Notes: In November 1965 The Beatles decided to film a few promos for the latest singles. This was all done in one day at Twickenham
Studios in London. In all 10 promos were filmed. The songs performed were: Day Tripper (3 Versions); We Can Work it Out (3 Versions);
I Feel Fine (2 Versions); Help! & Ticket To Ride. Good quality copies of all the available promos with clocks have been released onto
bootleg DVD`s and most are now available in near perfect quality on the "1+" DVD/Blu-ray set.The earliest known original TV broadcasts were:

1965
"Top of The Pops"
December 2: We Can Work it Out & Day Tripper (Unknown versions but both were probably their version 3)
December 9: We Can Work it Out (Unknown version but likely version 3)
December 25 & 26: Day Tripper; I Feel Fine; Help! & Ticket To Ride (Unknown versions for the first two but it`s likely their version 3 & version 2)
December 30: We Can Work it Out (Unknown version but most likely version 3)

"Thank Your Lucky Stars"
December 4: We Can Work it Out & Day Tripper (Unknown versions but likely both were their version 3)

"Hullabaloo" (US)
January 3, 1966: We Can Work it Out & Day Tripper (Unknown versions but probably both were their version 3)

Other Known TV Broadcasts:
"The Tube" Feb 27 1987
I Feel Fine #1
Day Tripper #3

"25 Years of Top of The Pops" Dec 31 1988
Possibly only snippets and not the full promos:
Day Tripper #3
We Can Work it Out (Unknown version but likely version #3)

After their original broadcasts very few of these promos were ever screened again bar a couple of one offs in the late 80's, until in
1993, to promote the CD issues of the "Red" and "Blue" compilation albums, Apple made three of them available for promotion purposes
though they added an obnoxious red border around them. The three promos issued were: Help!; Ticket To Ride & I Feel Fine #1. Their quality
however was kinda average as they hadn't bothered to remaster them.In 1995 during "The Beatles Anthology" TV specials a little bit of
a lovely looking remastered "Ticket To Ride" was shown as part of a compile for that song and when "The Beatles Anthology" was issued
on home VHS in Sept 1996 they included a compile of "Day Tripper" (Versions 2 & 3) and a compile of "We Can Work it Out" (Versions 2 & 3)
all of which were remastered in nice quality. They also made available "I Feel Fine" (Version 1) and "Help" as promo videos which
were sent to media outlets to promote the VHS set, again both were remastered.In 2000 to promote The Beatles "1" album, "Ticket To Ride"
was released to media outlets.In 2015 the following promos were issued on the "1+" DVD/Blu Ray collections in near pristine quality including the rare "fish n chips" version of "I Feel Fine":
Ticket To Ride
Help!
I Feel Fine #1
I Feel Fine #2 (Fish n Chips)
Day Tripper #2
Day Tripper #3
We Can Work it Out #2
We Can Work it Out #3

In terms of bootleg DVD's, sometime in the mid 2000's the original master tapes (some including their slates/clocks) crept out onto
bootleg DVD, in surprisingly very good quality. The first issue of these was probably on the "Chronology" set in 2004. Similar quality
versions appeared over the next few years until FAB issued their remastered collection of "The Beatles 1965 Vol 9: The Intertel Videos..."
in 2015 which included the master versions with clocks in the best quality so far followed a year later by even better quality
versions released by HMC on their "The Ultimate Intertels Plus" DVD set.This means that currently only "We Can Work it Out #1" isn't
available in official remastered form. Also "Day Tripper #1" seems to be completely missing in action.These are the major bootleg DVD
