So many myths have been written about the Beatles legend. But, the Beatles Anthology DVD series is where the truth about the Beatles is told in their own words. Even if you aren’t a huge Beatles fan, this DVD series will keep you fascinated with the epic rise and fall of the most successful musical acts ever. This is the official documentary as told by the Beatles themselves.

The huge 5 DVD set lasts for over 10 hours, and there isn’t a dull moment in the whole documentary series. The fifth Bonus DVD is an extra 80 minutes that didn’t appear in the original ABC TV broadcast or video box set. The highlight of this bonus material is Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the late George Harrison at Abbey Road Studios listening to classic Beatles recordings with producer George Martin. So, if you don’t have the Beatles Anthology DVD Box set, it’s worth just getting for this bonus disc.

The Grammy Award winning documentary series features film footage from the Beatles home movies, rare studio clips, live interviews, concert film, backstage moments, studio sessions and clips from their feature films. It’s all well sequenced together to bring you along as the Beatles epic story evolves. 25 years after their bitter breakup Paul, George and Ringo tell their side of the story. Audio interviews from John Lennon are seamlessly woven in ensuring his version of the Beatles tale is well represented.

Other Beatles insiders are interviewed to give unique perspectives from beyond the four members. Great incite is provided by the inner circle of Beatles producer George Martin, press agent Derek Taylor, Apple head Neil Aspinall, and of course Yoko Ono.

The self-produced documentary doesn’t gloss over the low points in the Beatles career such as John Lennon’s Jesus comment, the Philippine disaster, or the difficult Let It Be filming. Every significant event in the Beatles career is covered in fascinating detail from the seedy Hamburg club days to the triumphant Abbey Road Album. The Beatles also discuss their songs, records and films in great detail.

This is the definitive retrospective of music’s most popular and influential groups of all time. It traces the evolution of the Beatles from their earliest struggles to their bitter breakup. A must see for anyone remotely interested in music history.
