Everyday Chemistry

Everyday Chemistry is a remix album that was made available as a free digital download on 9 September 2009. The album was released along with a story of anonymous authorship. It mashes up various songs from the Beatles' individual solo careers, including tracks from 27 albums. The album portrays itself as being taken from an alternate universe in which the Beatles had not broken up.

Context
The album was first posted on the website thebeatlesneverbrokeup.com, accompanied by a short story written by an anonymous person under the pen name "James Richards" (a pseudonym drawn from the legal first names of Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, the two surviving Beatles, who were born James Paul McCartney and Richard Starkey respectively). Richards describes meeting a man named Jonas who lives in a parallel universe in which the Beatles never broke up. Jonas and Richards both discussed their enjoyment of the Beatles, and just before leaving the parallel universe and traveling back to his own, Richards stole a cassette tape containing one of The Beatles' albums from that 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".

Critical reception
The album was received well by listeners. On Rate Your Music, which assigns a rating out of 5 to reviews from users, the album received a score of 3.35, based on 195 reviews.
