BRILLIANT, BUY IT
It takes a great deal of effort to make something new and engaging, with truly new and unseen footage. This DVD manages that very well. There are UNSEEN clips, and there are short interview clips from Lennon. There is the rarest and most expensive footage of The Beatles - rumored to have cost the makers of this DVD half a million Dollars-and we get to see it in all its pristine glory, digitally enhanced. If you simply LOVE The Beatles, you'll love this.
RARE AND UNSEEN is a worthy contribution to their legacy. Who says so? Tony Barrow- the man who guided John, Paul, George and Ringo through the sixties and who wrote the sleeve notes- and he should know.
The earliest footage of the band, never released in this digitally enhanced form; the only footage left of them in Scotland; the only home movie of them shot by the band in Jersey (in colour); colour film on stage in Paris. Then throw in some of the best interviews ever- with the likes of Phil Collins, Steve Harley and Len Goodman; plus stalwarts like Tony Barrow and Tony Branwell, plus Norman Smith, and you have an entertaining 90 minutes. For real Beatles' fans this is as perfect as it gets.
Of course the program has its faults- but anyone with half a brain will understand that Apple own the rights to everything and therefore it is a minor miracle that this program reached the screen at all- and very good it is too.
Listen out for the brilliant original soundtrack, performed by Stripmusic and The Fore.
Buy it. Buy one for your children. Buy two for your grandchildren. Remember John. |
