Summary

First Released June 2020

The Road to Anthology 1968-1993


By the time The Beatles Anthology finally appeared in 1995, it had taken over 25 years to produce. To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2020, Nothing Is Real made three episodes looking at the acclaimed documentary.


In this episode Steven and Jason navigate the years from 1968, when the idea arose through to 1992 when the cameras started rolling.


Live on tape from Dublin, it’s Nothing Is Real.

Today we're putting out Season 2, Episode 1, which is The Road to Anthology.
