Move over, Ms L!

Hi all, wondering why you are looking at this jumbled up page? This is due to the fact that Facebook didn't like our url since it starts with wog, so we have been forced to move the blog. This was some time ago, and we have placed a script which would automatically send you to our new location. Obviously, this hasn't worked for all of you, since we have just finished moderating some of your comments which appeared on this site recently, and not on our new (and improved!) site. So what we're saying is head on over to our new site, and update your bookmarks!

Let It Be on Blu-Ray

Beatles bootleg specialists "Fab Productions" have released the first ever Blu-ray version of "Let It Be". They are claiming this to be a 1080p transfer from the 35MM print direct to Blu-Ray in 16:9 aspect ratio, augmented by a remasted stereo soundtrack.
Although this fills a void in any Beatles video collection, everyone is anticipating a definitive, official release of this Beatles movie. It has been suggested that since 2012 will be a big anniversary year for the group (50 years since "Love Me Do"), we may see an official "Let It Be" after all these years.

Another Blu-ray title from the Fab Productions company is a 2-disc release from Paul McCartney's recent "On The Run" tour. The film contains every song performed on the tour, taken from 7 of the 8 concert performances. Since many of the people who upload songs from the concerts on YouTube are filming in 1080p resolution with an aspect ratio of 16:9, it certainly makes sense to make the switch from DVD-R to recordable Blu-ray discs for releases like this.

Hope this is really what it says it is....an not a print of the earlier widescreen LIB video with questionable sound we saw earlier.
So sad and frustrating is the quibbling and control freak obstructionism that has left a real release on the shelf by the remaining players associated with the Beatles.
Is there hope for MMT in Blu-ray?

I'm also wondering if this is the real deal. Hobs version was great, lets not hope its an up-conversion of the same video source. Blue ray is the thing we need for our video Beatleg collection, I hope every footage is properly re-transferred in the best possible source!

Did some checking with relaible sources. It is an upconversion of the Hobs source. Told it was a little better video wise.
