The Dave Clark video was an extremely shoddy package. Released on 29th April 1985 with the misleading title “Ready Steady Go! The Beatles Live!”, a large chunk of the original show was cut, including the Beatles performing Shakespeare. Worst of all, as John Lennon bid farewell, “All you need is love” was dubbed over the credits (although this song was only recorded 3 years later, it‘s completely out of synch with the mop top era). The video was all the more disappointing at the time as I think only 2 other Beatle video’s were then officially available, “The Complete Beatles” and “A Hard Day’s Night”. I have the entire film of this including all the shakespeare at the beggining, all the other artist present on that show (which i believe Dave Clark also cut out of his release) and at the end after John Lennon says "you've got a lucky face" the beatles burst into a rendition of Shout!! Its really rather good.

Was the clip aired on the AMA videotape or a film conversion? Come to that, is "Around The Beatles" extant on VT?

This whole Beatles performance is actually available to buy on a DVD called 'Around the World' which you can easily get from HMV. Same DVD also features one of the Budokan concerts and the Washington concert -though none of them are in very good quality -all from scratchy film prints. It surprised me that these are available in a legit shop as I always thought Apple controlled everything with the Beatles material that used Beatles music -most other unofficial DVDs don't appear to contain any Beatle recordings.

Probably it's because they're imports and wherever these DVDs come from, Apple don't have the rights in that territory. Probably explains the quality of the film prints for the Budokhan concert too (i.e. they have to make do with whatever they've had for years as Apple aren't going to provide them with a pristine VT copy as they'd like to control the releases more tightly if they could - that is to say, release sod all all apart from the Anthology, same as it's ALWAYS been!)

Believe it or not, Apple actually licensed the Japanese video of the Budokan concerts (through a company called VAP). In an interview with Neil Aspinal back in the early 90's, he said that it was a sound move to consent to the release as pirate copies had been cleaning up the Asian market for years.
Wonder if he's seen the Chronology DVD!
