HIGHLIGHTS ON THE DVD -

It's The Beatles - Note: all circulating versions of It's The Beatles have the same flaws - The intros of I want To Hold Your Hand and Money are trashed.
Same here, however, the overall picture quality is much better than any version I've seen. And on disc three there is outtakes footage of the group doing This Boy! Another first.

Thank you Lucky stars 11/15/63 - This is the complete show with all the Merseyside acts (Billy J. Kramer, Cilla Black, Jerry and the Pacemakers, etc) and most of them are singing Beatles songs! The quality is fair but having the entire show for the first time is more than worth it.

It Won't Belong 2007 - British Lions work their magic here along with the FAB guys with Apple quality, creativity and technical skills, a joy to watch!
CBS Evening News 11/21/63 - America's very first glimpse of The Beatles. This historical broadcast is found on one or another Beatles bootleg, but it is incomplete and in atrocious quality, here it is in prestine quality and complete.
