If Anthology 2 was a study of how Beatles’ songs came together, Anthology 3 is a study of how the Beatles themselves came apart. In the band's final phase, Paul was an unabashed pop balladeer, John a sneering pop humorist and experimenter, and George a separate songwriting force waiting to be unleashed. But the demos, rehearsals and outtakes that make up Anthology 3 are brilliant anyway. John's early run-through of "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" is literally bits and pieces--three melodic ideas crammed together, not yet including what would become the song's chorus. There are acoustic demos of two of Paul’s songs; the gorgeous "Junk," which eventually showed up on his first solo album, and "The Long And Winding Road"--the same performance that appeared on Let It Be, but without the strings that were added against his will. According to Rolling Stone "...This is warm, intimate music making, a rare close-up of the Beatles in private, creative ferment....The energy and imagination that the Beatles brought to the basics of rock & roll are all over Anthology 3....this is history and music to be treasured..."

Anthology 3 consists of demos and outtakes from The Beatles (The White Album), Let It Be and Abbey Road, recorded between May, 1968, and January, 1970. The liner notes are by Derek Taylor.
