THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY

The BBC, and United States ABC television present mini-series special. The special would been seen in 94 different countries.

George Harrison: "It's difficult when four people are telling a story 'cause it's...it's actually four different stories. I mean, you must realize it's got to be somewhat of a compromise when four people are involved. But we're trying to just say how felt to us."

Derek Taylor: "The Beatles Anthology is a collection of reminiscences by the individual members of the Beatles including John."

Paul McCartney (reaction to the recording): "At first a couple of pundits were kind of saying "They shouldn't attempt this", so it was really nice when we got the idea to try and take a 'John track' because it was much more satisfying. It was like, "Oh, John's goanna be there! Oh, thank God for that! It's goanna be all right now...we're all together again." Once we got that part of the equation, it was actually very easy and joyous. It was really a good laugh. We had a laugh with each other, and it was really good to reunite and to see your old mates again and to be making music together."

Rumors of a "Beatle Tour?"

Paul responds (taken from Canadian broadcast with Dick Bartley - "Beatles '95"): "I don't think so. You know, we've had like a major humongous offer from America to do ten dates across the country and the money is just ridiculous - you know, it's like scandalous! But to me with the three of us on our own isn't as exciting as the four of us and seeing that the Beatles were always four and people will say: "Why wouldn't you get Julian or Sean to sort of help or something" it's still not the same. The Beatles was the Beatles. The minute you got two of them or three of them, it's not the Beatles."
