The 27 Number One's

Main Menu

This is on a loop of 42 seconds and features the Ticket To Ride video.

On the Main menu are five choices:

Play All
All 27 video's play consecutively and each has a clever little short title sequence of about 8 seconds apiece.

Track Selection
These are in groups of three or four per page with one of each of the
songs appearing on the page supplying the background music to the page.

Bonus From Paul and Ringo
This is either "Commentaries By Paul" where Paul talks over just three of the videos.
Or, "Introductions By Ringo" where Ringo introduces just four of the videos.
(Paul's contribution is quite interesting with some amusing insights, Ringo's is not)

Jukebox
Lists the 27 titles in a pop-up which can be selected as one's own personal running order.

Set Up
No sound, this just allows the Audio set-up or subtitles to be selected.
The Blu-ray offers both stereo and 5.1 remixes which do differ

No.	Chapter Title	Detail	Time
1	Love Me Do	Rec: 27/08/1963 - "The Mersey Sound" - Little Theatre, Southport There were three versions made of this video around 1982 This is a 4th newly-assembled 2015 version using a few different drop-in pieces. Stereo mix: The original single version and same mix as the 2009 remasters, 5.1 mix: Bass is extracted from the mono version              Rear channels just match the front with added reverb + handclaps.	2:23
2	From Me To You	4th November 1963 from the Royal Variety Show A newly created video from the TV production for this 2015 issue Stereo mix: Abrupt start, into a new (not improved) version with added reverb 5.1 mix: Bass is, as you'd expect, just an extraction              Front channels are a fake stereo              Rear channels just match the front with added reverb.	1:53
3	She Loves You	30th October 1963 - Filmed in Stockholm, Sweden Recorded at Narren-Teatern, Stockholm, for an appearance on the Sveriges Television show "Drop In" before a live audience in a small theatre in the Grona Lund amusement park. A newly created video from the TV production for this 2015 issue Stereo mix: Digitally created stereo image, with added audience handclaps - NOT present on the original recording ! 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original mono              Centre channel isolates the vocals              Front channels are very much like the stereo mix              Rear channels you can here the overdubbed clapping. FYI .... something to seek out: After the first two scheduled numbers, they were persuaded by presenter Klas Burling to extend their set to four numbers. If you can find the complete clip, they played She Loves You/Twist And Shout/I Saw Her Standing There/Long Tall Sally which is a must-see tremendous absolutely live performance.	2:19
4	I Want To Hold Your Hand	Rec: 25/11/1963 - "Late Scene Extra" - Studio 4, Granada TV, Manchester A newly created video from the TV production for this 2015 issue Stereo mix: Doesn't seem to sound any different to the 2009 remaster 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original mono              Centre channel tries to isolate the vocals, but the backing track is also heard              Front channels centre the vocals, guitars to the left, drums to the right              Rear channels feature the instumental track, but the vocals can be heard (opposite of the centre channel).	2:25
5	Can't Buy Me Love	Rec: 28/04/1964 - "Around the Beatles" - Studio 5, Wembley Studios for Rediffusion A newly created video from the TV production for this 2015 issue Stereo mix: On this production they were miming to a newly pre-recorded "live take", included here with added audience noises. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original mono              Centre channel Paul's double-tracked vocal, with the instumentation at a lower level.              Front channels sound pretty much like the stereo mix.              Rear channels again is basically the opposite of the centre channel.	2:08
6	A Hard Day's Night	Rec: 20/06/1965 - Palais des Sport, Paris - Evening performance A newly created video from the TV production for this 2015 issue Stereo mix: As the original mono recording was fine, this is digitally enhanced stereo. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original mono              Centre channel attempts to bring out the vocals              Front channels are the fake stereo mix              Rear channels again basically a fake stereo with added reverb	2:37
