created using the latest AI demixing technology.
