[.ca] The Beatles: Big Beat Box

...DVD:
This DVD is an absolute waste of time and money; I literally cannot believe the list retail price for this. The package consists of a 50 minute DVD montage of the poorest quality newsreel footage of the Beatles, made poorer by single tone color tinting, plus a CD collection of Beatles songs (some written by the Beatles, others they did memorable covers of) that are performed by "The Overtures and others." Several of these same selections are played on the audio track of the DVD newsreel montage, especially an alleged "lost Lennon song" called "In Spite of All the Danger" which is played numerous times on the soundtrack itself!!! ...? As for the DVD itself, the montage of newsreel footage is of the poorest quality - both sound and picture - imaginable. ... The sound quality of the interviews - what few there are - is equally poor. There was one segment of the Beatles at an airport for a 5 minute press conference where you could barely hear the questions being asked, or the responses. Everything for which DVD technology was invented, you will NOT get with this DVD.<....

no stars at all,....alias zero !:
it is not different,..you can buy the cd's in your local stores! what a boring released it is! only old footage , interviews with the fans but no music from the band! you check out Deep purple, or led zeppelin DVD collections are much much better than this one!

Why does this keep happening??:
I have never seen this film. The horrible reviews were enough to keep me away. But I will say this: seems like every year some poor, pathetic creature attempts to cash in on the Beatles' popularity. First came Alone and Together, then Alf Bicknell's Beatles Diary, Celebration, Love Me Do, the Big Beat Box...you get the picture. I'd have a great DVD collection were it not plagued with bad Beatles films! Every now and again there's a break (like Anthology or the First US Visit) but on the whole, there is a dark cloud of unauthorized, lousy material that keeps coming out. Somebody should do something about this.

Qué pérdida:
Considero que los reponsable de la edición de este DVD se burlaron de la gente. Por más fanático que uno sea de The Beatles no justifico la compra de un documental sin ningún comentario, calidad de video horrible y con una banda sonora que no es ejecutada por la banda original ¿En qué estaban pensando?

This is total garbage, and a waste of time do not buy it:
This DVD is not worth your time or money.
