The Complete Beatles (Remade)

Here's something you might find interesting and worth a download. Here's a remade/remastered/reedited version of 'The Complete Beatles' documentary from 1982.
It was up on Vimeo for a while and I managed to download it from there before it was taken down by the Apple bonkers. After my first watch I was impressed by how well it had put been together using improved fidelty photos & footage. My only gripe was the person who made this, someone called Joe Anthony, inserted a photo of what was supposed to be John Lennon as a child at 5:51 that cleary wasn't John. Via Twitter I told him this. (You can see the remants of the post here: Most of it has gone now)
He did not believe me and was adamant that I was wrong and that was, in fact, a photo of John Lennon. When I insisted it wasn't he got rather abusive towards me, which was a great shame and I wasn't expecting it. I was telling him so he could maybe substitute it for a photo that was of John and he could reupload it. Anyway, his witter account has now gone. He couldn't even understand how I found his video. He himself posted about it on Twitter and I read the tweet! He said I wasn't allowed to watch his video anymore. I told him I already had and I'd downloaded it. It all got rather silly, I was trying to help and his reaction was totally over the top. I got the impression he may have been a kid.
Anyway, the original doc was 1:59:40 long. This version is 2:13:52 so it's been slightly extended too. A couple of times Joe obviously couldn't find exactly the same footage in higher quality that was used in the original. For example, the opening montage of Liverpool is different.
I thought Joe Anthony did a good job, which is why I'm offering it to all of you. If the link doesn't work at any point then it's just because the traffic has been too high, wait for a bit and try again later. I'll leave it up for a good while. Let me know what you think. It's not perfect but I enjoyed watching it.
