Rating: - Beatles Anthology is the BEST DVD of all time!
Yes, it is true. The Beatles Anthology is THE VERY BEST DVD release of all time. There is no question about this one; it truly deserves to belong in every DVD and Beatles home library. The picture is the best I have ever seen (only slightly better than the laserdisc version, and far superior to the VHS issue); sound quality is, undoubtedly, the finest there has ever been. The packaging perfectly compliments the discs which are contained inside. With this variation of the Anthology series, now available, people who have seen it can now see it in a whole new light. And for those folks that have not witnessed it as of yet, then they are in for a real treat. Of course; this review comes from a screening of the DVD that I only borrowed. I, myself, do NOT currently own my own copy of this program in this format, just yet. I only have it on both VHS and laserdisc. By owning it on DVD will help to make this collection complete!
Rating: - At last Ladies and Gentlemans THE ANTHOLOGY ON DVD
One of the greatest new realeses of the year, at last, the Beatles Anthology on DVD, presented in 5.1 and DTS with the picture quality enhanced, all the eight legendary original videos on 4 discs plus a bonus dvd with more Anthology (approx 50 minutes) of rare and never before seen footage.
Full with extras, I own the collection on VHS and Laser Disc but i can't wait for the great quality of DVD, and the best of all a really great price.
A must have for everyone, beatles lovers and music lovers over the world
Rating: - If You Liked The TV Special, You'll Love This!
This video series is highly recommended for any serious Beatle fan! While I agree that you can't say it all in just 8 hours, all 4 beatles share stuff you won't find in any book on the Beatles. Tape 1 begins with a video collage of their history, features their youthful beginnings, days in Hamburg, how Ringo joined the band, and their rise to the top in England. Tape 2 shows their growth as a band, talks on their BBC sessions, performing for the Queen, stories about touring, and some hilarious TV segments! Tape 3 begins with their introduction into America, talks about their performance on the Ed Sullivan Show, Ringo's tonsilitis, and their 1st movie A Hard Day's Night. Tape 4 talks about the pressures of touring, drugs, Dylan, the making of Help!, the inspiration for Yesterday, and winning the MBE award. Tape 5 talks about their Shea Stadium performance, meeting Elvis, Rubber Soul and Revolver. Tape 6 talks on the events that led to the Beatles' final tour in 1966 (the Philippines and John's remarks about Jesus), Strawberry Fields Forever, Penny Lane,Sgt. Pepper, and their holiday in Greece. Tape 7 starts with the One World performance of "All You Need Is Love", and talks about the Maharishi, the death of Brian Epstein, Magical Mystery Tour, the opening of Apple, Yellow Submarine, and John's new companion, Yoko Ono. Tape 8 begins with the White Album, discusses the closing and dissolution of Apple, Hey Jude, Let It Be, Paul's marriage to Linda, John's marriage to Yoko, George and John's drug busts, Abbey Road, and the Free As a Bird video (what? Real Love isn't included! ). A splendid time is guaranteed for all!
