Beatles, The - Now And Then LP Maxi Single
The Beatles bola anglická rocková skupina založená v Liverpoole v roku 1960 v zložení John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison a Ringo Starr. Sú považovaní za najvplyvnejšiu skupinu všetkých čias a boli neoddeliteľnou súčasťou rozvoja kontrakultúry 60. rokov a uznania populárnej hudby ako umeleckej formy. Ich zvuk má korene v skiffle, beate a rock'n'rolle 50. rokov a inovatívnym spôsobom zahŕňa prvky klasickej hudby a tradičného popu. Skupina tiež skúmala hudobné štýly od ľudovej a indickej hudby po psychedéliu a hard rock. Ako priekopníci v nahrávaní, písaní piesní a umeleckej prezentácii spôsobili Beatles revolúciu v mnohých aspektoch hudobného priemyslu a boli často propagovaní ako vodcovia mládežníckych a sociokultúrnych hnutí tej doby. The Beatles sú najpredávanejším hudobným počinom všetkých čias s odhadovaným predajom 600 miliónov kusov po celom svete. Sú najúspešnejším počinom v histórii americkej hitparády Billboard, držia rekord v počte albumov na prvom mieste v UK Albums Chart (15), najviac hitov na prvom mieste v americkom rebríčku Billboard Hot 100 (20 ) a najviac singlov sa predalo v Spojenom kráľovstve (21,9 milióna). Skupina získala mnoho ocenení vrátane siedmich cien Grammy, štyroch cien Brit Awards, Oscara (za najlepšiu pôvodnú skladbu pre dokumentárny film Let It Be z roku 1970) a pätnástich cien Ivora Novella. V roku 1988 ich uviedli do Rock'n'rollovej siene slávy a každý hlavný člen bol uvedený individuálne v rokoch 1994 až 2015. V rokoch 2004 a 2011 sa skupina dostala na prvé miesto rebríčka najväčších umelcov v histórii Rolling Stone. Časopis Time ich zaradil medzi 100 najdôležitejších ľudí 20. storočia.
„Now And Then“ je posledná pieseň Beatles, ktorú napísal John Lennon v polovici/koncom sedemdesiatych rokov. S Johnovým hlasom Now Pristine In The Mix obsahuje skladba „Now And Then“ prvky z relácií z roku 1995 vrátane gitarových partov Georgea Harrisona a vokálnych a inštrumentálnych partov, ktoré v roku 2022 nahrali Paul McCartney a Ringo Starr, spolu s novým aranžmánom pre sláčiky. „Now And Then“, produkovaná Paulom a Gilesom Martinom, je posledná pieseň nahraná všetkými štyrmi Beatles, silné a vhodné finále nadčasových nahrávok kapely.„Love Me Do“ je pieseň, ktorá to všetko začala, bola prvým britským singlom The Beatles v roku 1962. Po prvýkrát bola ikonická pieseň zmixovaná pomocou strojového učenia a remixovaná v skutočnom stereo. Skladba „Love Me Do“ odštartovala cestu The Beatles k bezkonkurenčnému celosvetovému úspechu a uznaniu, ktoré pretrváva dodnes.Dvojitý singel skupiny Beatles pre skladbu „Now And Then“ a „Love Me Do“ spája poslednú pieseň Beatles s prvým britským singlom kapely. Výkonné hudobné zarážky do kánonu nahraného The Beatles, obe piesne sú uvedené aj v nových rozšírených výročných edíciách.
