Paul McCartney revealed that 2023 will finally see the release of the third, unfinished 1990’s Beatles reunion track. Between February 1994 and March 1995, McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr — along with producer Jeff Lynne — spent four sessions attempting to flesh out John Lennon‘s 1978 bare-bones demo of “Now And Then” — along with the eventually released reunion songs “Free As A Bird,” and “Real Love” as part of 1995’s The Beatles Anthology project.

The trio eventually abandoned “Now And Then,” due in large part to a persistent buzz found on the demo tape that couldn’t be erased. Lennon’s demo — also alternatively known as “I Don’t Want To Lose You” and “Miss You” — has been available on the underground circuit for years.
