Beatles' 'Anthology' arrives at iTunes

Need a summer escape from Auto-Tune-battered radio? If you're a Beatles fan, you're in luck. The band's remastered collection, cleverly titled Anthology, Vols. 1-3, made its digital debut this week exclusively on iTunes. Fans can ease into the smorgasbord of rare and previously unreleased recordings by buying the LPs individually ($29.99) or scoop up all 155 tracks ($79.99). There's also a 23-track Anthology Highlights collection ($12.99). An introductory Anthology video and a 50-minute Meet the Beatles radio show are streaming free at itunes.com/TheBeatles. ?

CD/BLU-RAY

Neil Young's 'Treasure' finally unearthed

A Treasure, a "new" Neil Young album recorded while the singer/songwriter was on tour with his crack International Harvesters band of country musicians in 1984 and 1985, is the latest rich nugget from an archive series that has yet to spit out a clunker. Five of the live album's 12 tracks are previously unreleased, including Amber Jean, Soul of a Woman and Grey Riders, the first tune serviced to radio. While embroiled in lawsuits with his label, Geffen, over the direction of his music, Young hopscotched across genres in the '80s, striking gold with this dive into country. The set is available in standard CD, vinyl (exclusively through NeilYoung.com) and a deluxe CD/Blu-ray collection. ? Gundersen

BOOK

'Cool' tribute to the Rat Pack's Dean Martin

The late Dean Martin is fondly remembered in a new book, Cool Then, Cool Now. The 60-page-plus hardcover book ($50) from Universal Music Enterprises is stuffed with rare photos from personal collections and family archives that provide a behind-the-scenes look at the King of Cool in the studio, on movie sets and with friends. It includes heartfelt tributes from such pals as Jerry Lewis, Shirley MacLaine and Arnold Palmer. Also inside is a two-CD, 28-song collection that includes hits Everybody Loves Somebody, Mambo Italiano, That's Amore, Sway, Volare and rarities such as Any Man Who Loves His Mother from the original film soundtrack to Robin and the Seven Hoods. Also just out from Capitol/EMI are the 20-track Classic Dino: The Best of Dean Martin and the 36-track, two-CD Dino: The Essential Dean Martin. Martin died in 1995 at age 78. ? Steve Jones
