Anthology Highlights - 1996

In true Apple fashion, this was released a week after the release of Anthology 3. The inclusion of some unique material insured that those who had to have everything, also needed to buy this. Basically, this is a single disc, best of the Anthology collection with four new songs.

The four new songs are:

* Thinking Of Linking, edited from the Paul, George and Ringo reunion jam found on the Anthology DVD.
* Like Dreamers Do is the third original composition recorded during the Decca audition.
* Dehra Dhun, prefaced with the garden ukulele jam intro, is an All Things Must Pass outtake.
* Ain't She Sweet, also from the garden ukulele jam found on the Anthology DVD with John's vocal edited in.

Reality Notes:
Not a lot of imagination went into this. Songs are kept in roughly chronological order and were chosen for their uniqueness or historic value or, in some cases, just because I liked them. All are unedited released versions with a few exceptions being the removal of unwanted studio chatter and count-ins to make a smoother listen.

This is an interim solution that will be replaced with a different Anthology compilation that covers the 1970 to 1980 years.
