It comes from the TV Special "Around The Beatles" produced by Jack Good in 1964. Dave Clark took The Beatles performances from this show and released them on their own on VHS trying to pass it off as a Ready Steady Go special. Clark later took other artistes performances from this show - PJ Proby, Sounds Incorporated, Cilla Black etc and tried to pass them off as RSG clips! Seems then that Dave Clark "owns" this show. It's the show where they performed "Shout" which you can hear on the first "Anthology" album.
This is floating about with claims it was shot in colour which is nonsense. Somebody colorised this in a similar manner to many colorised b+w Doctor Who clips.

When Ready Steady Go was broadcast on Channel 4 in 1984 Dave Clark claimed he owned the rarest clip Beatles television clip available. I know a lot of rare Beatles material has surfaced since but I always assumed Clark was referring to this clip because he left it off the VHS release. Having read other other post the general view appears to be what Mr Clark says should taken very lightly.

I think its a crime this show was chopped the way it was,I'm sure if it had been released in its entirety people would still buy it (I would), along with Granada's "Music Of Lennon and McCartney", there isnt much in the way of complete TV shows featuring The Beatles out there and it does make you wonder why the likes of these shows still havent recieved an official DVD release...

It is available on a DVD called 'Beatles Around The World' (in the original black and white)
I bought my copy in HMV though I haven't noticed a copy of it around lately. It did surprise me that it was available in a legit record shop as it contained the music whereas most of the other DVDs I 've ever seen in featuring the Beatles which is not an Apple release don't have any original tunes. The DVD not only contained the full show but also the Washington Concert and a bad quality Budokan concert (taken from film )

Thats interesting, I wonder if its one that has accidentally filtered through like an overseas release or something, I've seen a few versions of Magical Mystery Tour on DVD in bargain basement type shops but am assuming these are also foreign releases as I know it still hasnt had an official UK release on DVD (besides I copied my old VHS onto a DVD a while back so am hardly looking to buy it until it recieves a proper release with some good extras).

Question: Is there any truth to the claim that Shakespeare was a poor speller?
Answer: Writers in the Elizabethan age cared little for spelling rules, although they did follow a few. It was acceptable to spell words a variety of ways (perhaps it kept things interesting). So, by today's standards, Shakespeare's spelling was indeed awful, but not so in his day.
there are only 6 surviving examples of the bards signature in existence and all of them are spelt differently so there is no such thing a definitive spelling of his surname
