Excellent single

In 1995 and 1996, The Beatles Anthology set was released. This was a six disc set (three volumes of two discs), and it featured a plethora of rare tracks. Among the tracks on the sets were two old John Lennon demos which the remaining members of the band got together to finish - Free as a Bird and Real Love. Read on for my review of the former single.

The title track here is John Lennon as you knew and loved him. It's just a shame this little rarity didn't surface earlier! But, the surviving band members' new touches to the song make it nothing short of excellent. Furthermore, the single includes some rare B-Sides! First and foremost, you get early demos of the classics I Saw Her Standing There and This Boy. But the biggest rarity of all is the final track - Christmas Time (Is Here Again.) It's simply insulting that these tracks weren't included in the actual Anthology, because they are great!

The Free as a Bird and Real Love singles have been discontinued in America, but if you're a Beatle maniac, I recommend hunting them down, as the rare tracks make them a worthwhile purchase.

Good CD

This is a great Beatles CD. Possibly the best ever. Don't miss it.
