THE BEATLES
THE BEATLES ANTHOLOGY ON DVD
On March 31st, eight years after The Beatles themselves told the
story of the world's greatest rock and roll band in The Beatles
Anthology, EMI will release the complete work on DVD - but now
featuring the final chapter; never-released footage of the last
jam session of Paul, George and Ringo, playing non-Beatles material.
The Beatles Anthology DVD boxset features all of the original eight
episodes that candidly reveal the story of how the four lads
from Liverpool changed everything. The Beatles Anthology was shown in
1995, when John, Paul, George and Ringo told The
Beatles' story for the first time. At that time the Anthology project
caused a worldwide sensation as it launched a TV series, three
double-CD sets that each topped the album charts in the USA, plus
Free As A Bird and Real Love - the first new Beatles
recordings in 25 years. All 10 hours of the original Anthology series
will now be released across four DVD discs, plus an additional
disc with 81 minutes of Special Features. Nearly all of the material
included on this 5th disc has never been seen before.
For years, rumour has been rife among fans of the existence of
intimate footage of Paul, George and Ringo jamming together
during breaks in the making of the Anthology. This session and others
were filmed over a 12-month period when the three Beatles
met in private and at Abbey Road studios. It includes the trio warmly
remembering personal moments from their early days,
reflecting on how they made their music and footage of them shot in
the studio as they recorded Free As A Bird and Real Love.
David Munns of EMI Recorded Music said: "We are really pleased to be
releasing The Beatles Anthology, which tells the story of
their lives and careers in the medium of DVD. This was always a great
series and the Special Features Disc will be a huge
addition to the collection of any music lover and Beatles fan - it
provides an intimate and fascinating chapter to the story that
continues to captivate the world."
Technically, the DVDs offer a spectacular audio/visual experience,
featuring re-graded picture quality and new audio mastering
including 5.1-surround sound and a new stereo PCM soundtrack.
The Beatles Anthology DVD will be released in North America on
Tuesday, April 1, 2003.
