The Beatles' Anthology 1 was released in late 1995 (tying in with a televised special that aired in three parts and includes rarites and alternatives tracks from their days as "The Quarrymen", through the Decca auditions to the album Beatles for Sale. Also included in this album, was the Jeff Lynne produced track "Free as a Bird" which was billed as the first new Beatles' song in 25 years.
Anthology 1 is of historical interest to Beatles fans for, among other things, including performances by past Beatles Stuart Sutcliffe and Pete Best. Sutcliffe, the band's original bass player who quit the group and was replaced on bass by McCartney, is featured on three tracks: "Hallelujah, I Love Her So", "You'll Be Mine", and "Cayenne". Best, who was the band's drummer until shortly after their successful 1962 audition for EMI, is featured on tracks 10-12, 15-19, 21 and 22 on Disc 1. Track #22 is the original recording of "Love Me Do", which would go on to be the band's first single after Ringo Starr replaced Best as drummer.
