Discography
Anthology 2
Notes
The second album off the Anthology project, Anthology 2 spans from the closure of Beatlemania to the psychedelic years.
Anthology 2 again starts with the second new song, "Real Love". As second film and fifth album, Help!, was finished, the Beatles started to experiment with their music a little bit. The recording sessions of Rubber Soul and Revolver marked how the Beatles evolved popular music to a new area. Such as the Eastern influence on "Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)" and the ground-breaking looping effects on "Tomorrow Never Knows". Late-1966 saw the Beatles found their new frontier, recording "Strawberry Fields Forever" and "Penny Lane", later the album Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band and the film Magical Mystery Tour. These were the psychedelic years of the Beatles and the music is never the same.