7	I Feel Fine	Rec: 23/11/1965 Intertel Promos - Studio 3 - Twickenham Film Studios Version 1:    John and Paul in black roll neck jumpers singing around gym equipment.    Ringo on an exercise bike, George singing into a punchball. Version 2 can be seen on disc two listed below Stereo mix: Splits John's double-tracked vocals across the two channels and mixes the backing vocals to stereo 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original mono              Centre channel barely increases the level of the vocals over the instrumentation              Front channels are the placement of the new stereo mix              Rear channels have the instrumention with an echo of the vocal	2:17
8	Eight Days A Week	Rec: 15th August 1965 A montage of material from Shea Stadium (where they didn't play Eight Days A Week !) A new edit made for this set in 2015 by Matthew Longfellow Stereo mix: No fade-in on either video mix for this video is just bizarre. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track              Centre channel increases the level of the vocals, mixing down the instruments              Front channels are the placement of the new stereo mix              Rear channels have the instrumention mixed up, with vocals mixed down	2:41
9	Ticket To Ride	Rec: 23/11/1965 Intertel Promo - Twickenham Film Studios Ringo standing playing drums, while the others sing and play sitting in director's chairs. Stereo mix: Sounds the same as the 2009 re-master, except the drums have a bit more oomph and ii has 6 seconds cut from the fade 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track              Centre channel increases the level of the vocals, mixing down the instruments              Front channels are the placement of the new stereo mix              Rear channels have the instrumention mixed up, with vocals mixed down	3:01
10	Help !	Rec: 23/11/1965 Intertel Promo - Twickenham Film Studios The Beatles sit on a beam, Ringo holding an umbrella Stereo mix: Backing vocals are brought up in the mix in the intro and split over the two channels. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track              Centre channel increases the level of the vocals, mixing down the instruments              Front channels are the placement of the new stereo mix              Rear channels have the instrumention mixed up, with vocals mixed down	2:17
11	Yesterday	Rec: 14/08/1965 - The Ed Sullivan Show - Studio 50, New York City Ed Sullivan Show recording, broadcast 12th September 1965 Like all previous broadcasts this one was also in black-and-white, with Ed informing the audience at the end of this show that from the following week the show would be broadcast in colour ! The Beatles had missed it by just a few days and their monochrome existence was now set in stone in history. Stereo mix: Reverb has been added to the original show recording and the strings mixed across the soundstage 5.1 mix: Bass channel is dead silent, not surprisingly              Centre channel sounds just like the original mono recording              Front channels have had the reverb added              Rear channels feature the strings, with an echo of the rest of the performance	2:25
12	Day Tripper	Rec: 23/11/1965 Intertel Promo (version 2) - Twickenham Film Studios A straight mimed performance with the Beatles in black turtlenecks Stereo mix: Seems quite different to the 2009 remaster with added reverb and              the video version is slightly faster and therefore a few seconds shorter ! 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track              Centre channel increases the level of the vocals, mixing down the instruments              Front channels are the placement of the new stereo mix              Rear channels have the instrumention mixed up, with vocals mixed down	2:44
13	We Can Work It Out	Rec: 23/11/1965 Intertel Promo (Version 2) - Twickenham Film Studios A straight mimed performance with the Beatles in black turtlenecks Stereo mix: One of Paul's double-tracked vocals is mixed to centre, the other to the right. Drums on the left.              This mix is also faded a little early making it a couiple of seconds shorter than the "1" c.d. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track              Centre channel increases the level of the vocals, mixing down the instruments              Front channels have one of the lead vocals split into both channels, with the second to the right only.              Rear channels have the entire track, with added reverb, plus a tambourine too high in the mix.	2:12
14	Paperback Writer	Rec: 20/05/1966 - Chiswick House, Burlington Lane, London The original colour promo with brand new inserts creating a new 2015 version Stereo mix: Vocals mixed to centre, Paul's bass to the right. Drums and most else on the left.              Oddly, Ringo's kick drum is mixed right down and has virtually disappeared, Paul's bass also lacks punch in this mix. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track              Centre channel has the vocals, with the instruments underneath, some missing backing vocals near the end              Front channels are basically just the stereo mix.              Rear channels have the entire track, with added reverb.	2:22
