Editorial Reviews
When the Beatles Anthology first aired worldwide in 1995, the miniseries -- paired with the simultaneous release of three double-CD sets that included the first new Beatles songs since the band's 1970 breakup -- played out as a global media event. Although the songs, "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love," didn't quite hold up to "Yesterday" and "Hey Jude," the sheer bulk of brilliant material and fascinating tidbits collected in the two projects left most fans delighted. This five-DVD set collects all 8 hours of the original miniseries and adds 81 minutes of bonus features sure to thrill fans old and new -- including footage of Paul, George, and Ringo jamming during breaks in the filming of Anthology and reminiscing about their salad days. For the uninitiated, Beatles Anthology is the most comprehensive video document available on the lives of the Fab Four, spanning virtually every stage of their musical evolution. From the band's days in Liverpool to the height of Beatlemania and into the era of late-'60s psychedelia, few stones are left unturned. Hours of rare interview footage imbue the miniseries with an almost disarming intimacy -- the well-known footage of awestruck, screaming teenage fans is trumped by a probing look at the Beatles' internal dynamic, particularly after the death of John Lennon. Ultimately, Anthology remains the standard bearer for Beatles lore, and even those who only know the music from elevator rides will gain a fuller understanding of the foursome's singular position in the 20th century's most culturally tumultuous decade.
