You are listening to the genuine Hi-Fi stereo sound transferred from the actual vinyl record in the best possible quality.

"Now and Then" is a song by the English rock band the Beatles, released on 2 November 2023. Dubbed "the last Beatles song", it appeared on a double A-side single, paired with a new stereo remix of the band's first single, "Love Me Do" (1962), with the two serving as "bookends" to the band's history. Both songs were included on the expanded re-issues of the 1973 compilations 1962–1966 and 1967–1970, released on 10 November 2023.
"Now and Then" is a psychedelic soft rock ballad that John Lennon wrote and recorded in around 1977 as a five-minute solo piano home demo, but left unfinished. After Lennon's death in 1980, the song was considered as the third Beatles reunion single for their 1995–1996 retrospective project The Beatles Anthology, following "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love", both based on Lennon's demos. Instead, it was shelved for nearly three decades, until it was completed by the surviving bandmates Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, using overdubs and guitar tracks by George Harrison (who died in 2001) from the abandoned 1995 sessions.
The final version features additional lyrics by McCartney and Lennon's voice which was extracted from the demo using the machine learning assisted audio restoration technology commissioned by Peter Jackson for his 2021 documentary The Beatles: Get Back. Jackson also directed the music video for "Now and Then". The song received acclaim from critics, who felt it was a worthy finale for the Beatles. "Now and Then" topped the charts in the United Kingdom and Germany, and also reached the top ten in Australia, Ireland, the Netherlands, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. It is the only Beatles UK number one single not attributed to the Lennon–McCartney songwriting partnership.
