COMMENTS
"Real Love" is a song written by the English musician John Lennon, formerly of the Beatles. He recorded six demos of the song in 1979 and 1980 with "Real Life", a different song that merged with "Real Love". In 1988, the sixth take was posthumously released for the documentary soundtrack Imagine: John Lennon. In 1995, his demo was completed by his former Beatles bandmates (Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr) as part of the Beatles Anthology project, along with "Free as a Bird".
The song was released as a Beatles single in 1996 in the United Kingdom, United States and many other countries.
The track opened the Beatles' Anthology 2 album. "Real Love" was the last new Beatles song released in the lifetime of George Harrison, who died in 2001, and the last single by the group until "Now and Then" in 2023.

The Beatles performed "Baby's in Black" live at Hollywood Bowl in August 1965.
In 1996, a live version of "Baby's in Black" was released as a B-side to "Real Love", the second single from their Anthology project.
20 years later, it was included as a bonus track in 2016 expanded live album Live at the Hollywood Bowl.
