Now And Then may not be John Lennon’s best-ever song, but the new, orchestrated and augmented version has an undeniable poignance with the surviving Beatles in the final act of their solo careers.
At this writing, I haven’t gone on to Facebook and Reddit to experience the reactions of first and second generation Beatles fans, who are often less forward-thinking (usually spouting knee-jerk racism towards Yoko Ono) than the Fab Four were.
Kudos to Giles Martin, with the aid of Peter Jackson’s software, for a crisp, immediate remix of Love Me Do (the version with Ringo on drums).
