What are the odds of getting Beatles Anthology 4?  

The three titles that were released in the mid-90's were spectacular!  But I'm quite sure it only touched a quarter of what the band could actually offer.  There's tons of bootlegs out there, for a reason - because fans desire to own them.  They want it all.  (Fans are crazay in the membraine.)  Why not give it to us?  There is a definite market for fresh Beatles material.  The release of Anthology I, II, and III proved that, according to sales.  Both the first two Anthology albums hit #1, and sold many thousands within the first two weeks.

There's so much out there, its ridiculous.  Maybe they're waiting for Ringo and Paul to pass away before releasing them, maybe they can't release them while they're alive because of their refusal of being released.

I would love the following:

Twickenham Studio Rehearsals

Also:
(from Wikipedia)

Some of the releases of the Anthology series consists of bootlegged material yet to be officially released, maybe it will never be released. But some have been bootlegged. This includes:
The Beatles Anthology More
The Beatles Anthology Plus
The Beatles Anthology 2000
The Beatles Anthology 4 - Advanced Test
The Beatles Anthology 5 - Advanced Test
The Beatles Anthology 6 - Advanced Test
The Beatles Anthology Extra
The Beatles Anthology Outtakes 1
The Beatles Anthology Outtakes 2
The Beatles Anthology Outtakes 3

I would be in heaven.

Oh, and I want to add that I somehow downloaded a song from LimeWire called: "That Means A Lot".  This particular version was CLEAN, with crisp McCartney vocals and solid harmonies from John and George, the way the song was meant to be heard.  Alas, the Anthology 2 only included one version.

I'd give my right arm for more Anthologies (maybe even my left one too)

All is available on bootlegs. Why bother for Anthologies?

Well at this time is really difficult to release officially a new Anthology I think. The 3 volumes covered 13 years of music, their entire career. What they're gonna do?
The only complaint I have with the bootlegs is that they don't follow the exactly cover style, art design, fonts. By the way, do they include booklets? I don't know.

Because dumb people like me have no way of getting the bootlegs.

[Buttmunker]

I'm just surprised at Apple, or whatever.  There's money to be made here, and they're pretending they don't need it, or something.  There's a lot of Beatles fans without computers who can't get bootlegs, or haven't the notion how to do it (like me).

Not true! Have you paid a visit to our Bootleg Forum?! All these tracks and more have been available here at one time or other.

Buttmunker hasn't got the required 250 posts. There will be a whole new world as soon as he (she?) has.

[The End]

True - only 107 to go Buttmunker - if you were Raxo, you'd manage that in one evening!

Don't temp fate!

[Buttmunker]

Sure, by just asking dumb Beatles questions (wait, didn't mean to insult every single poster here).

[Joost]

I don't know where I heard or read it, but I recall that George, Paul and Ringo stated quite clearly that they were not interested in doing any more anthologies because they thought that selling the leftovers of the leftovers would be kind of a rip off.

[BlueMeanie]

I've heard a lot of bootlegs, and an Anthology 4 would just be re-treading old ground with inferior material. Whilst it would appeal to most of us, it wouldn't really appeal to anyone else. The Let It Be stuff is worthwhile for the chat. Musically it's pretty dreadful. As for the two Holy Grails: Carnival Of Light, and the 27 minute Helter Skelter. You can forget about 'Carnival'. George didn't want it on the last Anthologies, so it's never coming out. I'm not even sure that the 27 minute Helter Skelter exists anymore, though there is an edited version on Anthology, so it's possible. But it's probably awful.

you couldn't be farther from the truth! Carnival of Light and Helter Skelter take 3 aren't available on any bootlegs.

[Bobber]

Alright. Most is available on bootlegs.

[BlueMeanie]

That stuff is exactly what you wouldn't get, though.
