The Beatles' final song Now And Then: When is it out and what will it sound like?
By Mark SavageBBC Music Correspondent
After a week of build-up, The Beatles will release what's been billed as their " final song" on Thursday.
Called Now And Then , it's been 45 Years in the making - with The First bars Written By John Lennon in 1978 and The Song finally completed Last Year .
All four Beatles feature on The Track , which will be The Last credited to Lennon, McCartney, Harrison and Starr.
And in a full-circle moment, it's being issued as a double A-side single with their 1962 debut Love Me Do.
The release marks what could be the closing chapter for arguably The Greatest band in rock history.
When and where can I Hear Now And Then ?In the UK, Now And Then will receive its first play on BBC Radio 2 and 6 Music at 14:00 GMT on Thursday.
Simultaneously, The Song will arrive on streaming services like Spotify, Apple Music and Amazon Prime Music.
CD, vinyl and cassette copies will be available The Following Day . And from 10 November, The Song will be included on the newly remastered and expanded versions of The Beatles ' Red and Blue Greatest Hits albums.
What will it sound like?The original demo has circulated as a bootleg for years. An apologetic Love Song , it's fairly typical of John Lennon 's solo output of the 1970S - in a similar vein to Jealous Guy .
It was finished in the studio Last Year by Sir Paul Mccartney and Ringo Starr . George Harrison will appear via rhythm guitar parts he recorded in 1995, and producer Giles Martin has added a new string arrangement.
Those who have heard the finished track say it's a poignant and moving reflection on The Band 's friendship.
" Hearing John and Paul sing The First chorus together, as they lock into The Line 'Now And Then I miss you' - it's intensely powerful, to say the least, "
" I cried like a baby when I Heard it, " added BBC 6 Music's Lauren Laverne . " Just gorgeous. "

The Bbc is not responsible for the content of external sites. YouTube content may contain adverts.The story begins in 1978, when Lennon recorded a demo with vocals and piano at his home in New York .
After his death, widow Yoko Ono gave the recording to The Remaining Beatles on a cassette that also featured demos for Free as a Bird and Real Love .
Those two songs were completed and released as singles in 1995 and 96, marking The Beatles ' first " new" material for 25 years.
The Band also attempted to record Now And Then , But The Session was quickly abandoned. " It was One Day - One afternoon, really - messing with it, " producer Jeff Lynne recalled.
" The Song had a chorus But is almost totally lacking in verses. We did the backing track, a rough go that we really didn't finish. "
In The End , the quality of the recording was considered too poor to salvage. Harrison reportedly called it " rubbish" But McCartney never Let Go of the idea.
Was Artificial Intelligence used to finish The Song ?To an extent, yes.
During the Making Of The Beatles ' Get Back documentary, director Peter Jackson 's film company developed a piece of software that allowed them to " de-mix" muddled recordings of overlapping sounds.
The technology was used Last Year to create a new mix of The Band 's album Revolver.
" It has to learn what The Sound of John Lennon 's guitar is, for instance, and the more information you can give it, the better it becomes, "
For Now And Then , the software was able to " lift" Lennon's voice from the original cassette recording, removing the background hiss and the hum of the mains electricity that had hampered previous attempts to complete The Song .
In McCartney's words Lennon's voice is " crystal clear" on Now And Then .
A broadcast on Wednesday's The One Show, offered a startling illustration of what that means: The thin, ghostly voice of the 1970S suddenly sounds like it was recorded in Abbey Road itself.
" It was the closest we'll ever come to having him back in The Room , " said Starr. " Far Out . "
" All those memories came flooding back, " added McCartney. " My God , how lucky was I to have those men in My Life ?
" To still be working on Beatles music in 2023? Wow. "
Will there be a Music Video ?Yes, Jackson has created a new video, which will be unveiled at 14:00 GMT on Friday.
It will contain previously-unseen footage, including " a few precious seconds" of the earliest known film of The Beatles , provided by original drummer Pete Best and his brother Roag.
Roag said he bought the silent footage from A Man who used a cine camera to film The Band performing St Paul's Presbyterian Church Hall in Birkenhead in February 1962, eight months before their debut single came out.
Jackson's team have improved the quality and " it looks absolutely fantastic" Roag told Bbc News .
It is also the only known footage of The Band performing in the leather suits they sported before they became famous.
" The Lads are rocking backwards and forwards with guitars, mouths to The Microphones , singing, " Roag said.
It is also the only video from before Pete Best was sacked and replaced by Ringo Starr in August 1962 - But he is obscured in the footage, his brother said.
" From A Family perspective, I went, 'Ah, come on!' One of The Guys is actually standing in front of Pete so all you can see is Pete's Drum Kit and Pete's hands occasionally with the sticks. "
Jackson has used about Six Seconds of the footage in the Now And Then video. The original lasts for almost a minute and will Go On show at the Liverpool Beatles Museum , which Roag Best owns.
In a statement, Jackson said he had found other " unseen outtakes in The Vault , where The Beatles are relaxed, funny and rather candid".
He added: " We wove the humour into some footage shot in 2023. The result is pretty nutty and provided the video with much needed balance between the sad and the funny. "
