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!

It's really great! My compliments!!

It would be nice to have it also on super8 and put it at the beginning of the CHC full feature...
