PATHE NEWS 1963

THE BEATLES COME TO TOWN

 Pathe News technicolor short showing The Beatles in concert at the
ABC Cinema in Manchester, Lancashire on 11/20/63.

Shown throughout cinemas during the interval between the B Movie
and Main Feature! Remember those days?!

For info re the Pathe showreel see the interesting item foot of page.

HERE'S SOMEONE WHO WAS THERE & WRITTEN TO TBIM.CO.UK TO TELL...!

'I was at the Beatles concert when Pathe News filmed, when I got to the doors
to go in they came out and told the crowd that they were going to film for pathe news,
and seeing that I was at the front of the queue I got to be in the film,

I'm the young blond boy waving his ticket like they asked us to, 
I got quite a lot of recognition after it came on the pictures,
and later they put it on the end of the HARD DAYS NIGHT
movie as a special add on,  what memories, when people ask if I ever saw
the Beatles I can now just show them the end of the movie'   Ged Platt

GED, A BIG THANKS AND HOPE THE ABOVE PIC BRINGS BACK MEMORIES?!
I'LL TRY AND GET A BETTER PIC TO ACCOMPANY THIS ASAP. 

Here are a few of the other fans at the ABC Ardwick Manchester
that night captured by Pathe News.
...are you one of those in the pic..do you recognise who?
Help us trace and get their memories!

And these ladies...who?

And the friendly Manchester policeman who smiles in
attendance back stage as the Fab Four file passed to stage!
...who is this man can anyone help?

THIS AN  INTERESTING ITEM FROM
AN EBAY SALE OF THE 16mm FILM!

Beatles Come To Town 1963 Pathe News 16mm Film
eBay Item number: 3808775630

Rare, original, IB Tech/Scope from 1963! This is the earliest color concert film
of the boys and shows a day in their life (20 November 1963). Footage shows
the Beatles at a press conference, in their dressing room, and singing "She Loves You" and "Twist & Shout" at the ABC Ardwick in Manchester. The print is
pretty used with black lines and scratches here and there, but no emulsion
scratches. The film has several splices, but the great color makes up for some
of the wear. Opening and ending Pathe News credits are there, but not the title
"The Beatles Come To Town." This is definately an original copy and rare.
Plastic can and reel. I have added the label to the top of the can. Offered from
one collector to another. No rights given or implied.

GREAT STUFF EH?!

OVER TO YOU !
