Beatles – Anthology, Soundtrack to the Disney+ Series, Episodes 1-6 +7-9

BEATLES

Beatles – Anthology, Soundtrack to the Disney+ Series, Episodes 1-6 + 7-9

The Anthology Soundtrack accompanying the Disney+ series is a collector’s dream: a carefully sequenced journey through the Beatles’ formative years and their mid‑period flowering, presented across two discs with mixes drawn from the most recent remaster campaigns. Rather than a simple “best of,” this set functions as a living archive, weaving together studio classics, BBC performances, and alternate mixes to mirror the narrative arc of Episodes 1–6.

CD1 captures the raw energy of the early 1960s. Familiar cornerstones like “Love Me Do,” “She Loves You,” and “I Want to Hold Your Hand” appear in fresh 2023 mixes, their clarity revealing new details in harmonies and rhythm sections. The inclusion of rarities such as “Some Other Guy” from the BBC and the 2021 mix of “One After 909” underscores the band’s roots in live performance and their restless drive to refine material. The sequencing moves briskly from Merseybeat exuberance (“Twist and Shout”) to tender balladry (“This Boy”), offering a portrait of a group simultaneously conquering charts and honing craft.

CD2 shifts into the mid‑period, where experimentation and sophistication take center stage. Tracks like “Help!,” “Norwegian Wood,” and “Taxman” showcase the band’s expanding palette, while “Tomorrow Never Knows” and “Strawberry Fields Forever” mark the leap into studio innovation. The mixes span 2009 remasters, 2015 and 2017 stereo updates, and Giles Martin’s 2015 rework, ensuring consistency while highlighting sonic milestones. The flow from “Day Tripper” to “A Day in the Life” is particularly striking, tracing the Beatles’ evolution from pop craftsmen to avant‑garde pioneers.

As a whole, this soundtrack is less about nostalgia than about rediscovery. By aligning remastered fidelity with documentary storytelling, it invites listeners to hear the Beatles anew—raw, inventive, and endlessly surprising. For collectors, it’s a definitive bridge between archival rigor and modern presentation, a soundtrack that honors history while keeping the music vibrantly alive. (B)

  8. I think i have enough Beatles in my collection yet. I'd like to ask you for a collection of brasilian music that i can't find in the net, if this don't bother you being done here in comments. Tell me if that's the case and i won't do it again. Here the link to the first vol. Collection consisting in 3 volumes. https://www.discogs.com/es/release/3307364-Various-Hearts-Of-Stone

  9. This collection represents a corner stone of my favourite music from my youth years. Thank you very much BB for your efforts in offering good music in excellent quality.

  10. I have always been amazed, and still am of the rapidity of growth and development by The Beatles over the relatively short time of their existence (1963-70). In those short years they progressed from the rudimentary music on their first album through to the sophistication of Abbey Road, passing through on the way the wondrous Revolver period. This collection, played without reference to order is a delightful confirmation of their path to maturity, juxtaposing as it does, early tracks with later music. A really refreshing listen. Thank you Butterboy for making these sets available. Regards to you and wishing you a joyous Christmas and peaceful New Year. Let 2026 bring as much great music as the dying 2025.

  12. Thanks BB! Even though I have all these spread out through my hard drive, I’m a sucker for all things Beatles and can’t resist downloading. Looking forward to getting into those Christmas Blues as well.
