Due for release on 06/06/2006
Review
This exclusive DVD gives a rare glimpse into the lives of The Beatles prior to their meteoric rise to fame in the early 1960s through to the height of their fame and success in the late 1960s.
It takes you behind the scenes with the people who were there; Tony Sheridan and Ray Young, musicians who shared the stage with them in Hamburg at the famous Star Club and Kaiser Keller; Victor Spinnetti recalls the making of Help and A Hard Day's Night; in a rare interview he talks of the creativity of John and Paul during the filming; Rare news footage shows the Beatles receiving their Silver Hearts and OBE's, both occasions marked as always by John's razor sharp wit; Interviews with them during the record burning sessions in America post John's infamous "bigger than Jesus" remark.
Along with archive news footage of the time showing the effect they were having all over the world!
Fascinating DVD giving rare insights into the beginnings of the most influential and popular band in the whole history of popular music- no, not the Morton Fraser Harmonica Gang or Neville Wanker And the Punters, one is of course talking about the Beatles, the Fab Four themselves. This documentary takes you back to late 50s/early 60s Liverpool and Hamburg, and interviews with their colleagues Tony Sheridan and Ray Young: through the 60s and the filming of their first movies with actor Victor Spinetti, also interviewed here: news footage of the soon-to-be-regretted OBE ceremony, and the infamous 'Beatle Burning' of 1966 that took place as a kneejerk dimwitted reaction to not listening properly to what Lennon said on US radio. Detailed footage is also included of the recent tour by Sheridan, Young and Howie Casey as the Beat Brothers, who in 2004 toured Europe and gave people a second taste of that old Star Club atmosphere: showing once again that the legacy of the band lives on in so may unexpected ways. No band or musician, with the exception of Elvis Presley ever had or will have the same impact that the Beatles had: this DVD tells you exactly what it was like to be there at the time, from the mouths of those who were. Fab..
