The Beatles Never Broke Up - Hear the Lost Album

A website with the URL TheBeatlesNeverBrokeUp.com was created on 9 September 2009. This date was very notable, as an official Beatles anniversary campaign was going on at this time, which included the 2009 remasters box set, an Apple-shaped USB drive containing the remasters, and The Beatles: Rock Band. The website includes a download link to the entire album on MP3.

The website was accompanied by a piece written by an anonymous person under the name "James Richards". Perhaps it is a pseudonym drawn from the legal first names of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, who were born James Paul McCartney and Richard Starkey.

In the story, Richards describes driving through the Del Puerto Canyon road in California, when he had to pull over to walk his dog. The dog begins to chase a rabbit, leading to Richards knocking himself unconscious after tripping over a literal rabbit hole.

He wakes up with a bandage on his head in the home of a man named Jonas. Jonas tells Richards that he found him 20 feet away, despite the location being desert beforehand. Slowly it dawns on Richards that he has woken up in a parallel universe. In this universe, ketchup is purple, cassette tapes are used rather than compact discs, and the Beatles never broke up. Jonas shows Richards his tape collection. Some of them are tapes of new Beatles albums, with one of them being Everyday Chemistry.

Jonas and Richards both discuss their enjoyment of the Beatles, and just before leaving the parallel universe and travelling back to his own, Richards steals the tape of Everyday Chemistry, despite certain assurances to Jonas.

Richards explains why the album sounds like mashups of the Beatles' solo work, stating that "even though in the alternate universe The Beatles hadn't broken up, that didn't mean their future music ideas disappeared".

The website also included photographs of the cassette tape and the location in which Richards went unconscious.
