Anthology Collection is a boxed set by English rock band the Beatles, released on 21 November 2025 as a part of the 30th anniversary of the Beatles Anthology series of archival material.
Content
Anthology Collection contains all four Anthology albums, those being Anthology 1 (1995), Anthology 2 (1996), Anthology 3 (1996), and Anthology 4 (2025). The first three volumes were compiled by George Martin, and the fourth one was compiled by Martin's son Giles. All of the albums were remastered by Giles, with Jeff Lynne also creating new mixes of "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" for Anthology 4.
Release and promotion Initially announced on 13 August 2025 on the band's website, music news outlets quickly promoted the upcoming release.
The box set was released on 21 November 2025, alongside Anthology 4, and the Anthology docuseries on Disney+ on 26 November. All of the releases coincided with the 30th anniversary edition of the Beatles Anthology.
Reception
Writing for Rolling Stone, Rob Sheffield concluded the set "bristles with that kind of nonstop restless creative spirit — the raw Hamburg punk rock of Volume One, the trippy studio experiments of Volume Two, [and] the mature world-weary grit of Volume Three." Tim Sendra noted in a review for AllMusic that "The added brightness and clarity given to the songs is a nice upgrade, so is the more compact packaging", concluding that "It will definitely appeal to Beatles' fans who don't have the original versions[,] and that seems like a very good reason for this set to exist."
