On the subject of HELP on super 8, several years ago ( 2003) I won an auction for a super 8 film consisting of extracts from the feature film. I still have it, it consists of songs and a bit of dialogue between. The songs are Help, You've got to hide your love away, Ticket to Ride and You're gonna lose that girl. It just fits on a 200ft reel. Picture quality is reasonable, a liitle grainy, sound is excellent. I assume it was a one off printing, definately not filmed off a tv screen. I paid about £50. Also, from the same seller, scenes from Let It Be, almost 800 foot. I have split this up into a 400 foot reel of the rooftop concert, a 200 foot reel of Let it be and Long and Winding Road, and a 200 foot reel of what I have called studio sessions - which consists of the opening shots, rehearsal for Dont let me down, Two of us, Besame Mucho and Maxwells Silver Hammer, and then a performance of Two of us. Again, a bit grainy but certainly watchable. I paid £36 for this one. I have never come across any other prints of these. Those were the days when you could buy decent stuff from Ebay! Another prized possession won off ebay is a 200 foot reel of the Beatles Hollywood Bowl concert, super 8 sound, released by Encore Entertainments. If comprises shots of screaming fans and some long shots of the stage, followed by Twist and Shout and She Loves You filmed from the side of the stage by a lone cameraman on 16mm. That one cost me £32. Good picture and sound.
