The Compleat Beatles (1982 Video)
8/10
Compleat is incomplete?
8 January 2005
This is a fantastic documentary that introduced me as a teenager to the Beatles in the mid-80's. It isn't dry, there is drama to it and I think that is why it sticks as a favorite in so many peoples minds.

I originally watched this documentary a few times on television almost 20 years ago. I recently purchased the video tape and was a little disappointed, it didn't seem as "great" as I remember it. Still good, but not great.

Watching it the other day I realized that I think the video release is different than the one I watched on television. I remember specifically the narrator saying "Hey Jude" was originally titled "Hey Jules" and discussing why the song was written. I didn't see this on the video. I think I can also remember more information on Linda and Yoko, but they are barely touched in the video.

Can anyone else confirm that there is an original version of this film that contains more footage than the video release?
