Snippets Of Beatles On Paul's Latest

Paul McCartney's latest recording has reassembled the Beatles - or at least their instruments.

A track titled Free Now, due out in England on Monday, features musical samples of John, Paul, George, and Ringo culled from recording sessions in the 1960s, McCartney said in a release Tuesday.

"It's a new little piece of the Beatles," said McCartney. "It's an outbreak from my normal stuff. It's a little side dish that is not to be confused with my other work."

Free Now, part of a five-track release titled Liverpool Sound Collage, contains outtakes from recordings made between 1965-69 with McCartney, George Harrison, John Lennon, and Ringo Starr.

The track is billed as the Beatles' first original work since the 1995 release of the single Free As a Bird.

Liverpool Sound Collage is not a traditional musical album. Instead, it features a variety of voices and sounds from Liverpool: the River Mersey, shoppers on the street, a fish and chips vendor, snippets of McCartney's Liverpool Oratorio.

McCartney created the sound collage for an art exhibit titled About Collage. It was not clear when the material would be released in the United States.
