Premieres on Apr 21, 2023

Great!!!

I really had hoped that we'd get a deluxe blu-ray of all these old short films and their videos. That would have made a great item for the 60th!!!

Here is the colourized version just released:

Nice. Thanks for the reminder and post.

I’m no expert on this, but what would be the use of Blu-ray. Original it is nit filmed on high resolution. I think you can not get a better move then it was shot original. But I might be wrong.

It would be very cool to see the Stones perform this live. They’ve never done it.

I saw Alvin Youngblood Hart play it a few years ago in New Orleans at Chickie Wah Wah’s, and it was mesmerizing.

IMPORTANT QUESTION:

Does this come with a rmk?

Drew

Are the people who portray the young girl, young woman and elderly women anyone noteworthy by chance?

Well I only went with blu-ray because it's a newer technology than DVD.

the colour version seems to have a cropped picture comparing to the b/w one

Yeah I wanted that as well. But I think the market for blurays is now too small. You can just make your own YouTube playlist and watch it on your tv in 4K.

Analog film doesn't have resolution in the sense of how many pixels are used. To scan an analog film with a higher digital resolution makes total sense. You cannot necessarily improve the amount of detail information but the overall sharpness of the picture.

I'm happy with the black and white 4K version. If someday they can upgrade the color to this quality I'm more than interested.

Who is talking at the beginning of the track? I thought it was Keith but not sure. And what is he saying??

Until about a year ago I'd have agreed with you.

But the technique of "up-processing" (a word I just invented) seems to be very good. Peter Jackson's production company did a stunning job on The Beatles "Get Back" movie - films on crappy-vision, yet I watched it on IMAX without a problem I could spot.

What a haunting video......

Fantastic to see in color but still a really weird whacked out video. Just so odd

This is of course undeniably 100% correct, yet not mentioned (that I can find) in the wiki article.

(Only mentioned briefly is her role as Dr Ruth Ellingham in Doc Martin. A really good TV series and she got some great lines in it.)

Captain Corella

Was Brian’s part filmed separately from the rest of the band, because he’s not in any scenes with them.

Eileen Atkins, in particular, what a career!

it seems that way doesn't it

also why is he filmed in such a weird almost menacing way?

lurking behind trees and such

Very worth going to this link and using the opportunity to look at how the 'best' version of the video looked like before the restoration!

CLASSIC Stones .....

This has been discussed here previously. I'm sure it's Mick in his falsetto voice but hard to hear what he's saying.

I'm sure I hear a second person's voice come in at the end and say just a word or two.
