Paul has spoken exclusively to Uncut about the forthcoming new edition of The Beatles 1. The Beatles 1+ compiles 50 promotional films and
videos. These ‘mini movies’ were recorded by the band after the stopped
touring and gave fans around the world the chance to see The Beatles at
work and play. As Paul explains, some of the promotional material was recorded purely by chance. “We’ve got all visuals associated with the hits on the album, 1,” he
tells us. “All the music videos, and where there isn’t a music video –
they’ve made some up! Which is brilliant. They’ve found footage.” “‘Hey, Bulldog’ is to die for, as my wife would
say,” Paul continues. “It’s great, because there happened to be a
camera crew there filming The Beatles at EMI while we were doing ‘Lady Madonna’.
They were going to film a little bit of that, but they stayed and we
got onto ‘Hey, Bulldog’. It’s great, and it all fits with the record
because they filmed the take we used.” Essentially a restored and expanded update of The Beatles’ 1 compilation from 2000, the 200-minute The Beatles 1+
includes the band’s 27 No 1 singles, 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/2DVD and CD/2Blu-ray packages. The original
27-track audio CD is also being made available with new stereo mixes.They will be released on November 6 by Apple Corps Ltd/UMG. A 2LP, 180-gram vinyl package will follow. The footage was scanned in high-def 4K and the audio restored from the original analogue tapes at Abbey Road Studios by Giles Martin. Paul and Ringo have provided exclusive audio commentary and filmed introductions respectively. The Beatles 1 [CD; DVD; Blu-ray; CD/DVD; CD/Blu-ray]DISC 1 AUDIO (CD) + DISC 1 VIDEO (DVD or Blu-ray)
