Talk:The Beatles Anthology (TV series)/Archive 1

Hello
Hello Wikipedians I'm reading this extra-ordinary encyclopedia for almost three years. But I've participating in the editing process for only a week. I'm trying to develop a page named "The Beatles Anthology (5 DVD Set)", in which I'm mentioning all the chapters of the 5 DVDs and then trying to mention the songs included under each DVD with notes on them. I'd like to know whether my intention is OK? Waiting for your advise Parthasm 21:23, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

More production and editions information
Since this seems to be the article dedicated especially to the documentary (as apart from the CDs and the book), I'd like to see more information about the different versions. As much as I know, at first a 10-hour version was aired on anglophone TV, then a bit later (when exactly?) a roughly 10-hour VHS box was issued. Years later (when?) the DVD box came out, spanning roughly 12 hours.

Apart form these two official versions (10 hours and 12 hours), I know a three-part version I luckily happened to tape, spanning about 4 to 4-and-a-half hours that aired on German TV in 1996 and that partly had different editing and audio-visual effects as could have only been done by using the original source footage (including the individual interviews done in the 1990s specifically for the Anthology). Having a job in video editing myself, I must say that when it comes to pacing and timing, creating a variety of different moods, and making video and audio fitting each other on different audio-visual as well as cognitive levels, it is this latter version that seems very much superior to the other two which I'd only recommend for die-hard fans of the band (even though I'm such myself). It is this shortest version that keeps inspiring me in my own work in a variety of different fields and working with diverse forms of content even after all those years because I think it stands out from a lot of other documentary, music video, and general TV productions in the regards mentioned above. The question is, how and when did this version originate, and who did it? --Tlatosmd 16:56, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Shea Stadium?
Is the Shea footage taken from the "The Beatles at Shea Stadium" film with all its overdubs and edits as opposed to the original Shea footage? TheHYPO (talk) 15:28, 24 September 2009 (UTC)

I would like to know this as well. 75.143.255.200 (talk) 04:47, 24 November 2010 (UTC)

GA "review"
I removed the spurious "review" by User:Yeepsi, who clearly does not understand the process. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:05, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

 * As the article was never nominated, it wasn't a review. Jezhotwells (talk) 19:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Shouldn’t this be High-Importance instead of Top?
It doesn’t really fit the Top Importance classification, which says that “This article is of the utmost importance to this project, as it forms the basis of all information”. Instead, I think it would better fit High or Mid importance. Speatle (talk to me) please ping me when replying to something I said. 11:58, 1 May 2022 (UTC)
