>>Lost Beatles Footage Discovered

{BeatlesMystery}
Film footage of The Beatles from 1967 has surfaced in Britain. The BBC Online says material from the original version of the group's movie "Magical Mystery Tour" was discovered at the BBC Library in Plymouth as technicians were transferring reels of film onto a digital medium. The footage shows the group at Plymouth Hoe, in Devon on the Southwestern peninsula of the country. The discovery comes just six months after another reel of film was found at Devon's South West Film Archive. That footage shows the Fab Four in the region, doing interviews with the media in October 1964. When that material was unearthed, the archives director speculated that it had been used in the '70s and then misfiled. It was found in the sports section of the archives. The BBC hasn't said what it plans to do with any of this newly-discovered Beatles video.

The BBC better not plan releasing anything without McCartney's permission.

A local video store has a neat VHS video of the Beatles circa 1966/67 featuring entirely silent footage. It's got film of Paul and Mal's safari in the autumn of '66, Paul's trip to America in early '67 to visit Jane Asher, and a bunch of 'on the set' footage of the Beatles filming Magical Mystery Tour. I wonder if the newly discovered film is more of the same set...

It's definitely interesting archival material.

Ethan,,, would it be possible for you to get the title of the video and some more info off of it and share it with us here??

Probably available elsewhere....Amazon..Waldenbooks..??

Sure, I can find out the title and distribution information. I don't want to get the store in trouble, though - they also rent a number of other music-related videos of dubious origin - Like a nearly pristine print of Dylan's Eat the Document, for one!

Those EVIL Beatles!!!!.... I was going to create a new thread for this nonsense, but figured it didn't deserve it. The site is a joke, but it's not far from the mindset of some whackos out there.
