Others say...
"Beatles Anthology" Thanks so much--this was perfect. Just what I wanted and expected and at a very fair and reasonable price. Timely delivery as well. Great transaction.
"If you're a big Beatles fan..." I purchased this documentary on VHS when it first came out (for about $100! ) so that should tell you how I feel about it! If you are a big fan (big- not "moderate" or "casual") you'll eat this up. Besides the early never before heard recordings, photos, performances, and interviews, the stories told by the Beatles and their close associates are just fascinating. And what's great (and pretty funny also) is that they don't always have the same opinions or recollections on events surrounding the band. For example, it seems apparent that George Harrison disliked Beatlemania but Ringo sounds like he really enjoyed it. Also, it's great to learn that despite the eventual acrimony they were very close to one another, something else that makes this worth watching. The last few chapters kind of bum me out because of the dissension and eventual breakup, but you'll get an insight as to why it happened and I think come to realize it was their only option. The added disc has special features about the making of the documentary and accompanying videos that will also be devoured by "big" fans. If you're near my age, 50, it will bring back great memories of a great time and answer all the questions you ever had about the Beatles, The most enjoyment a Beatle fan can have for $49.95. Highly recommended.
"Enjoyable to watch and learn about the Beatles" Since purchasing this set, I have watched it through twice and some parts three or more times. It is both entertaining and gives a good overview of Beatles music. The real strength of this set is the range of music it includes and the very fine video from televised performances, newsconferences, reporting, documentaries, etc. The film clips are very good. I also liked the special features extremely well, particularly the feeling of the remaining Beatles (three at that time) about arranging and recording John's "Free As A Bird" and "Real Love" tapes.
The film gives only a very general chronology. It also addresses some controversies in passing, but the main focus is on the music and the sensation that resulted from it as well as recording the individual personalities of The Beatles. Ringo probably talks more and is more open in the interviews on this series than I have ever seen him.
I found that the series fed my desire to explore specific topics of Beatles history including the Hamburg experience, Stu Sutcliffe, Pete Best, Brian Epstein, George Martin and Goeff Emerick at EMI studios; Cynthia Lennon and Yoko Ono. So, it's not the whole story, but the central portion of it--the boys themselves and as musicians. And I take it as a very strong complement to these materials that I was encouraged to look deeper.
"A "MUST" for any Beatles fan!!!" I bought this anthology as a present for my dad who is, still, the greatest Beatles fan in the world. He really wanted to see some live concerts, but I wasn't sure whether these DVDs would satisfy his curiosity. I watched the 5 DVDs with my dad and they were unbelievably entertaining. They present the Beatles in a new light - these guys were very funny and easy going. It was a pleasure to follow their career from the very beginning! The DVDs contain live concerts, interviews and personal footage. A MUST HAVE!!!
"Beatles Anthology" Boyfriend loved it. Nearly fanatic Beatle fan and this really worked for him and I found myself watching it much longer than I'd have expected. it's very interesting. Lisa

What our customer's say!
"Horrible stuff.", This stuff will give your children nightmares. Not only are the lyrics dumb, the musicians are amateurs. The melodies are "okay," however, they are overly simplistic in most cases. I can't recommend this stuff to my worse enemy except the people who post replies to my reviews. I do recommend LP's by columbia or Reader's Digest records of Ravel, Debussy, Brahms, Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, Handel, Mozart, and others of that school. Most of all, I recommend Wagner for true grandeur.
"END ALL ARGUMENT AS TO WHO WAS THE BEST BAND EVER!", More than 30 years after their demise as a band, the Beatles keep setting records. (though it was 25 years when the Anthology was released)
When the Anthology was first aired, right after, in one day 450,000 albums of Anthology 1 were sold, the most albums EVER sold in one day. (and it wasn't cheap, either) There was the audio version of the Anthology first, and each one cost...was it $30? Something like that, but they had a LOT of songs on each disc. Then the video Anthology finally came out on VHS. Then the Anthology coffee table book. Finally, the DVD version you will buy. Amazing, when you think of it. As you get into this you will see that the Beatles did this with as much class and integrity as they did everything else they ever did. A good example is the Free As A Bird video. One of the coolest videos ever, it has lots of hidden references to their songs and story. (There is also a lot of humor from the Beatles as it all unfolds)
The song "Free As A Bird" won a Grammy in 1997, and the video also won a Grammy. The Beatles thus break further ground being a band with a long deceased member who still charts in the top 10... 25 years after disbanding, and winning top awards.
"Real Love," the single, reached #4 and #11 in the UK and US singles charts respectively and earned a gold record faster than a number of the group's other singles.
These examples illustrate in just a small way the colossal impact this 4 piece group had on music and modern culture. As Mick Jagger admitted, "People today can't realize just how huge and untouchable the Beatles were in the 60s."(sic) He called them a "four headed giant."
