Anthology 2 (1996) Anthology 3 (1996) Yellow Submarine Songtrack (1999)

The Beatles' Anthology 3 was released in October 1996, and includes rarities and alternative tracks from the final two years of their career as a band ranging from the initial sessions for the The Beatles (The White Album) through to the last sessions for Let It Be and Abbey Road in later 1969. On the cover, an updated picture of Klaus Voorman can be seen in George's hair in the Revolver cover section. A third John Lennon solo demo entitled "Now and Then", patched up by the three surviving Beatles, was supposed to be released on the album, but was decided against because a buzzing noise could not be removed from the recording.

Billy Preston can be heard on some tracks, including "I've Got a Feeling".
