The Beatles: „Now And Then““ am 02.11., dazu „Beatles Rot“ und „Beatles Blau“ neu und erweitert

Die Beatles veröffentlichen ihre Alben „1962-1966“ („Das rote Album“) und „1967-1970“ („Das blaue Album“) am 10. November neu – und erweitert. Die neue Single „Now And Then“, der allerletzte Song der Beatles, kommt am 02. November. 

„Now And Then“ erscheint weltweit am Donnerstag, den 02. November 2023, um 15 Uhr MEZ. Die Doppel-A-Seiten-Single vereint neben dem finalen Song der Beatles auch die allererste Veröffentlichung – „Love Me Do“, jene Debütsingle, die im Jahr 1962 in Großbritannien erschien. Bereits am 01. November 2023 (20:30 Uhr) feiert ein 12-minütiger Dokumentarfilm mit dem Titel „Now And Then – The Last Beatles Song“ auf YouTube Premiere.

Die Neuauflagen von „1962-1966“ („Das rote Album“) und „1967-1970“ („Das blaue Album“) erscheinen neu abgemischt in 4-CD- und 6-LP-Editionen (180 Gramm), aber nur im Beatles-Shop, und vereinen das „rote“ und das „blaue Album“ im Slipcase-Design (Schuber). Die regulären Versionen erscheinen im „normalen“ Handel. Während die UK-Singleversion von „Love Me Do“ nun als Eröffnungssong von „1962-1966“ (2023 Edition) dient, hat die erweiterte Version von „1967-1970“ (2023 Edition)  „Now And Then“ als Aufmacher.
