Comments :	TMOQ Gazette - Volume 24 This is the second "Let It Be" collection from HMC - a follow-up to the superior quality movie finally available in stereo. It is designed for both the casual fan and the completist as the essential supplement to the film. Contains unreleased video material ! Over 2 and a half hours spread across two DVDs, this set also includes all versions of all the videos that are no longer available. Plus TV broadcasts, promotional specials, commercials and everything else - all in the most complete and best available quality. It also contains a great deal of footage, some of it believed lost forever, making it's appearance here for the first time. The 24 page stiff card booklet for the TMOQ Gazette has a much more detailed write-up from which the above was extracted. It also has a biography of Ed Sullivan, an account of an interview on their return to Heathrow, a BBC interview broadcast during Grandstand(!), details of the first U.S. interview at Kennedy International, some excellent photographs and typical HMC asides.
