The Beatles Anthology, which traces the history of The Beatles from before its formation to its dissolution in chronological order with rare recordings and live performances, was released in 1995 as a documentary project consisting of video footage, books, and a trilogy of albums. The trilogy of albums featured numerous studio outtakes, demos, live recordings of existing TV broadcasts and concerts, and new songs "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" based on John Lennon's recordings. Three types of songs were released sequentially from VOL.1 to 3 on 2CD, and they included previously unknown first-time recordings and unreleased songs, which shocked Beatles collectors at the time and attracted attention. In the 20 years or so since then, sound source sources have been discovered, and many sound sources, including those that were not recorded in 95, have evolved to be closer to the original sound, unedited, and the quality of sound sources has improved. In addition, remastering technology has progressed and the sound quality has been further improved. Monaural sound sources have also been converted to real stereo by the latest AI sound source analysis, and unprecedented attempts are also evolving. "Complete Works" follows the original anthology trilogy, but basically re-edits based on the best sound source at the moment. In addition, it is an extended and revised version that has been replaced with longer episodes and versions than the original. Not only has the content increased significantly compared to the original, but if you listen to it and compare it, you can see the difference in the sound quality and quality of the updated. As a sound source collection that traces the history of The Beatles in chronological order, it covers all basic rare sound sources and additionally includes newly discovered sound sources, making it a highly recommended and noteworthy series that can be said to be the latest edited version that is ideal for an introduction to collectors.
