While My Guitar Gently Weeps ( Harrison) – Demo acoustic version (25 July 1968) — Played while showing the 'Credits'. Paul: "The direction was changing away from poppy stuff.... We branched out into songs that are a bit more surreal, more entertaining.... Dylan was starting to influence us quite heavily at that point." The success of the Anthology albums was parodied by the release of the Rutles' Archaeology some months later. Delays in the release of the third volume of the Beatles' series ultimately meant that the Rutles' parody arrived in shops on the same day as its inspiration. In October 1996 there was a strictly limited release from EMI, a slip case cover to house all three CD volumes, which have since become extremely rare, fetching high prices among collectors. The second element is the strict focus on The Beatles' music. Where most documentaries would allow voices to interrupt segments of music, the editors of Anthology allow songs to play out from beginning to end with no interruption. In many cases the video elements come from promotional films (the progenitor of music video), from theatrical releases such as Help and A Hard Day's Night or from the band's many television appearances. Others are cut together from various live performances and other rare footage. The result is a deeply satisfying sense that the music is as much a character in the legend of the band as are the men themselves.
