An international bestseller compiling contemporary interviews with The Beatles will be re-released to mark its twenty-fifth anniversary.
Amazon listed Anthology as a “25th Anniversary Reissue” and it is slated for release on November 20, 2025. The book is currently listed at £40 for the paperback version, though it is not known if this detail is correct. Previous releases of the book are hardback, coffee table-like releases. A description for the book reads: “The landmark international bestseller ― The Beatles’ own story, in their own words ― reissued on the 25th anniversary of its first publication.
“From their years growing up in Liverpool through their ride to fame to their ultimate breakup, here’s the inside story. Interwoven with The Beatles’ own memories are the recollections of such associates as road manager Neil Aspinall, producer George Martin, and spokesman Derek Taylor. The Beatles Anthology is a once-in-a-lifetime volume: warm, frank, funny, poignant, and bold―just like the music that’s been a part of so many of our lives.
“The Beatles Anthology is, for the first time, the story of The Beatles by The Beatles. Created with the full cooperation of Paul, George, Ringo, and Yoko Ono Lennon, it also includes the words of John, painstakingly compiled from sources worldwide. The Beatles Anthology is, in effect, The Beatles autobiography.
“The Beatles Anthology features over 1300 images, most previously unpublished. Paul, George, Ringo, and Yoko Ono Lennon all opened their own archives just for this project, as did Apple, EMI, and others long associated with The Beatles, allowing the unprecedented release of photographs, documents, and other memorabilia from their homes and offices. The result is an extraordinary wealth of visual material brimming on each and every page.”
The republished Anthology will be 368 pages and is to be published by Chronicle Books. Fans are hopeful the reissue is not the only project from The Beatles this year, with a post to r/Beatles sharing a screenshot of the Amazon listing.
One user wrote: “Well this could be a really positive first sign of the new project if it’s true. The things they will be able to add and update 30 years on to the original to series will be incredible. Bring it on!”
Another added: “I hope this means a new/revised/remastered Documentary/ Music Anthology series is also in the pipeline!” Other users shared their hopes for Lord of the Rings director Peter Jackson to work his magic in the studio on developing a remaster of the documentary.
A user wrote: “I have been praying for a Peter Jackson remaster of the doc for years. You can even add a 9th episode for Beatles history since it originally aired.” Another added: ”
Hopefully they will also re-issue the Anthology vinyl records? They are impossible to find nowadays, especially three.”
