The Beatles have been moving a lot of product with the release of Love just before the holiday season. If the alternative versions of old songs did so well, there's bound to be some significant hype for a brand new song from the fab four. Ok, not entirely brand new, but new nonetheless.

Paul McCartney reportedly is thinking with the idea of going back in the studio to add some harmonies to a John Lennon lead vocal track of a song they wrote "all those years ago" (sorry, couldn't help it). The tune "Now and Then" was apparently considered for release in the 1990s, but George Harrison apparently wasn't happy with the song. McCartney himself is quoted as saying "It needed a bit of reworking but it had a beautiful verse." With his divorce from Heather Mills still in an ugly phase, this is just the sort of project Sir Paul may delve into to gain back a bit of the dignity lost in 2006's tabloid frenzy.
