New Beatles ‘Anthology' projects will be released this fall
Beatles fans will be feeling some 'real love' for this: New content from the iconic band is coming this fall on screen, in music and in print. 'The Beatles Anthology' will be returning 'in its ultimate form,' according to a release issued Thursday. The famed 1995 'Anthology' music documentary, recounting the band's journey beginning with its Liverpool roots through to its explosive stardom, has been restored and remastered, and will feature a new, ninth episode. It will stream on Disney+ beginning November 26. The ninth episode features behind-the-scenes footage of Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr coming together in 1994-1995 to work on the series and 'reflecting on their shared life as the Beatles.' Giles Martin, son of the late Beatles producer George Martin who died in 2016, has created new audio mixes for the majority of the featured music. New 'Anthology' music will be released on Nov. 21. A fourth album, to be released alongside remastered versions of the first three, includes 13 previously unreleased demos, session recordings and other rare recordings. 'Anthology 4' also includes, according to the release, new mixes of the Beatles' 'Anthology'-related hit singles: 'Free As A Bird' and 'Real Love.' The original 'Free As A Bird' music video has also been restored. The two new mixes come alongside 2023's 'Now And Then,' the last Beatles song. (All three singles were created from home demos that John Lennon, who was killed in 1980 outside the Dakota apartment building, recorded not long before, with vocal and instrumental parts later recorded by Paul, George and Ringo.) A 25th anniversary edition of the Beatles Anthology Book will arrive October 14. In the book, all four Beatles recall the band's journey. They're joined by colleagues including Neil Aspinall, George Martin, Derek Taylor and others. "'The Anthology' was always about their past, but this new edition confirms its enduring place in the present and future,'' the release noted. The 'Anthology' updates come as Beatles fans ready for not one, not two, but four feature films about the band. All directed by Sam Mendes, the films each focus on one Beatle. The lead actors will be Paul Mescal as McCartney, Joseph Quinn as Harrison, Barry Keoghan as Starr and Harris Dickinson as Lennon.

Arne Slot insists Liverpool will only sign the right player for the right price
Since a £110million bid was rejected earlier this month, the club have not returned to negotiations although they have never formally walked away from pursuing a deal. Isak's decision to go public on Tuesday, accusing Newcastle of breaking promises and saying he 'can't continue' and 'change is in the best interests of everyone', has intensified speculation about the striker's future. Liverpool have been interested in signing Newcastle striker Alexander Isak (Martin Rickett/PA) Newcastle's response was to stress: 'We have been clear that the conditions of a sale this summer have not transpired. We do not foresee those conditions being met.' It adds extra spice for when the two teams meet at St James' Park on Monday, with Isak expected to absent again as he continues to train away from the squad. 'I am happy with the squad but if we think there is a player who can really make us better then this club has always shown they can bring them in,' said Slot, who has already benefited from a £300million-plus spending spree this summer, offset by more than £200m of sales. 'But it needs to be everything we want: right transfer fee, right position and the player wants to come to us. Isak is training on his own at Newcastle (Owen Humphreys/PA) 'I don't think (it will be a busy end to the window) because (that would mean) I would be unhappy with the squad and I am happy with the squad. 'I say two players for each positions is ideal, but sometimes less is more so you are not disappointing players.' Slot rejected the suggestion their trip to the north east would be made easier by Isak's absence and the turmoil surrounding the club. 'I don't think they are a club with troubles,' he added. Slot expects a tough contest against Newcastle (Peter Byrne/PA) 'I assume Isak is not playin but they still have Anthony Gordon as a nine, they have Anthony Elanga as a right winger and Harvey Barnes from the left – and Jacob Murphy is not even playing. 'This is the Premier League, we all have a lot of options and Newcastle have them as well.' However, Slot's options have been reduced at right-back with new signing Jeremie Frimpong ruled out until after next month's international break with a hamstring injury sustained in their opening victory over Bournemouth. 'The medical team were completely right about Jeremie to tell me that I had to take him off because he is out until the end of the international break and that happened during the game,' he said. 'I think I got criticised a bit for taking him off, didn't I?' Jeremie Frimpong has been sidelined with a hamstring injury (John Walton/PA) Joe Gomez was pressed into action for 18 minutes despite having had just two training sessions after three weeks out with injury and as a result was not able to train three days in a row afterwards. He could still be in contention at Newcastle, with Conor Bradley, named in Northern Ireland's squad for next month's games, only returning to training himself on Thursday. 'At the moment we only have two injuries, but unfortunately it is two in the same position,' said Slot. 'The good thing is we have other players that can play there. Wataru Endo played there for a few minutes, Dominik Szoboszlai has already played there. There are other options we can explore.'
