The Beatles worked on "NOW AND THEN" back in 1995, but decided to abort it after only a few days. Since then, Paul McCartney has showed interest in finishing the project. George Harrison's guitar parts have been recorded back in 1995. Also, the technology is there to lift guitar pieces from other songs George played on, as well as any other tracks or passages from original Beatles recordings. John Lennon's voice and piano are originally on this recording, not to mention this is his composition, so his parts are complete. Ringo Starr has added some drums, back in 1995, but could finish them up, when he and Paul get together. Others have taken the raw John Lennon tape recording of "Now And Then" and produced their own version, which had good results. It is now time for Apple and the remaining two Beatles to put out the real thing. This song is so beautiful and deserves to be released. Please sign this petition. This could be the Beatles's final gift to their fans, and the world.
Please help spread the word about this petition so that we may generate more awareness and much needed signatures. This can be done by contacting your local radio station's web sites, posting on Beatles and other music forums, etc., and of course, word of mouth. Thank all of you for supporting this petition. If you need to contact me, I am at: AWC1967@HOTMAIL.COM, I welcome all comments and suggestions.

I have heard the unfinished version on myspace, youtube, et al. Regardless of what is said here and on wikipedia, that version has to be Beatles, it is impossible that some other party could have done that from John's demo. That version blew me away. I could not imagine what this song, which really could be THE masterpiece of all masterpieces if Paul, Ringo and George Martin could finish it, would sound like. It truly could be the epitaph of The Beatles, the greatest popular musical group ever to exist.

It's a beautiful song that Paul and Ringo (with a little hep from George and Giles Martin) could turn into THE masterpiece.

What with the the technical software advancements that have occurred since 1994/95 with Pro Tools And Digital Performer, almost anyone who knows what they are doing can go back and improve John;s vocals on the Anthology singles.
The buzz on John's original cassette can be reduced significantly with his vocal spread onto several tracks (each specifically isolated into different parts of the audio spectrum) and reconstructed to improve it to the extent that it can be succesfully overdubbed.
Heck just ask and I'll send you my own version of significantly improved bed track.
In addition , there's no reason a full new of Beatles material couldn't be issued using the half a dozen or so tracks circa '94/95 as as Any OFFICiAl BEATLES Album would consist of vocals featuring a Ringo, two George; with Paul And John getting five each. And Look how many songs dating back to 1965 issued as the Beatles when only Beatle was present on the recording. And noone is going to say great Beatles recordings like "The Ballad Of John And Yoko" as not being the Beatles because all four weren't present at that particular session.

The Beatles to me are my religon. They are the beginning and end of pretty much who I am.. So to hear that there is material unreleased of the sort talked about here gives me hope that there is still yet more music to hear from my idols.. I am very sure that I am not the only one who believes this...

I understand the sentiment behind this, but I must say this petition is awe inspiring. Don't you think that the remaining Beatles and their families already know that Beatles fans would desperately love to have one final Beatles song? Therefore, there is a great need for this petition. You cannot force an artist to produce an work of art, however, it seems you are trying to inspire with this brilliantly conceived petition. You do have the RIGHT to pursue this petition and have this song finished or released. Therefore this petition is quite worthwhile. Paul and Ringo already know that every Beatles fan desperately wants to have this song completed and released.
