Did anyone actually know Help! was rereleased this year???
-
Bit of a strange topic, but hear me out. Recently I was just wondering around the updated Beatles website ( which is very very good by the way) and I just found about Help! being rereleased on iTunes, sort of like magical mystery tour and yellow submarine. Out of all of the Beatles movies, this would have to be my favourite one, and I was shocked that I didn't know this happened. I asked a couple of Beatle experts in my area if they knew it was release and they didn't know. Now, I don't know if it was because of terrible terrible advertising ( seems like a theme now doesn't it?) for it ( consider that magical mystery tour was HYPED crazily when It came out, and that's what some consider to be the worst of the Beatles movies and Yellow submarine was given GOD treatment with a interactive book hyped like crazy as well) or if im just not up to date ( of course, living in Aus might have something to do with it) Did any of you know about it? did you try to advertise it? was there actual advertising but I somehow didn't know about it??

Yeah I heard about it a while back but I already have a great (non-bootleg) DVD of it, so didn't even mention it here.

I saw Yellow Submarine and Magical Mystery Tour in local movie theaters during their remastered release the last couple of years. Help!'s release didn't seem to have as much pomp. I'm hoping for a Blu-ray remaster of A Hard Day's Night! The others have been done so well.

The big promotion for Help! was when it was released on DVD in 2007, a big Deluxe version came out also. Last year they released it on Blu-ray, so it was not promoted as a big deal. As for A Hard Day's Night, it is out on Blu-ray, but not in the U.S.

I bought the Help Blu-ray (my favourite Beatle movie by far ) this year. Despite the good picture/quality , I was disapointed to find out it was just a direct upgrade of the DVD - ie, all the extra content (right down to the menus etc) was exactly the same . Surely they could have pimped it up a bit ! And yeah, the lack of promotion was strange !
