The Beatles 1 Video Collection Restoration Trailer

THE BEATLES’ VIDEOS AND TOP HITS COME TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME

All-New Editions of The Beatles 1 Pair Beautifully Restored Promotional Films and Videos with Brand New Stereo and Surround Audio Mixes

Beatles 1+ Deluxe Edition Celebrates the Sight & Sound of The Beatles in 50 Films & Videos

London – September 15, 2015 – After The Beatles stopped touring, and because travelling around the globe to promote new releases was impossible, the band increasingly made what could be described as “mini movies”. These pioneering promotional films and videos helped to define the way we have come to watch music, not least because The Beatles approached filming with the same ease and innovative spirit they brought to the recording studio, exploring new creative possibilities with infectious delight. Showcasing the band’s filmed work to accompany their 27 No.1, U.K. and U.S. singles, The Beatles 1 is newly restored and expanded in multiple configurations for global release on November 6 by Apple Corps Ltd/UMG.

The 27-track CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray pairs beautifully restored videos for each song, with new stereo and 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS HD surround audio mixes. The brand new Beatles 1+ celebrates their career in over 200 minutes through 50 promotional films and videos. This includes the 27 No.1s, with the restored videos, along with a second disc of 23 videos, including alternate versions, as well as rarely seen and newly restored films and videos; all include new audio mixes in deluxe CD/2-DVD and CD/2-Blu-ray packages. The 27-track audio CD is also being made available with new stereo mixes. A 2 LP, 180-gram vinyl package will follow.

The new editions of The Beatles 1 have been made possible following extensive research, and restoration of the original promo films, classic television appearances and other carefully selected videos spanning the band’s history. Apple Corps dug deep into The Beatles’ vaults to select a broad range of films and videos for their rarity, historical significance and quality of performance. An 18-person team of film and video technicians and restoration artists was assembled by Apple Corps to undertake painstaking frame-by-frame cleaning, colour-grading, digital enhancement and new edits that took months of dedicated, ‘round-the-clock work to accomplish.

The result is a visual run down of The Beatles’ number one records, as well as the additional tracks on the bonus disc of Beatles 1+ that show the band in previously unseen standards of clarity and quality; many of the films and videos have never before been commercially released, in whole or in part.

Beatles 1 and Beatles 1+ offers the restored films, including 35mm negatives scanned in 4K and digitally restored with new stereo and 5.1 surround audio remixes, produced from the original analogue tapes by the GRAMMY® winning team of Giles Martin with Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios. For four of the videos, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have provided exclusive audio commentary and filmed introductions, respectively. The 1+ Deluxe Edition, presented in an expanded 124-page illustrated hardcover book includes ‘an appreciation’ of The Beatles’ ground-breaking films and videos by music journalist and author Mark Ellen and extensive, detailed track/video annotation by music historian and author Richard Havers.

“These videos and films are spectacular reminders of the era we lived in. They also rock!” – Paul McCartney

"I think it’s really interesting to see the videos we made, some of them incredible and some of them really incredible. How else would we have got to sit on a horse?" – Ringo Starr

Between 1962 and 1970, The Beatles released 27 No.1 hit singles in the U.S. and the U.K. In 2000, these timeless songs were collected for The Beatles 1, which topped the charts in 35 countries and became that decade’s bestselling album worldwide. 15 years later, 1 is revisited for this entirely new, visually-inspired presentation.

It’s The Beatles, as you’ve never seen them before.

I have always loved the Beatles. Their music and songs have caused me to sing and dance. They have encouraged me a lot and I appreciate everything they do.

[LanceTOsborne]

WELL DONE APPLE! I know we fans may have had some grievances with past releases, but this is absolutely top notch. Even the price seems reasonable. Can't wait!

[PogieJoe]

Oh my god yes! We've been asking for this forever!

[patjepatatje]

Fantastic! Will surely buy the blu ray vrsion. The music of this band is eternal. Sure people in the next centuries still will discover their timeless pieces!
I just miss "I Am The Walrus", I know it was a single b-side, but such a great great song!

[shaenebuffster]

[tiffanyvictoriaporchiazzo]

Oh this is the best commercial! #💓 💜 💓 💞 💝 💘

[abbeyrd]

Yes Finally ! it is about Time 😀 Made my Day !

[TheChrisvladi]

it was time, this is the best news of 2015, now only lack LET IT BE, THE BEATLES the best band in the whole apple thanks!!!

[astrosjer]

Hip hip hoorah. Now "Let it Be" on blu ray?

[theethdoctor]

God, I wish the STONES would do this! I love the Beatles, and I'll buy it, but I really wish the Stones would also do a complete Video anthology from the 60's until their latest promos...on BluRay of course, also it would be awesome to see FLOYD do a complete Video anthology. Zep's my fav band of alltime, but Zep never really had all that many promo videos out there to begin with - not like Floyd who were such a visual band, or the Stones who were always aggressively promoting themselves. I know the Floyd did the deluxe box sets in the past few years, but to have ALL their videos together in one organized collection, and in BluRay quality, and not missing early videos, etc;Really the Beatles have been represented here very nicely...a shame the others don't follow suit.   DOC ; )-

[arthurs]

Bought the 1+ Blu Ray set.  It is excellent.  Thank you.

[danielbeller]

This is amazing, although I have so many VHS bootlegs from back in 1980's....

[patsypatootsie]

OH. MY. GOD. I JUST CAN'T WAIT ANY LONGER

[Jethrofinger]

I guess I'll get it. These videos haven't been together on a set like this, except maybe the Anthology mini-series. I was really thinking Shea Stadium would get a DVD release given the 50th but it looks like it won't. As much as I would like to see it happen, I'm not holding my breath for an official DVD release of Let It Be.

[dovestones]

I'm going to get this purely for that animated Come Together video.

[AllusernamesgoneFUCK]

lol, those black and white concert videos were on here a few months ago and then they were all taken down. Now I know why! Thank goodness though, they were terrible quality.

They played a medley on some pop show, like four songs connected it was really cool. I wish it was on here

[WesleyWhiteside]

The unrestored footage is just filters over the restored footage.

[dydy]

Do you guys have a version without any yoko in it?