15	Yellow Submarine	2015 creation A montage of material from the 1968 Yellow Submarine movie A new edit made for this set in 2015 by Matthew Longfellow Stereo mix: Ringo's vocal has been taken from the right channel and centred in the stereo image              The backing vocals are nicely split between the two channels. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track              Centre channel is basically mono with the brass and sound effects mixed down a bit.              Front channels are basically just the stereo mix.              Rear channels has instumental backing track + effects, with an echo of the vocals, until the final chorus.	2:37
16	Eleanor Rigby	1968 sequence as seen in the Yellow Submarine movie. Stereo mix: Much better than the original as this centres the vocals in the stereo image 5.1 mix: Bass is silent.              Centre channel has the vocal mixed right up with the strings in the background              Front channels are basically just the stereo mix.              Rear channels has strings and backing vocals, with the lead vocal heard mixed right down.	2:03
17	Penny Lane	Rec: 5/02/1967 & 7/02/1967 Angel Lane, Stratford, London and Knole Park, Sevenoaks, Kent. Intercut with film of Liverpool's Penny Lane landmarks with the Beatles not being present. New outtake shots of John have been inserted at 1:03 and 1:53, this makes sense as in the original solo shots were seen of the others, but strangely, not John. Stereo mix: An improvement as Paul's vocal has been lifted to a more appropriate level              There are some slight differences to the placement of the instruments. 5.1 mix: Bass is again just an extraction from the original track.              Centre channel also has the vocal mixed up with the basic instrumental track as well as the trumpet solo              Front channels are a bit keyboard heavy with the drums pumped up to be too loud.              Rear channels has the backing track with added reverb, plus an echo of the vocals.	3:02
18	All You Need Is Love	Rec: 25/06/1967 "Our World" - EMI Studio 1, Abbey Road. Originally filmed by the BBC in black and white, this here is the colourised version made in 1995 for Anthology.	3:43
19	Hello Goodbye	Rec: 10/11/1967 Saville Theatre, London (which was leased by Brian Epstein) Directed by Paul McCartney for Apple Films There are three versions prepared for broadcast, all of which the BBC refused. The Beatles wearing Sgt.Pepper uniforms, Ringo's drum does not have the name of the band. During the coda the grass-skirted hula girls appear.	3:23
20	Lady Madonna	Rec: 11/02/1968 EMI Studio 3, Abbey Road The original video promo, fairly redundant as it actually contains footage of The Beatles recording Hey Bulldog	2:27
21	Hey Jude	Rec: 04/09/1968 Stage 1, Twickenham Film Studios Includes David Frost's "tea dance" introduction, plus John's "It's Now Or Never" Version 1: 7:07 - Paul mouths "Hey Jude" before song starts Version 2: 2:38 - Edit of ending sequence Version 3: 7:04 The group did three takes. Take 1 is presented here uninterrupted. Only the second half of take 2 is available, from a broadcast in the US on The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour (where it was edited together with the first half of take 1... this has been removed here to avoid endless duplication and make comparisons easier). Take 3 is also complete and is the one broadcast in Frost On Sunday. At least one further short snatch from take 2 is included in the Anthology edit on disc 1, where the redhead in the white dress can be seen being hoisted (or, rather, dragged bodily) up onto the podium.	7:55
22	Get Back	Rec: 30/01/1969 "Let It Be" footage from the rooftop of Apple Headquarters, Saville Row, London The video comprises footage from the three different versions that the band perormed live. The editor selected shots for their visual merit which impacted on the accuracy of the lip-synch.	3:10

25	Come Together	Promotional Video made in 2000 Created by Melon Dezign for the launch of thebeatles.com and the original "1" album This was a web based video made at a time when most had very slow download speeds. This is the first time the film has been seen in all it's glory	4:15
26	Let It Be	Originally shot for the film of the same name, this is a reconstructed version of the material used to promote the single in 1970.	3:49
27	The Long And Winding Road	Rec: 31/01/1969 The original film recorded the day after the rooftop performance.	3:35
