The Beatles’ fans are facing disappointment as producer Giles Martin has confirmed that no more secret Beatles tracks will be released.
Giles has spent years exploring the archives of the Fab Four for the revived Disney Plus Beatles Anthology series and for remixed albums and tracks. However, he believes there is nothing new left to discover, as reported by ‘Female First UK’.
He stated, quoted by ‘The Sun’, “I don’t think there’s anything. I always say that then something turns up. But I don’t think there’s anything. It’s incredible how much interest there still is over Beatles stuff. You do (hear new) things on this Anthology box set. There’s that first round of Helter Skelter, which for me is great because it’s really raw. It’s proper in your face music.”
Regarding the long version of Helter Skelter, he remarked, “And then people go, ‘Well, how come we haven’t released the 20-minute long version of Helter Skelter?’ I think we’re done.”
As noted by ‘Female First UK’, Giles’ father, Sir George Martin, who passed away in 2016, was famously known as “the fifth Beatle” for his contributions to the band. Giles has expressed his enjoyment in reviewing his father’s work. He shared, “The Beatles are so powerful that it’s what people want to know about. It’s really nice. I love my dad. We were incredibly close. Their music and what they did really makes people feel better about themselves. So to work on this material and to be close to my dad is a great thing.”
Giles has curated the new Anthology 4 album and remastered the entire collection for the 2025 re-release of The Beatles’ Anthology series. Additionally, he is collaborating with director Sam Mendes on four upcoming Beatles movies, which will each focus on a different band member: John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Sir Ringo Starr.
