Why yes, of course I’m going to be watching the new Beatles documentary when it drops next Friday! I’ve read that a good portion of the footage used was from the Maysles Brothers’ 1964 documentary What’s Happening! The Beatles in the USA (re-edited and released years later in 1991 as The Beatles’ First US Visit, which I highly recommend) and run through Peter Jackson’s demixermajiggy and newly mixed by Giles Martin. Looking forward to it!

And no, I’m actually not buying the 1964 US Albums in Mono vinyl set because, well…I just don’t have a turntable these days. [I know, I know…but you’ve already heard my reasoning behind that.] That, and I already have these from the Capitol Albums CD box sets from 2004/6 that already include the mono versions. I’ll just wait for next year’s Beatle deluxe edition, if there is one!
