I was 12 and became obsessed with them during the Anthology. My momma begged me to watch it with her. I instantly fell in love the moment In My Life plays. Then seeing the Beatles personalities I couldn’t help but love them.

I wonder when album 4 will be available for preorder..

‘4’ Streaming will be on release day, with the possibility of a few preview tracks before then.
Physically, it seems they’re all only available in box set form so far, with no break-outs (not even 1 - 3).

It appears the book is strictly a re-print of the original I bought in paperback 25 years ago, except the background of the 2000 cover is black rather than gray.
Number of pages identical at 368. Final page:

I’m not interested in getting the book as I already have it. Infact I got it for free because I attended a Beatles Anthology book launch at Waterstones book shop. There was a Kareoke and if you had a good singing voice you got a free copy snd that was me.

woah! That was a $60 freebie you got! I remember bringing my deposit at the of end of summer 2000 to MediaPlay for that book. $60 for a 16 year old then (only had a lawn job) felt like $200.
