I was going through some old boxes in my storage shed today and found a 100ft. 8mm reel that I had bought in 1964. It was a promotional film I bought through mail-order (no Amazon back then) titled "Behind the Scenes of A Hard Days Night".

I telecined it and Posted it on Vimeo. There is a couple versions of this on YouTube with audio narration, but I think they were from broadcast sources. I did however add their audio track to my silent version.

Please excuse the projector jitters...I'm working on fixing that problem :-)

Hi Janice,
your copy looks pretty good - I have seen a few super 8 copies of Beatles shorts and it really feels like they are copies of copies of copies... - but your film looks fine
Are Beatles shorts the most over-duplicated?

HI Janice

What a great job you did.Excellent idea finding the narration on uttube. Beatles is my favorite group. That film was in great condition. Thanks for posting it. You are the BOMB!
