Released in December 1995, \u2018Free As A Bird\u2019 was the first of the new songs. Instead of recording a completely new composition together, Paul, George and Ringo created a track based on John\u2019s 1977 demo, recorded at his and Yoko\u2019s home in the Dakota in New York City. <\/p>\n<p>Jeff Lynne, a good friend of George Harrison\u2019s and a fellow member of the Travelling Wilburys, was drafted in to help with production. The \u2018Free As A Bird\u2019 video had it\u2019s first public outing on America\u2019s ABC TV on Sunday November 19th 1995, and the track was subsequently aired on BBC Radio 1 the day after \u2013 the day before Anthology came out. The single release followed two weeks later and made No.2 on the UK charts, while in the US \u2018Free As A Bird\u2019 enjoyed an 11-week run on the best-seller list, peaking at No.5. <\/p>\n<p>Joe Pytka, a talented American filmmaker who had made several music videos with Michael Jackson, directed the beautiful video. The visual concept was a \u2018bird\u2019s-eye-view\u2019 of countless Beatles songs.<\/p>\n<p>Official site: http:\/\/www.thebeatles.com<br \/>\nFacebook: https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thebeatles\/<br \/>\nInstagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/thebeatles<br \/>\nTwitter: https:\/\/twitter.com\/thebeatles<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Beatles Now Streaming.
