Beatles Anthology - Part 1

To present a documentary of The Beatles is a big order. It took decades before they were ready to reflect on the tumultuous times. It was particularly problematic that John couldn't have presented his opinions in interviews current with those of the rest of the group. Culling appropriate 'answers' from interviews past didn't really make a level playing field (John, especially, had different tones and opinions in the different eras in his life), but it's the best they could do. The first part in the series does an admirable job presenting and condensing the first 20 years of the Lads' lives. I wish that they had released a CD with the music that had inspired them. More than just a ten second skiffle clip would be great, especially of the obscure (to me) stuff. Rated 2.
