Title: Promo Films?
Post by: Mellotroniac on September 25, 2008, 05:57:19 PM
I have the Anthology DVD's, but I am still not satisfied with the Promo films, I had hoped that they would be a special feature all by themselves, and not segue into the rest of the documentary. Is there just a DVD of their Promo films? e.g. Rain, Strawberry Fields Forever, Hello Goodbye. All the internet clips are very low quality I have found, extremely compressed, low bitrate, and fuzzy.

I think there is a bootleg series of the Anthology series. That might be better. I think Al (The End) has it. Maybe we could persuade him to make it available! :)

You mean the Director's Cut. I have it too. It contains some extra's (though I should watch it again to tell you exactly what!  ;D I think there is a thread on it somewhere). There's dvd's with their promo's as well. Ask Sandra for more details. And I remember that we discussed something similar a couple of years ago. I will have to do some digging if I got some spare time.

Wow--for years I have been dying to own all the Beatles' promo videos on DVD.  (Yet another missed opportunity for slow Apple, eh?)  I had no idea these "Chronology" DVD's existed.  They are so expensive but they would be fun to own someday.
