First released three decades ago, The Beatles’ eight-part “Anthology” series reinvented the music documentary and presented the definitive story of the Fab Four, told in their own words. Now, “The Beatles Anthology” returns in its ultimate form for a comprehensive global release campaign — on screen, on record, and in print.
To celebrate, The Beatles Channel (Ch. 18) presents two new, exclusive specials premiering over the next few months that provide unique insights and expert commentary on the expanded “Anthology” music collections, taking listeners through the band’s legendary journey that began in Liverpool and captivated the world.
