This release comes just days after the release of the single “Now and Then”, proclaimed by the Beatles as their “last song”, which artificial intelligence made possible by recovering the voice of the late John Lennon from a demo that he he recorded before he died.
The reissues of Red and Blue, which for generations have served as a gateway to the music of the Liverpool quartet, will contain a total of 75 songs, from their first single, “Love Me Do”, to the aforementioned “Now and Then ”.
In recent years, several songs from both musical stages have been remixed for this release.
Among the songs that from now on are incorporated into the repertoire of this Beatles selection and that did not previously appear are “I Saw Her Standing There”, “This Boy”, “Roll Over Beethoven”, “You Can’t Do That”, “Taxman” or “If I Needed Someone”, in the Rojo, and “Within You Without You”, “Dear Prudence”, “Hey Bulldog”, “Oh! Darling”, “I Want You (She She She’s So Heavy)” or “I Me Mine”, in the Blue.
