Has the complete Apple Records promotional film from 1968 -- the one featuring Paul rehearsing "Blackbird" and Mary Hopkin singing "Morning Of My Life" in Paul's garden next to Martha, the sheepdog -- ever circulated in decent quality? I know we have just the "Blackbird" footage in much better quality these days, but I am looking for the full Apple promo with Mary's garden performance.

For reference, the film I am talking about can be seen here in horrible quality:

Yes, but with a REVOLVER TV watermark

Thank you! That was fast.

The watermark is annoying, but I mostly wanted it for Mary Hopkin's unique performance, and fortunately the watermark is not too distracting due to the colors blending together. And the audio is much better, too!

Yeah unfortunately the higher quality watermark-less version of the Mary Hopkin segment is unbootlegged and in the trading circles.

Apple did release a little bit of officially though in this video
(Go to the 6:07 point)

Definitely the best quality available, covers up the watermark with the VHS source!
