Re: THE 6TH BEATLE (2016)

I'd never even heard of it before reading it here. From googling, it seems to have been shown at a Toronto film festival and seemingly barely since (if at all).

Re: Question about all the Lennon's 'Imagine' footage from 1971

I have been wondering, I have no idea why, if anyone knows where John stored the mountain of film filmed during the 'Imagine' sessions? AFAIK, other than the film they made at the time, the rest of it only started to surface long after he died. Was some of it shown in the 'Imagine' doc in 1988? It'...

Re: Has anyone watched Birth Of The Beatles on amazon?

The problem is that all versions are originally from a VHS source with a resolution of only 320*482. Presumably Amazon used a better SD source (Betamax 625/576i maybe?). I don't know. My registration is no good because my address is not in the UK. Otherwise, Amazon Prime videos can be downloaded us...

Re: Has anyone watched Birth Of The Beatles on amazon?

I might be crazy, but I feel like the Nimbus source is slightly higher quality, just has a bit more detail. speaking of Nimbus, currently working on remaster of it, attempting to bring up the quality without just removing all the noise or making too many artifacts... Going remove less noise in the ...

Re: Has anyone watched Birth Of The Beatles on amazon?

I have a 4gb mkv European version that looks slightly cleaner than the Smile DVD. It has all the extended aspects, aside from the opening and closing sequences that seem to be specific to the BBC/Prime version. I must have downloaded it from here, but who knows?

Re: Has anyone watched Birth Of The Beatles on amazon?

My attempt at 'remastering' this old movie, used the Smile DVD posted above just because I thought it looked the best I upscaled it, then resized to 1080, so sorry if you hate those black bars ! I also color corrected to remove a sorta green tint.. This is just the "I Want To Hold Your Hand&qu...

Re: Beatles Original Anthology TV Broadcasts

The excellent podcast Nothing Is Real is particularly strong on Anthology and Season 3 Episode 4 has more to say on this, not least that there were 6 1 hour UK episodes and that the 3 2 hour US episodes had less material to accommodate ads. It also talks about the scheduling, which was a mess.

Re: Has anyone watched Birth Of The Beatles on amazon?

Plus I’ve always been fascinated by the thought that John could have seen this. I don’t know of him ever referencing it, and he probably didn’t - but he COULD have. I wonder if he did see it. After all, he watched The Rutles film. If he saw it and didn't like it, you'd imagine we might know. It see...

Re: Has anyone watched Birth Of The Beatles on amazon?

So is this a legit offering or has someone just literally uploaded their old tape of the BBC showing with some AI adjustments? I find it hard to believe it is legit when it's not for sale on Itunes or any other platform. It sounds like a grey area release to me without any involvement from the prod...
