Background

Anthology Volume 2 is pretty much a mirror image of Volume 1 in that it has the other brand new Beatles song Real Love. Real Love was a demo John Lennon had done in the late '70's, and in 1995 the tape was given to Paul, George, and Ringo by Yoko Ono to be made into a finished song. Real Love, like it's predecessor Free As A Bird, suffers from poor sound quality of the demo tape. This was a big job for Jeff Lynne and the other Beatles to work through, but they seemed to have pulled it off as good as can be expected.


Anthology Volume 2 boasts more of the same unreleased music and alternate takes than Volume 1, with Volume 2 dealing with the years 1965-1968. Songs like If You've Got Trouble, which was slated for the Help! album as Ringo's only song; 12 Bar Original, an instrumental recorded during the sessions for Rubber Soul, and That Means A Lot which was also slated for the Help! album but wasn't used. Also on Anthology Volume 2 are different takes of various songs from that period such as Strawberry Fields Forever and I'm Only Sleeping, as well as live appearances.
