The Beatles Anthology 

The Beatles Anthology is a multimedia retrospective project consisting of a television documentary, a three-volume set of double albums, and a book describing the history of the Beatles.

 

Beatles members Paul McCartneyGeorge Harrison and Ringo Starr participated in the making of the works, which are sometimes referred to collectively as the Anthology project, while John Lennon appears in archival interviews.

​

The documentary series was first broadcast in November 1995, with expanded versions released on VHS and Laser Disc in 1996 and on DVD in 2003.

 

The documentary used interviews with the Beatles and their associates to narrate the history of the band as seen through archival footage and performances. The Anthology book, released in 2000, paralleled the documentary in presenting the group's history through quotes from interviews.
