Earlier this week, Disney+ released the restored and remastered docu-series The Beatles: Anthology – an updated version of the 1995 original. And while perusing the Black Friday vinyl deals, I noticed that Amazon has cut the price of the accompanying 12LP Anthology Collection vinyl box set – chopping the price by 18% from $374.98 to $309.01 for Black Friday.
Considering the box set was only released at the end of August, this is a brilliant deal and one that Beatles fans should snap up if they can.
In total, The Beatles: Anthology Collection box set contains a whopping 191 tracks including studio outtakes from 1963-1969, live cuts, demos and broadcasts. There’s also new 2025 mixes by Jeff Lynne of Free As A Bird and Real Love.
Each of the 12LPs has been pressed on 180g vinyl, with all 3LP sets presented in a triple-gatefold sleeve with original art and sleeve notes by historian and biographer Mark Lewisohn. As if all this wasn’t enough, Anthology 4 has new sleeve notes by Kevin Howlett, while the outer slipcase features the original Klaus Voorman triptych art.
To watch The Beatles: Anthology, you’ll need a subscription to Disney+. Luckily, there’s an excellent Black Friday streaming deal available right now, as you can get a Disney+/Hulu (with ads) bundle for only $4.99/month for 12 months – that’s down from the usual monthly price of $12.99 – a saving of more than $95. The deal runs through December 1 and is for new and eligible returning subscribers.
Six episodes are available to watch right now, with the next two plus the all-new episode 9 following in due course.
