The fall of 1995 witnessed a resurgence of the power- ful cultural phenomenon 'Beatlemania.' This recur-rence was sparked by the release of the first new recordings by The Beatles in decades made possible by Paul George and Ringo laying down tracks over an existing vocal track John had recorded. 'Free as a Bird' is one of these new tunes and it premiered to millions in a network TV special on the band. There was a two-volume retrospective CD set released in conjunction with this special and these songbooks feature selections from the The Beatles Anthology Volumes I II and III. Volume I includes 'Free As A Bird' and 26 more Beatles classics: Can't Buy Me Love · From Meto You · A Hard Day's Night · Hello Little Girl · I Want to Hold Your Hand · Love Me Do · Money · Please Please Me · She Loves You · Twist and Shout · You Really Got a Hold on Me · You'll Be Mine · and more.
