No more secret tracks of The Beatles will ever be released

Giles Martin states no undiscovered Beatles tracks remain for release, ending hopes for new secret material from the band's archives.

"I don't think there's anything... I think we're done. – Giles Martin"

Los Angeles, Jan 3

The Beatles' fans are staring at disappointment as producer Giles Martin has said that 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, reports 'Female First UK'.

He said, quoted by 'The Sun', "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", he added.

As per 'Female First UK', 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.

My father introduced me to The Beatles. Their music is timeless. While no new tracks is disappointing, the fact that Giles Martin is ensuring the existing work is presented in the best possible light is what matters. The raw Helter Skelter clip sounds amazing!

Respectfully, I have to disagree with the "we're done" sentiment. 🎵 Technology evolves. AI and new audio restoration tools might uncover nuances or mixes in old tapes that we can't hear today. The search shouldn't end forever.

It's beautiful how Giles gets to connect with his father's legacy through this work. The emotional value of that is perhaps greater than any undiscovered track. The four upcoming movies are the real exciting news now!

As an Indian fan, I grew up listening to them alongside Kishore Kumar and R.D. Burman. Their influence is everywhere. Maybe there are no more secret tracks, but their existing music has enough depth to discover something new every time you listen. ✌️

Honestly, it's better this way. No more milking the past. Let the legacy rest. Focus on the new projects like the movies. Can't wait to see how they portray each member's journey.