A great visual of how overwhelming their fame became is at the beginning of each episode when you see them playing real clear and well, and then they are drowned out by human screams that sound like a thousand jet engines, and then the camera fades back and the gigantic Beatles "drop-t" logo dwarfs them until they are no longer even visible within the monster they created. This is a large part of the point of their story. They considered themselves just a great little rock band that was admittedly greater than the sum of it's parts. This is that story, told by themselves.
My Dad told me that The Beatles took so much money out of the USA, that it scared the United States Government. They were very wealthy within a year or two of conquering America, and that's without the money they SHOULD have gotten from their publishing, and England had something like a 98% tax!!! That they were so rich they could lock down the world's greatest recording studio at will for indeterminate time, when studio time was HUGELY EXPENSIVE, shows what they were worth.
Other bands all over the world stood in despair every time the Beatles released a new record because each one was a dramatic and devastating departure from what they (or anyone) had done before. No one could even think of keeping up, though they tried, and that includes the Rolling Stones, who, while great, were in a very deep shadow. This became especially true by the time of Rubber Soul and onward.
The thing that the videos show and it shows in an even more astonishing way if you dig into the literature, is how hard and non-stop these young guys worked. They did all the right things, led every step of the way, and seemingly effortlessly changed everything. If you consider that they released 2 albums and 3 singles per year, on top of endless television appearances, tours and recording sessions, they rarely had a day off for years. On the outside, we don't realize that often times they would finish work on a classic album, and if not the next day, within days they were working on the NEXT classic album. And during all this incredible activity, they found time to write tons of timeless classics and create innovative recording techniques that forever changed the way records were recorded, down to this day, and with the help of their ingenius Abbey Road staff, came up with new sounds and gadgets such as flanging, artificial double tracking, using Leslie speakers for vocals, locking up several 4 track recorders in sync, etc. The list goes on. And the modern music lover should be made to understand that back in those days, you couldn't just turn on a keyboard and get endless weird sounds like you can now, if they wanted something different (and they did, for every song) they had to somehow create something new from what they had.
There is a lot more that the Anthology covers, but other reviews have gone into that in depth. My aim is to show why there even IS an anthology of 10 DVDs on a rock group. Does anyone else have a legacy or a story to match this? Nope.
Buy the Anthology, also buy the book, it's got a whole different bunch of stuff and photos that the Anthology doesn't have time to cover, it's a great set overall. Also, a major point is that you get to hear alternate versions of almost every song that is included, songs that are drilled into the brains of everyone all over the world, and it's interesting to hear the evolution of these masterpieces.
After you watch this, I'll bet you go and start a band...... D. Coyer
"The Beatles Anthology ", Almost everything you want to know about The Beatles!!!! I am happy I have this anthology !!!
"as promised", set came in the original box in mint condition and the best thing of course is the content... hours of Beatles thoughts, images and music.
"Only complaint - not long enough!", Seriously, I could have watched 20 hours of this fascinating documentary. Sad that John's comments could come only from video tapes and recordings. Time appears to have healed all wounds between the others and been replaced by nostalgia and the good fellowship of old mates. The music videos were 15 years ahead of their time and great fun to relive.

"This!!!! should have been called "The Complete Beatles"", I remember in the 80's the vhs documentary called "The comlpete Beatles" which was only two hours. then in 1995 we had the privilege of seeing the the three night documentary of Anthology which wetted our lips a bit , especially with new Beatle songs to come with it. So I hev been in a Beatles faze recently ,so after two years of thinking about this release , I decided this past Sat. to finally purchase this set on Dvd. I decided to watch a chapter a day so i wouldn't cram it all in and get bored , so that sat night I watched part one of the DVD , then Sunday morning I stared with part two and just kept going because I could not get enough. Now I have finished watching the set , and I still want more. This is more complete of a history on the band that the actual titled "Complete Beatles" will ever be. I will cherish this set for as long as I live.
"beatles", We enjoyed these dvds, we found out a lot of things we didn't know about them
"Essential document.", Everyone alive should see this essential document of the Earth-changing event that was The Beatles.
"Beatles Anthology Review", This series was done under the supervision of the surviving Beatles at the time (mid 90's) and is basically the story of The Beatles from their perspective. There are lots of interviews with Paul, George, and Ringo with footage from interviews with John. There is a lot of insight into why things happened the way they did. (i.e. their decision to stop touring, Brian Epstein's death, etc.) It starts from their Liverpool roots and follows their fame to Abbey Road. There is lots of excellent footage and I was particularly pleased that they included the "videos" that the band created some twenty years ahead of MTV. Because of the involvment of the surviving Beatles in the production, some of the conflict that happened within the band isn't mentioned or is mentioned briefly. The strongest things about this series are the interviews and the music. I highly recommend it, especially if you're a Beatles fan.
"Excellent!!!", This CD set looked like it was Brand New! The seller sent it immediately and my husband loves it!
