Rare and Unseen: The Beatles (2008)

archival treasure huntintimate fly-on-wall60s time capsule

Overview

Documentary

The Beatles. Their story is told for the very first time using original rare film and video of the band, including home movies, concert footage, newsreels and photographs from private collections. There are also interviews with those who surrounded the band, and those who were there from the very start. Also included is an exclusive interview with fan and star in his own right, Phil Collins. For the first time we can see The Beatles relaxed, at play, on and off stage, on film and is a rare glimpse inside the lives of four musicians who shook the world.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Most footage came from a single collector who bought Beatles home movies at a 1999 auction for under £10,000.

Cultural

Released during the height of Beatles remastering frenzy, this was the anti-Anthology: no official narrative, just raw evidence.
