Did Derann release some of these beatles "music videos" onto super 8?

I have seen an auction for what is being described as a Derann Films copy of a Beatles music video. I think it is for "Let it Be", which would explain a low fade print of these.

If it's so that Derann DID release super 8 music videos of they're songs ...

When did they do so?
What songs were released on super 8 by Derann specifically?

I thank you for you're time.

Fourth time I try to answer to this message..

Not really a song but Derann also released "The Beatles Come To Town". Osi, if you like The Beatles, you may be intersted in the new film "Yesterday" Impossible to add a link, so try to Google Yesterday Danny Boyle

One of my favorites!

The Beatles Come to Town

They printed this one basically as long as they printed anything.

This was a theatrical short, it started out as 'scope no less. Twenty years later it just may have come out as a music video.

I bought a new colour copy of "Let It Be" from Derann in 1996 for £6.00.
It features all four Beatles, with Paul on piano, plus Yoki.
It was believed that the five minute film might have been produced for showing on television.

If I remember correctly when PM printed this they wanted both scope and flat, but for some reason the test prints from the flat negative they had made were terrible and they wouldn't release it, only in scope.
