New Beatles.

 Here is a weird thing, they've got a new Beatles track out (Now and Then) despite half of them being dead. It's part of the Free as a Bird thing which I have clear memory of being promoted on the Big Breakfast. With Chris Evans and I think news caster Phil Gayle or predecessor Peter Smith (just checked and its 95 so definitely Smith).

It apparently was part of this tape Lennon recorded before he died and was previously too degraded to be used. FFWD 25 years or so and thanks to AI there is a new Beatles track.

The  thing is, from a dance perspective, the Beatles did nothing for us. Radiophonic workshop did the whole experimentalism thing better and Kraftwerk would go on to be massively influential. There's only a few Macca tracks I like (Temporary Secretary and Check my Machine),
