NEW YORK (AP) — Sixty years after the onset

of Beatlemania and with two of the quartet
now dead, artificial intelligence has enabled
the release next week of what is promised to
be the last “new” Beatles song.

The track, called “Now And Then,” will be

available Thursday, Nov. 2, as part of a single
paired with “Love Me Do,” the very first
Beatles single that came out in 1962 in
England, it was announced Thursday.

“Now And Then” comes from the same batch

of unreleased demos written by the late John
Lennon, which were taken by his former
bandmates to construct the songs “Free As a
Bird” and “Real Love,” released in the mid-
1990s.
