Released in December 1995, ‘Free As A Bird’ was the first of the new songs. Instead of recording a completely new composition together, Paul, George and Ringo created a track based on John’s 1977 demo, recorded at his and Yoko’s home in the Dakota in New York City. Jeff Lynne, a good friend of George Harrison’s and a fellow member of the Travelling Wilburys, was drafted in to help with production.

Free as a Bird" is a song originally composed and recorded in 1977 as a home demo by John Lennon. It was released 25 years after the break-up of the band and 15 years after the death of Lennon

The other Beatles recorded around his tracks to complete song in 1994. The next year, it was released as a single. Jeff Lynne of The Electric Light Orchestra produced this. Ringo Starr and George Harrison both played on . Lynne had quite a task on this song, as Lennon's original vocal was mixed with the piano track. Yoko Ono agreed to release Lennon's demo to the other Beatles the day after he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Yoko got a bad rap by a lot of Beatles fans, but she has been very protective of Lennon's legacy  . which it was. I was almost 30 at the time and I never thought I would ever see the day that a new Beatles song would ever be announced.
