Eleanor Rigby (Strings Only)

This instrumental arrangement of The Beatles' classic 'Eleanor Rigby' appears on the 'Anthology (Part 2)' compilation, offering a stripped-back perspective on their iconic 1966 composition.

Released decades later, this version provides listeners with a fresh appreciation of the song's underlying emotional resonance and its enduring place in rock history.
