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.

The deluxe edition is 60 bucks on Amazon. That's not too bad for 2 Blu-rays a CD and a book.

But I really wish they'd just done the whole albums this way. Maybe that's in the future.

Makes me more hopeful for Anthology getting a Blu now.

Yeah, but it's The Beatles man! The greatest band in rock 'n Roll!

never understood why Please Please Me was left off the collection, it was a #1

And if anyone disagrees, well, they're just wrong.

Deluxe edition for me

It comes down to a technicality - at the time of release music publications compiled their own sales charts, and even though several had it at #1 the one that became the modern-day UK chart had it peak at #2. I'm fully with you though in that I personally think it had a place on the set, it's a great song and much better than the boring Love Me Do.

But will Let it Be ever see the light of day?

[JeffTheMovieGuy]

Yeah that's not bad for 2 Blu-rays and a CD.

[Scarface32]

Kinda disappointed that the theatrical movies don't appear to be on this.

Yes, but way back in the sixties they were a group that played pop, in the UK anyway

They played "beat music" in the UK – That's why they picked the name The Beatles.

[Dragun]

If these promo videos were shot for British TV, were they shot at 25fps? Or were they shot at 24fps?

[megafan2000]

I'm getting this regardless because it's the freaking Beatles, but am I understanding this right that this is a brand new 2015 master of the songs on the CD? I know they remastered the 27 songs for the original release of 1 in 2000 and remastered all Beatles songs for the 2009 mono/stereo box (1 was re-released with the remasters in 2011).

Not many people called it beat music, & then that was the very early sixties. The (rather pointless) point I'm making is that in the sixties in the UK, it was groups playing pop (even the Stones), & never bands playing rock.

Forty quid, ouch! I already have the CD's, I'll wait. Great timing for the Christmas pressy market.

I'm sitting here listening to The White Album as I type this. Sexy Sadie says I need to get this. I'm all in.

[Rizor]

Hopefully the video quality is okay on these. The restorations of "Help!" and "Magical Mystery Tour" were shit.
