It’s the fall, so it’s time for Beatlemania.
COming November 29th to Disney Plus is a new documentary produced by Martin Scorsese called “Beatles ’64.”
At the same time, we’re getting a box set of vinyl editions of the 2009 Beatles Mono Box set of CDs. That mono box is still quite stunning — if you don’t have it, get it.
The Mono vinyl set includes Meet The Beatles!; The Beatles’ Second Album; A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Sound Track); Something New; The Beatles’ Story (2LP); Beatles ’65; and The Early Beatles. They’ve been out of print since the 60s!
I’ll get the box just for Beatles ’65!
The documentary is directed by David Tedeschi, with technology from Peter Jackson, of course. There are new interviews with Paul and Ringo. The film includes rare footage filmed by pioneering documentarians Albert and David Maysles. The live performances from The Beatles first American concert at the Washington, DC Coliseum and their Ed Sullivan appearances were demixed by WingNut Films and remixed by Giles Martin.
