Казалось бы, The Beatles изучены вдоль и поперёк не только фанатами, но и матёрыми музыкальными критиками. Предпринимаются даже попытки найти новые смыслы в и так до боли прямолинейных текстах песен. Историю создания и ошеломительного успеха группы экранизируют как британцы, так и американцы. Но поле изучено, остаётся высасывать из пальца фактический материал.
Дайте пищу для ума! Дайте полёт фантазии! Дайте сенсацию, чтобы подкрепить всеобщий интерес к британской группе.
Не всё так плохо, и отчаиваться не стоит. Ведь порой всё-таки всплывают новые истории, которые пополняют копилочку фонда всеобщего достояния. Как, например, ежегодно появляются новые интервью с воспоминаниями знакомых об Иене Кёртиссе, солисте легендарной группы Joy Division, который покончил с собой.
А иногда и вовсе залёживаются в каком-нибудь ветхом шкафчике настоящие шедевры. Как это было с романом Джека Керуака и Уильяма Берроуза «И бегемоты сварились в своих бассейнах», который опубликовали лишь в 2008 году. Он ждал своего звездного часа больше полувека.
Последней сенсацией про The Beatles была новость о том, что Пол Маккартни скончался еще в 50-х, а ныне его роль ежедневно играет двойник. Но вирусная утка долго не прожила.
Теперь же настал черед более правдивого материала. Австралийский национальный архив кино и музыки не так давно опубликовал видео, в котором участники группы готовятся к одному из выступлений в Австралии. Видео было случайно найдено дома танцовщицей, которая и сняла его в гримерке The Beatles в далёком 1965 году.

Опубликовано: 25 апр. 2016 г.
Never-before-seen footage of The Beatles, getting ready for the special The Music of Lennon & McCartney on 1 November 1965. This clip is silent.
Footage shot by Dawn Swane, an Australian dancer and make-up artist who at the time was working at Granada TV in Manchester.
Dawn says: 'I was in the makeup room. And so we were having some champagne and so we started to, well we were all drinking some champagne. [...] And anyway, I don’t know if it was John or if it was Ringo but they took the camera off me and said, “This is no way to use a camera and they sort of jiggled it upside down and inside out a bit, and everybody was just mucking around. But that was great. I mean they were a nice group of people. They really were'.
Dawn's collection of home movies and video recordings have been donated to the NFSA by her daughter, production designer Melinda Doring.
