"Anthology 3" by The Beatles - ****

First released: 1996

The final (for now) "Anthology" came out a year after the first one, and featured no new track, although a new track was rumored to have been completed, but not released. To date, it has not seen the light of day. This volume covers the years 1968-1970 and features such unreleased goodies as "What's the New Mary Jane" and a early demo version of "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". It was also supposed to have a third brand new track called "Now and Then", but it was left off and still remains unreleased. There are still a number of quality, unreleased songs that could fill at least two more Anthology editions, and in fact the bootleggers did just that with "Anthology Plus" and "Anthology More".
