Documentary series

Approximately coinciding with the release of the \"Free as a Bird\" single and Anthology 1 album (the first of three double-CD albums), The Beatles Anthology series of documentaries was broadcast on ITV in the United Kingdom and ABC television in the United States in 1995. The Anthology series was assembled in the same way that the book was, as a series of first-person accounts by the Beatles themselves. The Anthology series is done the same way, with V.O. recordings of all four Beatles to push the narrative of the story. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison are also shown in interview segments filmed for the series itself, while Lennon is seen through archival interview footage.

The series, which was made over five years of planning and production (1,760 minutes), assembled numerous film clips and interviews to present a complete history of the band from the Beatles' own personal perspectives. The series was later released on VHS, laserdisc and as a boxed set of five DVDs.

Albums

To accompany the Anthology series, three double music albums were released, each containing two CDs of never-before-released Beatles material.

Two days after the first television special in the series had aired, Anthology 1 was released to stores, and included music recorded by The Quarrymen, the famous Decca Records audition tapes, and various out-takes and demos from the band's first four albums. It also included the song \"Lend Me Your Comb\", omitted from the collection 'Live at the BBC', released the previous year (1994). The song \"Free as a Bird\" was included at the very start. 450,000 copies of Anthology 1 were sold in its first day of release, the most sales for an album in a single day ever. The Beatles' original drummer Pete Best, fired by the band in 1962 before they hit it big, received his first substantial Beatles royalties from this album, for the inclusion of early tracks on which he played. (The courtesy did not extend to the cover art - an early group photo in the cover collage featured a strategically-placed rip, revealing the image of Ringo Starr in place of Best.)
