In Oct 2004, a 10 DVD set said to be the Director s Cut of the Beatles Anthology video was offered for sale in a strictly limited edition costing hundreds of dollars. Since then, Beatles collectors have been scrambling to get their hands on a set. The BigO Audio Archive has finally secured a full set, thanks to the generosity of Australian and New Zealand music collectors.

The official Beatles Anthology is a 5DVD set that lifts entirely from the Laser Disc edition with the bonus of 1 extra DVD of new material. This "10 DVD set" can actually be squeezed, with two programs per disc, into a 5DVD set as well. We can only speculate that the makers were interested in a 10 DVD set so as to put a higher price. However, clearly there are major differences as explained below.

Here is a description of the set from the makers:

Now available for the first time ever - The complete, original 1993 director s cut of the Beatles Anthology!
The beautifully packaged deluxe 10-DVD box set includes detailed liner quotes, full color brochures, high-quality video transfer, special features and a custom storage box complete with new Anthology artwork.

This is an extremely limited edition pressing and demand is already growing for this special DVD collection. Be one of the first to see this newly discovered piece of Beatles history.

Highlights and Alternative Segments Include:

Story VS Performance - The 1993 Director s Cut of Anthology focused primarily on the Beatles story, using performance footage only to enhance the story. The final version would remove much of the story and details to include as much TV and concert footage as possible. At the time this appeared to be the best approach, but in retrospect opinions may change after hearing the uncut interviews; this was after all their one chance to tell their story. Collectors have countless sources for the TV and concert footage, but only one option to hear their story as done for the Anthology series, until now that is!

Uncensored Version - comparisons between the two versions of Anthology clearly show heavy editing. An entire sequence regarding Yoko Ono and her effects on the band has been cut-down to almost nothing; only on the 1993 version will you hear unedited and sometimes unflattering comments. Many interviews did not even make it to the Anthology book. One example is George commenting on the positive experiences he had with drugs, including the famous dentist s real name! The 1993 director s cut also includes the original extended sequence on George s songwriting later trimmed at George s request. It becomes obvious by program 1 what you are seeing is what the director and production team assembled and presented to the band before they made numerous request for changes.

Program Beginnings - Each program begins with an unused animated sequence in place of the Help! Introduction.

In My Life Opening Montage - Programs 1-4 use this song montage with the commercial version using it only to start program 1. The early montage contains different shots from the final version including Allen Klein.

Flashback Montage - An early idea was to begin each program (beginning with program 2) with a flashback montage covering important material seen in the previous program, this worked well for the first few programs, but unfortunately took too much time, Beginning with program 4, the flashbacks only went as far back as the previous program.
