The Beatles "1" DVD/Blu Ray Release - November 2015
kylenz:
Just found out about this and I'm so excited! This will be a day one purchase for sure. All their official promotional videos plus heaps of extras have been painstakingly restored (and even mastered in 4K resolution!) and will be due for release in November. Here's some information on it (including the tracklistings) - http://www.masslive.com/entertainment/index.ssf/2015/09/the_beatles_to_release_1960s_m.html
and here are some tasters for the videos - here's the official trailer:

and here's another trailer showing the restoration process (pretty cool) -

Can't wait for this to be released! What next for the wishlist? Let It Be and totally uncut? :-X :D

That's pretty cool. 8) I'd like to see the complete rooftop show restored with extra bits. :)

Yes! Me too, I'd love to see that. Must be a full-time round the clock gig being a Beatles archivist, restoring all these films frame-by-frame. The only thing that disappoints me about this particular collection, is the creation of new footage that has nothing to do with the song being played. For instance, there's a video for 'Eight Days A Week', cobbled from live footage from the Shea Stadium film - yet they did not actually play that particular song at that concert! Also, the way the discs have been spread out, I would prefer if they just ran ALL the videos from disc-to-disc in proper chronological order. It makes no sense to me to have Paperback Writer, Penny Lane on one disc, but Rain and Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day in the Life etc split onto a separate bonus disc.
But of course it makes total sense if you think with a business head and the shrewd/annoying trend of carving these releases up into various 'Deluxe Editions', which I'm sure we are all at the end of our tether with. Why can't they just release everything they have all in one hit? I can't see a market for those that only want one disc of video material. Casual fans would probably not buy it. Then again, maybe they would..
(..do people actually buy physical dvds/discs anymore?)

Somebody must since they have no problem producing them. I mean..what was the last thing I bought on DVD? Probably a comedy show. I think. The internet has everything. I still look at all my albums and wonder if I'll ever play them again. I would never buy this set though I'd like to see it once. Once isn't going to make me spend money on it. :P
Greg:
That restored stuff is unreal. Really good.
But I'll bet that next year we'll see:
"New! See the videos as The Beatles originally intended! The completely original videos in their classic original state! See these videos as they were seen by those who were there. Unrestored! Get yours today!"
