Notes: Whilst in Manchester British Pathe filmed The Beatles in technicolour for a newsreel entitled "The Beatles Come To Town".
This lovely colour footage includes backstage footage, meeting the press, fans reactions and two songs from the concert - "She Loves You" & "Twist and Shout".
In 1965, "The Beatles Come To Town" performance footage was also used in the feature film "Pop Gear" (re-titled "Go Go Mania" in America).
This newsreel was also made available commercially from Pathe as a 8mm film sometime in early 1964 for home use.
It is also available in excellent quality of the official British Pathe Youtube page. Stunning raw footage also exists (see next entry).
