Everyday Chemistry is an "unreleased" studio album by The Beatles that came into the possession of an unnamed person identified only by the pseudonym "James Richards", under mysterious circumstances after crossing to a parallel world where The Beatles never broke up.
Everyday Chemistry is a
remix album of unknown authorship that was made available as a free digital download on September 9, 2009.
It
mashes up various songs from
the Beatles' individual solo careers, intending to present an album that the members would have recorded had they not
broken up.
Fictional context
The album was accompanied by a story written by an anonymous person under the pen name "James Richards".
Richards describes meeting a man named of Jonas who lives both in the real world and a
parallel universe in which the Beatles never broke up.
Jonas and Richards both discussed their enjoyment of the Beatles.
In return, Jonas gave Richards a
cassette tape containing one of their albums from that imagined timeline.
Richards denied that the album was composed of mashups, reasoning that "even though in the alternate universe the Beatles hadn't broken up, that didn't mean their future music ideas disappeared."
