During early 1995, as work on ''The Beatles Anthology'' continued, [[Yoko Ono]] and McCartney recorded an [[avant-garde]] piece called "Hiroshima Sky Is Always Blue". Ono provided vocals and McCartney played bass, while [[Sean Lennon]], [[Linda McCartney]], and McCartney's children played various instruments. The piece was broadcast on Japanese public television in memory of the 50th anniversary of the [[Atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki|atomic bombing of Hiroshima]].<ref>{{cite news |title=A new song for history |date=4 August 1995 |agency=Associated Press |newspaper=Times Daily |url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=PV8eAAAAIBAJ&sjid=E8kEAAAAIBAJ&pg=2618,562306}}</ref>

The track "[[Carnival of Light]]", recorded during the ''[[Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band]]'' sessions, was intended to be released on the ''[[Anthology 2]]'' album, but was vetoed by George Harrison.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.beatlesbible.com/songs/carnival-of-light/2/ |title=Carnival of Light |date=15 March 2008 |publisher=The Beatles Bible |access-date=20 August 2011}}</ref>

It was reported that McCartney, Harrison and Starr worked on a new composition called "All for Love" in March 1995, intended as a track on ''Anthology 3'', but the effort was abandoned.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/news/411allforlove.html |title=More on 'All For Love' -- what Paul really said (with pictures) |publisher=Abbeyrd.best.vwh.net |access-date=20 August 2011 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131128100439/http://abbeyrd.best.vwh.net/news/411allforlove.html |archive-date=28 November 2013 }}</ref> No version of the song has reached the public.

McCartney, Harrison, Starr, and Jeff Lynne attempted a full band recording of Lennon's song "[[Now and Then (Beatles song)|Now and Then]]" using his demo vocals, intending it to anchor ''Anthology 3''. The poor fidelity and excessive ambient noise of the original tape proved too difficult to alleviate with contemporary digital equipment, and the song was abandoned. George Harrison was dismissive of the quality of the song, calling it "fucking rubbish".<ref>{{cite magazine |url-status=live |archive-date=Aug 4, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230804141404/https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/10/18/paul-mccartney-doesnt-really-want-to-stop-the-show |last=Remnick |first=David |author-link=David Remnick |date=October 11, 2021 |magazine=[[The New Yorker]] |language=en |access-date=8 August 2023 |title=Paul McCartney Doesn't Really Want to Stop the Show |url=https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/10/18/paul-mccartney-doesnt-really-want-to-stop-the-show}}</ref> The song was replaced as the opening track on ''Anthology 3'' with the ''[[The Beatles (album)|White Album]]'' outtake "[[Don't Pass Me By#"A Beginning"|A Beginning]]". In 2023, McCartney, Starr and [[Giles Martin]] refurbished and completed the track, using [[artificial intelligence]] to extricate Lennon's vocal from the demo tape, and released it as a "final Beatles song", both as a single and as a bonus track on the expanded edition of the ''[[1967-1970]]'' compilation album.<ref>{{Cite news |url-status=live |archive-date=Aug 5, 2023 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230805102233/https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65881813 |date=13 Jun 2023 |website=[[BBC]] |language=en |access-date=8 August 2023 |title=Sir Paul McCartney says artificial intelligence has enabled a 'final' Beatles song |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/entertainment-arts-65881813}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://variety.com/2023/music/news/beatles-now-then-final-song-release-red-blue-hits-albums-expanded-editions-1235768825/|title=The Beatles' 'Last Song,' 'Now and Then,' Is Set for Release, Along With Expanded, Remix-Filled 'Red' and 'Blue' Hits Collections|work=Variety|date=26 October 2023 |publisher=26 October 2023|access-date=26 October 2023}}</ref>
