Is it real, or cease&desist?
In the Great White North, AKA Kanuckistan, we have a music chain known as HMV, which today began peddling a very interesting DVD release.
-
-
From KOCH records in Kanada, and also available via Australian import in US and A, "The Beatles, Budokan 1966", is an 80 minute DVD containing both the evening show (dark suits)June 30 and afternoon show (light suits) July 1, plus footage of the boys in Japan, and a Tokyo press conference.
-
And while this material has long been available via bootleg-and for a short time as a legit, Apple licensed VHS in the mid 80s, and a Japan-only Laser Disc in the early 90s-this latest release appears to be the first time BOTH aft and eve shows have been collected on one (legit) disc.
-
And, in very decent stereo and 5.1 sound to boot, to mix a metaphoric pun!
-
-
The packaging contains German writing, and has the brand name/label, Headliner, and sold for $14.99 Kanuck bucks.
-
I must say I was very impressed with the sound-about as good as the excerpts on the Anthology DVD, but the video appears to have been taken from less than master tape sources.

In fact, the afternoon show looks like it was dubbed from a pretty lousy boot VHS.
-
Still, not to worry, cuz it sounds great!

I understand that thoughts of grief about Australia include their less than clarified copyright law, so it might be a good idea to grab this item quick if in fact the Apple wankers know naught, about it.
