On 25th November 1965 The Beatles filmed ten promotional clips in black-and-white for five songs.
Help !, Ticket To Ride, I Feel Fine (two versions), Day Tripper (three versions) and We Can Work It Out (three versions).
Although ten were shot, only nine are known to have survived - the first version of Day Tripper is the missing one.
They were all shot by Intertel VTR Services and filmed in black-and-white, although still photos from the sessions were shot in colour.
The 1965 shorts were produced by NEMS employee Tony Bramwell and directed by Joe McGrath at Twickenham Film Studios.
There is no substitution of better quality versions from recent official releases, these are the originals presented in the best quality possible - including slates and longer intros and runouts. The longest slate is over 40 seconds long and some even show assistants in shot winding cable or cleaning their glasses or just getting in the way. Really are unedited, indeed.
Some extra bonus versions of these songs are included on disc one as identified below.
On 19th and 20th May 1966 The Beatles filmed six promotional clips in black-and-white for both sides of their latest single.
Paperback Writer (four versions) and Rain (two versions) all being performance style takes.
They also filmed exclusive colour versions of Paperback Writer and Rain, with spoken introduction, for airing in the United States on the Ed Sullivan Show. Again in performance style.
Paperback Writer and Rain "concept" promos in colour were also shot on 20th May at the Chiswick House Gardens.
Also included as bonus items on the discs as listed below are:
       Paperback Writer - A new edit of the colour promo made for Anthology in 1995
       Paperback Writer - Newly created Quad screen comparison split-screen video
       Paperback Writer - Jumbled fun mixed up quad screen version
       Rain - Split-screen comparison version of the two performance versions
The same original promos are on each disc, the first with the original native audio, the second with re-mastered stereo audio.
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 pictures of the slates and shots from the video sessions,
Plus an interview with the Beatles to promote the film Help !
And a piece about the songs featured and the usual excellent photographs and typical HMC asides.

Paperback Writer - New Analysis
So Take 1 is new, but why is Take 2 also presented here as NEW ?
What we knew as "TAKE 2" or "Version 2" circulated from the original Intertel videos and was available on a few bootleg DVDs,
but it now comes to pass that it was is in fact an edit which we can call; "EDIT #1", a mix of Take 1 and Take 2.
As we hadn’t seen the raw Take 1 before, we thought that what we had was Take 2, but now we can see that it was, in fact,
a combination or edit of the actual takes 1 and 2.
Therefore we can now see that Paperback Writer "Edit 1" (Formerly known as "Take 2") is edited thus:
From start and until the second line of the song "It took me years to write, will you take a look?" IS from TAKE 1.
From the third line of the song, "It's based on a novel by a man named Lear" and until first half of the fifth line;
"so I want to be a paperback writer… Paperback…" is also from TAKE 1, but taking a scene that appears almost near the end of the original Take 1.
From the second half of the fifth line: " …writer" and until the video finish, is TAKE 2.
So, we now have and can label the takes, "Full Take 1" and "Full Take 2" plus "EDIT #1" (which is not included here on this HMC release)
                                          with thanks to "ApolloPercy"

14 Rain # 1 Version 1
During the slate someone can clearly be seen in shot in silhouette
Much longer slate (92 seconds !) and great quality upgrade (not remastered or official version) 4:41

15 Rain # 2 Version 2
Agan a longer slate (46 seconds !) and great quality upgrade (not remastered or official version) 3:45

D.V.D. Two - Promotional Films

The list below is as intended, but ...... my copy actually has a fault, in that it has two tracks repeated
It plays through to chapter 10 below as listed, then plays 9 and 10 again (as chapters 11 & 12), then all following chapters are numbered two higher.
