Lockdown Playlists coming over the next couple of weeks as special albums and people come into focus. As The Beatles’ Anthology 1 was released on 21st November, 1995, I am putting together a playlist with some rarer album tracks, outtakes and those lesser-known tracks. Anthology 1 was released as part of The Beatles Anthology series. It features rarities, outtakes, and live performances from the period 1958–1964, including songs with original bass player Stuart Sutcliffe and drummer Pete Best. It is the first in a trilogy of albums with Anthology 2 and Anthology 3, all of which tie in with the televised special, The Beatles Anthology. I think the first Anthology was a lot of people’s inroad to The Beatles as a band, so the release and its anniversary is pretty important. To honour that, this playlist includes some great tracks that do not get played much, are not overly-known and, for the most part, people would not necessarily seek out - but they are intriguing and worthy. I hope that this Anthology 1-inspiored playlist…
