Now and Then" is The Last Beatles Song, written and sung by John Lennon and elaborated by Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, and finally completed by Paul and Ringo over 40 years later. The album features their debut single "Love Me Do" as both A-sides. The original cover art was done by famous artist Ed Ruscha. Paul's comment: "John's voice sounds so clear. I was quite impressed. It's really exciting to be still working on Beatles music in 2023 and to be releasing new songs that the public hasn't heard yet. Ringo comments: "It was very emotional for all of us because it was the closest we ever got to him, next to him coming back into the room. It was like John was there. It was novel."

Danny and I are convinced that if he were here today, he would have put his heart and soul into completing the recording of Now and Then with Paul and Ringo." Sean Ono Lennon comments: "When I heard they were working together after so many years since my father was gone, I was extremely moved. This is the last song my father, Paul, George and Ringo wrote together.This song is like a time capsule,I feel it is fateful" [of the Japanese versionみ】英文解説翻訳付歌詞対訳付SHM-CD仕様"Now And Then" Credits:Produced by Paul McCartney, Giles MartinAdditional Production: Jeff LynneVocals: John Lennon, Paul McCartneyBacking Vocals: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, Ringo StarrGuitars: George HarrisonGuitars, Bass, Piano, Electric Harpsichord, Shaker: Paul McCartneyDrums, Tambourine, Shaker: Ringo StarrAdditional Credits:String Arrangement: Paul McCartney, Giles Martin, Ben FosterMixed by Spike StentEngineered by Geoff Emerick, Steve Orchard, Greg McAllister, Jon Jacobs, Steve Genewick, Bruce Sugar, Keith SmithSource Separation / MAL Courtesy of WingNut Films Productions Ltd.Head of Machine Learning: Emile de la ReyProject Management: Adam SharpRecorded at Recorded at Hog Hill Studio, Capitol Studios and Roccabella WestMastered by Miles ShowellProject Producers: Jonathan Clyde and Guy HaydenExecutive Producer: Jeff Jones
