The Beatles Tease ‘Anthology 4’ with Rare ‘I’ve Just Seen a Face’ Track

## The Beatles’ Upcoming Anthology Release

The Beatles have provided a sneak peek into their anticipated *Anthology 4* by revealing an unreleased version of their classic track “I’ve Just Seen a Face.”

### Recording History

This particular take was captured at Abbey Road Studios (in Studio Two) on June 14, 1965—over six decades ago. The band laid down six takes of this song, with this vibrant third take showcasing their spontaneity before the final version was selected for the *Help!* album.

### A Glimpse into the Studio

“I’ve Just Seen a Face (Take 3)” begins with unfiltered audio from the studio. John Lennon humorously comments on Lonnie Donegan, a Scottish skiffle musician who influenced the band, suggesting he would have regretted missing out on singing this track. The take also features Lennon missing his cue at the outset, adding a charming, authentic touch.

### Release Details

Scheduled for release on November 21, *Anthology 4* will include 36 tracks, with 13 of them being previously unreleased outtakes and demos. Alongside this, an enhanced version of the Beatles’ *Anthology* documentary will premiere on Disney+ on November 26, expanding to a nine-part series.

### More Unreleased Gems

In addition to “I’ve Just Seen a Face (Take 3),” *Anthology 4* features additional unreleased takes such as “In My Life,” “Nowhere Man,” and “If I Fell.” Additionally, a rehearsal for the BBC broadcast of “All You Need Is Love” and updated mixes of *Anthology* tracks “Free as a Bird” and “Real Love” will be included.

### Collectible Releases

As a bonus, all four volumes of *Anthology* will be available as a comprehensive collection, released as a 12-LP box set featuring 180-gram vinyl and an eight-CD box set, along with digital versions from Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMG.
