TV Taping Footage – \"Kansas City,\" \"House of the Rising Sun,\" \"I'm a Loser\" (two false starts)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis title compiles previously unseen footage—most notably the 1964 *Top of the Pops* appearance, which represents perhaps the most significant archival discovery in recent years. The entire release consists of footage never before seen by the public and upgraded versions of clips previously held in private collections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTOP OF THE POPS (1964)\u003cbr\u003eThe centerpiece is footage from the British music program *Top of the Pops*, covering appearances from 1964, 1965, 1966, and 1967. Particularly astonishing are the four takes of \"Can't Buy Me Love\" and two takes of \"You Can't Do That\" from the 1964 appearance—performances long thought to be lost, as no film was believed to have survived. The first take of \"Can't Buy Me Love\" is a rehearsal; the second was interrupted by a lighting error; the third by a camera switching error; and the fourth is considered the \"OK\" take. Newly transferred from discovered 35mm negatives, the high quality of this previously unseen footage is remarkable. In addition to the rehearsals, three versions of the actual broadcast performance are included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTOP OF THE POPS (1965, 1966 \u0026amp; 1967)\u003cbr\u003eThe 1965 performance of \"Ticket to Ride\" features the band wearing the same military-style suits seen at the Shea Stadium concert. The 1966 performance features \"Paperback Writer.\" While the recorded segments are brief, the footage is truly moving; it brings to life the famous, beautiful photograph of the band set against a backdrop of circular, colorful lights. For 1967, rather than a live studio performance, the pre-recorded footage of \"All You Need Is Love\" from the *Our World* broadcast was aired; this release includes three versions of that performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREADY STEADY GO! 1963\u003cbr\u003eThis features vivid color footage—not colorized later, but shot on color film, which was a rarity at the time. It captures not only the performances but also clear color shots of the band arriving at the studio, smoking during rehearsal breaks, and chatting with the staff.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eROYAL VARIETY PERFORMANCE 1963\u003cbr\u003eSourced from the ATV master tape, this covers the famous Royal Variety Performance (notable for John Lennon's \"rattle your jewelry\" remark). Despite the presence of timecodes, the image quality is astonishingly clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAROUND THE BEATLES 1964\u003cbr\u003eAlthough the original broadcast was in black and white, this release includes vivid color footage of the rehearsals. The main performance is also presented in color; however, this footage was not taken by the cameras used for the actual broadcast but was instead filmed separately on 8mm film.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSCENE AT 6:30 1964\u003cbr\u003eThis segment is in black and white but captures the Beatles arriving at the venue, fans waiting for them, and rehearsals for \"And I Love Her.\" While rehearsal footage of this song has been available before, this version offers significantly improved image quality and a longer runtime. It also includes fascinating candid moments—such as the members goofing around in the dressing room and leaving the venue amidst fans—captured during breaks in the rehearsal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eREADY STEADY GO! 1964\u003cbr\u003eThis also features rare color footage. In the rehearsal clips, the band members are seen in casual, mismatched clothing. As for the main feature itself, the footage does not come from professional broadcast cameras; instead, it consists of 8mm film shot privately during the actual production. Seeing the familiar stage, background, and other elements in color offers a remarkably fresh perspective. A similar phenomenon occurred with Akira Kurosawa’s *No Regrets for Our Youth*; although it was a black-and-white film, U.S. military personnel happened to be present at the location shoot and captured the filming process on color film, resulting in a rare color record of the production. This *Ready Steady Go!* release was captured under similar circumstances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSHINDIG! 1964\u003cbr\u003eWhile this title primarily compiles the band's UK television appearances—centered on *Top of the Pops*—it also includes footage from their appearance on the American program *Shindig!* as a bonus feature. The rehearsal footage captures the authentic atmosphere of a practice session, including a moment where Ringo misses the cue for the intro to \"Boys\" and has to start over.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHE LOST TOP OF THE POPS FILMS\u003cbr\u003eThis release features what is arguably the year's most significant archival discovery: rehearsal footage from the 1964 *Top of the Pops* for \"Can't Buy Me Love\" and \"You Can't Do That.\" It also includes previously unseen footage from the same program spanning various years. Furthermore, the title presents a comprehensive collection—featuring outtakes, rare clips, rehearsal footage, and upgraded quality versions from other UK TV appearances of the era—utilizing exclusively sourced material unavailable to other labels. The entire release is presented with unprecedented quality and comes as a high-quality, pressed disc featuring beautiful picture-disc artwork, making it a definitive collector's item.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"misterclaudel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55400172847403,"sku":null,"price":59.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1009\/0846\/6475\/files\/1_a7f06076-6a33-4a5b-b46e-5138ec7768f6.jpg?v=1788390031","url":"https:\/\/wmlshopjapan.com\/de\/products\/the-beatles-the-lost-top-of-the-pops-films-1dvd","provider":"WML Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
