UNIVERSAL MUSIC - THE BEATLES' VIDEOS AND TOP HITS COME TOGETHER FOR THE FIRST TIME

All-New Editions of The Beatles 1 Pair Beautifully Restored Promotional Films and Videos with Brand New Stereo and Surround Audio Mixes 

Beatles 1+ Deluxe Edition Celebrates the Sight & Sound of The Beatles in 50 Films & Videos

After The Beatles stopped touring, and because travelling around the globe to promote new releases was impossible, the band increasingly made what could be described as “mini movies”. These pioneering promotional films and videos helped to define the way we have come to watch music, not least because The Beatles approached filming with the same ease and innovative spirit they brought to the recording studio, exploring new creative possibilities with infectious delight. Showcasing the band’s filmed work to accompany their 27 No.1, U.K. and U.S. singles, The Beatles 1 is newly restored and expanded in multiple configurations for global release this November on Apple Corps Ltd/Universal Music Group. 

The 27-track CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray pairs beautifully restored videos for each song, with new stereo and 5.1 Dolby Digital and DTS HD surround audio mixes. The brand new Beatles 1+ celebrates their career in over 200 minutes through 50 promotional films and videos. This includes the 27 No.1s, with the restored videos, along with a second disc of 23 videos, including alternate versions, as well as rarely seen and newly restored films and videos; all include new audio mixes in deluxe CD/2-DVD and CD/2-Blu-ray packages. The 27-track audio CD is also being made available with new stereo mixes. A 2 LP, 180-gram vinyl package will follow. 

The new editions of The Beatles 1 have been made possible following extensive research, and restoration of the original promo films, classic television appearances and other carefully selected videos spanning the band’s history. Apple Corps dug deep into The Beatles’ vaults to select a broad range of films and videos for their rarity, historical significance and quality of performance. An 18-person team of film and video technicians and restoration artists was assembled by Apple Corps to undertake painstaking frame-by-frame cleaning, colour-grading, digital enhancement and new edits that took months of dedicated, ‘round-the-clock work to accomplish. 

The result is a visual run down of The Beatles’ number one records, as well as the additional tracks on the bonus disc of Beatles 1+ that show the band in previously unseen standards of clarity and quality; many of the films and videos have never before been commercially released, in whole or in part. 

Beatles 1 and Beatles 1+ offers the restored films, including 35mm negatives scanned in 4K and digitally restored with new stereo and 5.1 surround audio remixes, produced from the original analogue tapes by the GRAMMY® winning team of Giles Martin with Sam Okell at Abbey Road Studios. For four of the videos, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr have provided exclusive audio commentary and filmed introductions, respectively. The 1+ Deluxe Edition, presented in an expanded 124-page illustrated hardcover book includes ‘an appreciation’ of The Beatles’ ground-breaking films and videos by music journalist and author Mark Ellen and extensive, detailed track/video annotation by music historian and author Richard Havers. 

Between 1962 and 1970, The Beatles released 27 No.1 hit singles in the U.S. and the U.K. In 2000, these timeless songs were collected for The Beatles 1, which topped the charts in 35 countries and became that decade’s bestselling album worldwide. 15 years later, 1 is revisited for this entirely new, visually-inspired presentation. 

It’s The Beatles, as you’ve never seen them before!

Crime Patrol – the original crime show

Sabak ek ko milta hai, seekh saare desh ko…12saal se crime ke khilaaf, Crime Patrol. 

It is said that self-realization is the first step towards erasing crime. Indian television’s foremost and longest running crime show, Crime Patrol on Sony Entertainment Television has been an eye-opener to millions. From teenage kids to house-wives, the show has successfully empowered people across age groups by creating awareness about the various atrocious crimes committed and justice that followed. Boasting of a loyal fan base for over a decade, the pioneer in the crime genre has completed 12 glorious years of spreading awareness and making their viewers alert.

 Crime Patrol initially started with the motive of being an eye opener to the society of the heinous crimes being committed. With its recreation of real life incidents, credible research, extensive reach and immense popularity, the show steadily became the most popular show in its genre. After making a positive impact on an entire generation, Crime Patrol today has become a means of stopping potential wrong-doers from committing crimes. 

Reinstating the trust showcased by the viewers, Sony Entertainment Television has come up with a new brand campaign which emphasizes on how Crime Patrol has led in bringing a moment of self-realization and fright for the potential criminals that convinced them to not to go ahead with their evil plans. Capturing the mindset beautifully in a short advertisement, the campaign went on air on 15^th September, 2015 on the channel. 

The Producer, Mr. Subramanian.S.Iyer said, “I am extremely proud and honoured to be able to deliver a reality based crime show to the viewers which has presented the harsh facts of crime as well as shown positive stories and made people aware. Crime Patrol is the original crime show in India and it takes up the responsibility for keeping the society alert for the same.”
