November 19, 1995 –
The Beatles Anthology documentary series first aired in US on ABC-TV on this date. The entire series was shown over three nights that week
The series was released simultaneously with an accompanying album and book. The three surviving Beatles had heard that original drummer Pete Best had fallen on hard times and in order for Best to get some royalties from the Anthology sales, they included early original recordings that were made with Best on drums, most noticeably the January 1st 1962 Decca demos. The amount of Royalties Best received haven’t officially been made known, but based on sales figures, they are believed to be between £1million to £4 million.
