Initially broadcast as a TV miniseries to go with the series of threeAnthology double-CD albums, this set of eight documentary tapes has theheft and scope of one of KenBurns's expansive projects. Still, unless you are either a historian or atruly committed fan, you'll find yourself with way more material--particularlyabout the Beatles' early lives as lads in Liverpool--than you'll want to watch.The documentary material is copious, including early performance films andtapes, at the point before they found their true voices. The actual Beatlemaniayears--beginning in 1963 and concluding in 1970--feature extensive performancefilms, as well as home movies and archival material. The best parts, of course,are the interviews with the Beatles themselves, who produced the entire thing.Along with reworking two previously unreleased John Lennon tracks as 'newBeatles songs,' the Anthology includes some unseen Lennon interview tapesso that his acerbic voice can be heard as well. This stands as a comprehensivedocument of that heady period, the second coming of rock & roll, as the Beatlestook what Elvis had started and expanded upon it exponentially. The tapes give asolid sense of the historical context and the way these four musicians changedthe world around them in the 1960s. --Marshall Fine

Rating: - 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 ... Read More

Almost everything you want to know about The Beatles!!!! I am happy I have this anthology !!!
Rating: - 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.
Rating: - 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comments could come only from video tapes and recordings.Time appears to have healed all wounds between the others and been replaced by nostalgia and the good fellowship of old mates.The music videos were 15 years ahead of their time and great fun to relive.
Rating: - 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.
