Beatles a Go-Go
Great document of the early Beatles appearances on the cult British music programme “Ready Steady Go”, although the version I watched was a 48 minute extended version. This of course was before the band themselves helped usher in the promo – video age with their own song-films – from about “Help” onwards, in fact.

Here they lip-synch their way (John less successfully than the others!) through their early smashes and also some great B-sides (remember them?) too – like “I’ll Get You”, “She’s a Woman” and “You Can’t Do That”. The boys seem to enjoy themselves throughout, – check Ringo doing the frug with Cathy McGowan, answering the usually between-songs inane questions (some delivered by celebrity guest-hostess Dusty Springfield) with wit and panache, Lennon wasting no opportunity to shamelessly plug his first book “In His Own Write”.

The camera work is pretty all over the place – during George’s classic solo for “Can’t Buy Me Love”, we get a close-up of Ringo beating the skins, for some reason – but just sit back, take in the great songs and relive the initial success of the world’s greatest ever band, just like I did.

This DVD is Rare
This DVD is of the very earliest days of The Beatles phenomenon and was filmed live for British T.V show Ready Steady Go. If you were going onto stardom it was necessary to appear on Ready Steady Go. For teenagers all over Britain, early Friday evenings were dominated by one 30-minute program Ready, Steady, Go! which promised, “the weekend starts here”.

The Beatles, The Rolling Stones and The Who were on the verge of taking the music world by storm, a time when 60’s youth culture hit the streets running and swept aside all that stood in its way, a time that was fresh and exciting. The show finished in 1966 at the height of its popularity and has since gone on to attain cult status.
