Loads of stuff really, I`ll give a quick List:

1/ Recollections-June 1994
The 3 Beatles in Paul's Kitchen Playing, singing, and taking a mind stroll down Memory lane.
2/ Compiling The Anthology
George ,Ringo, Sir Paul and Sir George at the Abbey Road studio detailing how they chose the tracks for the Anthology, George (M) Plays back the tape of the seminal First Take of `Day In The Life`. A bloody great little extra this!

3/ Back At Abbey Road- May 1995
They go back into studio 2 for a nose around and listen to some more Tracking tapes and waffle on about how the studio was then,

4/ Recording `Free as a Bird` and `Real Love`
A sort of Making off feature, how they lifted the two songs from John Lennon`s original Demo tapes, cleaned them up and added their own bits to the recordings. Quite interesting actually!

5/ Production Team.
Meet the Production Team and learn how they came to put the whole thing together.

6/ Making the `Free as A Bird` Video.
Joe Pytka (?) explains How the Video was made.

7/ `Real Love Video`
The entire Video that was not featured in the series, now re-mixed with 5.1 Surround sound.

Those who already have this set may have also noticed Loads of other stuff on the main features that were not included in the series also, I know,,coz I played my Old Recordings back about 2 months ago!.



Now,,that could have had someone's eye out!

....as Colinbell just said! Well explained that man!

Many thanks for that Colin ...i better start saving the pennies.

Have you read any decent books on "The Beatles?" I recently purchased a book by Peter Brown called "The Love You Make - An Insiders Story of The Beatles." If you haven`t read it, try to get a copy ....it`s an excellent read!! I have just managed to get a paperback copy of "The John Lennon and Yoko Ono - Play Boy Interviews."

Have read LOADS of decent books on THE BEATLES apart from THAT one; it`s difficult to get hold of. One of my favs is `The Man Who Gave The Beatles Away` by Allan Williams (Have it in both Hard Back and Paperback). I also have a great book that is Manly Photos, It`s HUGE and has a great print from `With The Beatles` on the front,,`SHOUT` is very very good and I prefer this book over Palmers `Official Biography', when Norman describes the Final roof top scene ( from `Let It Be`) he does it so well that your almost there! Feeling the cold breeze and drizzle on your face!
Alistair Taylor's Book "Yesterday and Today" is excellent also.

Everyone else included: Not got the Anthology yet??!!!,,,Like Gaz save your pennies, Flog your Gold teeth,,,Force Granny out on the streets,,,do what ever you have to do, but Get this Box set ASP, because If your Beatles Fan and you don`t , well, you might as well go and stick your system in the Bin!. LOL.

Now,,that could have had someone's eye out!

Thanks for the info about the books Colin. I got my copy via Amazon ...try this link: http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/0451207351/qid=1050497418/sr=1-3/ref=sr_1_0_3/202-7870405-9265405?tag=myrev09-21

Cheers for the link.
Fav. Beatles Album has to be the first! 'Please Please Me'. it is just so raw and so full of atmosphere, I get a real feeling of nostalgia that time shouldn`t allow me when I hear that!
Not got the Live at the BBC yet, though I have dropped enough hints to my missus and daughters for Fathers day! so who knows, I have heard it however, and it`s `Great` !!
Have you noticed how many `Let It Be` DVD`s there are now on Ebay? One person in UK has 14 for sale at £14.99 have emailed him for more details, he claims they are factory produced and the cover pic and picture on the disc looks impressive! They give the Email address as sdvdediwdlrow[at]moc.loa, if you're interested also.


Now,,that could have had someones eye out!

Colin,

My favourite Beatles c.d. tends to change from month to month ....i`m quite into the "White Albumn" at the moment .....and i am playing "Tomorrow Never Knows" from "Revolver" quite a lot .....probably one of my favourite tracks (it was way ahead of it`s time). "Please Please Me" is the wife`s fav albumn though!!

Thanks for the link.
