Producer Giles Martin says no more secret Beatles tracks will ever be released.
The producer has spent a number of years going through the Fab Four’s archives for the Disney Plus revived Beatles’ Anthology series and remixed albums and tracks but he doesn’t believe there is anything new left to uncover.
According to The Sun, he said: “I don’t think there’s anything. I always say that then something turns up.
“But I don’t think there’s anything. It’s incredible how much interest there still is over Beatles stuff.
“You do [hear new] things on this Anthology box set. There’s that first round of Helter Skelter, which for me is great because it’s really raw. It’s proper in your face music.
“And then people go, ‘Well, how come we haven’t released the 20-minute long version of Helter Skelter?’ I think we’re done.”
Giles’ father, Sir George Martin – who died in 2016 - was known as “the fifth Beatle” for his work with the band and Giles has enjoyed going through his father’s work.
He said: “The Beatles are so powerful that it’s what people want to know about.
“It’s really nice. I love my dad. We were incredibly close.
“Their music and what they did really makes people feel better about themselves. So to work on this material and to be close to my dad is a great thing.”
Giles curated the new Anthology 4 album and remastered the entire collection for the 2025 re-release of The Beatles’ Anthology series.
He is also working with director Sam Mendes on the four upcoming Beatles movies, which will each focus on a different member of the band; John Lennon, Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Sir Ringo Starr.
