This exclusive DVD gives a rare glimpse into the lives of The Beatles prior to their meteoric rise to fame in the early 1960's through to the height of their fame and success in the late 1960's.

It takes you behind the scenes wit people who were there; Tony Sheridan and Ray Young musicians who shared the stage with them in Hamburg at the famous Star Club and Kaiser Keller. Detailing how the Beat Brothers became the Silver Beatles and finally The Beatles. These Liverpool born musicians talk of the auditions to get the much-coveted German gigs. Personal recollections of the struggles and rivalry that existed during those early formative years. The rough and tumble lifestyle awaiting any young hopeful band, many travelling abroad for the first time. Tales of the German club owners who made the bands play for six and seven hours at a stretch and how they, in return used the gigs to rehears and refine their material. With rare and exclusive footage we are taken back stage to see how John, Paul, George and Ringo are brought together ready to take on the world.

Victor Spinetti recalls the making of Help and A Hard Day's Night; in a rare interview he talks of the creativity of John and Paul during the filming.

Rare news footage shows the Beatles receiving their Silver Hearts and OBE's, both occasions marked as always by John's razor sharp wit.

Interviews with them during the record burning sessions in America post John's infamous "bigger than Jesus" remark. Along with archive news footage of the time showing the effect they were having all over the world.

The legend of the Beatles remains intact even today over thirty years after the band finally went their separate ways. This film gives unique insights into the circumstances and people that helped form and sustain them through all the stages of their rise to global recognition. The Beatles remain one of, if not the, most culturally important artists of the last century; they are known and respected in every corner of the globe. Their music is still played and purchased in every country world-wide. This documentary gives a more in depth look at the world of the Fab Four, how they really were, how they personally felt and reacted to the hurricane of super stardom that surrounded them. The film cuts through the myth to reveal the four ordinary Liverpool lads who became the most recognised people in the world.

It will appeal to a legion of dedicated fans that love every aspect of the life and times of the Beatles, along with those who are just discovering the impact that this group has had in shaping modern popular culture.
