"new" beatles album to drop in november

The album, which is out on November 20, will be released in a CD/DVD format and will contain 78 minutes of 'new' Beatles material.

In a statement, Paul McCartney said: "This album puts The Beatles back together again, because suddenly there's John and George with me and Ringo."

Ringo Starr added: "George and Giles did such a great job combining these tracks. It's really powerful for me and I even heard things I'd forgotten we'd recorded."

This could prove quite interesting, but probably won't yield any major revelations for serious collectors or owners of the Anthology discs. Perhaps we'll hear some nicely restored versions of previously bootlegged recordings.
