The HD video quality of some of these looks amazing, eg Paperback Writer. Blu-ray edition definitely the one to get!

About time too!

It looks fantastic. Mojo seem to be saying 50 films plus the 27 tracks on "1" - so that's 77 in all. Must include most, if not all, of the sequences from their movies, I suppose. Maybe some live performances too, with the studio audio dubbed over the top?

Scrub what I just said - I've just seen the track listing. It's 50 in total - the 27 film clips matching the CD, and then 23 more, all of which seem to be promo films, not extracts from their movies. ("Rain", "Strawberry Fields", "Day in the Life", "Free as a Bird" and so on.) see here

Wait there are 7 editions???

And to get all the videos you need to buy the "Limited Edition 1 CD + 2 Blu-ray Deluxe Edition".

I just looked at Amazon UK and even they have got confused with what is going on:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/1CD-2Blu-Ray-Deluxe-Limited-Edition/dp/B01576X9J0

Is it an Audio CD box set or a DVD or Blu-ray?

It's everything and anything, depending on a) what format you prefer, and b) how much cash you have. I guess it's better that they release everything at the top of the range, but also cater for those with not so deep pockets.

"Borrowed" from http://www.superdeluxeedition.com/

The standard two-disc editions (CD+Blu-ray or CD+DVD) feature 27 videos, with bonus content of Paul McCartney audio commentary on three films and and Ringo Starr filmed introductions for a four of them. These can also be purchased without the CD element.

A deluxe three disc set, 1+, offers a second video disc (dvd or blu-ray) with a further 23 videos including Rain, Strawberry Fields Forever, A Day In The Life, Hey Bulldog, Don’t Let Me Down, Free As A Bird and Real Love, along with many alternate promos of classic tracks including Paperback Writer, Day Tripper and Hello Goodbye. In total, the deluxe edition gives you over 200 minutes of video content via 50 individual films (20 of these weren’t used at all in The Beatles’ Anthology, with others used only in part or in alternate edits).

This deluxe 1+ also offers enhanced packaging and is presented in an expanded 124-page illustrated hardcover book with notes by music journalist Mark Ellen and detailed track/video annotation by music historian and author Richard Havers.

Exciting though this video content is, the sound is a very big deal since all editions of the new 1 reissue feature newly created stereo and 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS HD surround audio mixes, produced from the original analogue tapes by Giles Martin with Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios (Jeff Lynne and engineer Steve Jay have remixed Free As A Bird and Real Love). The CD with these packages uses the new stereo mixes, not the 2009 remasters (a 2LP 180g vinyl package will follow).

1 and the deluxe 1+ are both released on 6 November 2015.

The 2 x DVD 1 x CD is currently on pre-order with Amazon UK for £40.

OK, that's clearer. If you want all the videos, then you need to buy the edition with the hardback book :/

These new mixes sound exciting. I loved what Giles Martin did with the Love album - sonically, it's way ahead of the usual Beatles tracks.

Although that seems to be just DVD (not HD). Also the Wikipedia article hints that some videos were trimmed to force into widescreen format :sideways:

Fair enough, they may not be HD quality but it's debatable how much improvement you can make to videos where some of the source material is several decades old. I have 'Magical Mystery Tour' on DVD and Blu-ray and I can't see much difference between the two. (Mind you, I'm as blind as a bat!)

I'm looking forward to the new Beatles DVD though as this is the first time most of the promos have been commercially released. Even the films on the Anthology DVD (e.g 'Paperback Writer') looked pretty good to me so I'm keen to see how good the new versions look!

Still no Complete remastering of Back To The Egg though, and the video from Back To The Egg that appears on The McCartney Years was completely ruined by some "Artsy" type guru
