Product Description
Songwriter Seth Swirsky grew up in the 1960s idolizing the Beatles their songs, their sound and their style. In 2004, he set out, video camera in hand, to talk to people who had crossed paths with his heroes. From Sir Ben Kingsley to Sir George Martin, and Beach Boy Brian Wilson to astronomer Brian Skiff, Swirsky filmed hundreds of personal recollections from people who knew them well to those who just had an unforgettable encounter.
Others who shared their recollections of the Fabs include: former Beatles recording engineers Norman "Hurricane" Smith, Ken Scott and John Kurlander; actors Henry Winkler (aka "The Fonz") and Jon Voight; musicians Smokey Robinson, Jackie DeShannon, Graham Nash, Davy Jones, Susanna Hoffs and Art Garfunkel, among dozens of others.
Swirsky found stories in unexpected places getting Beatles intimates to open up neighbours, tour mates, business associates, even former girlfriends all telling stories you've never heard before! Long-time Beatles friend and personal assistant Tony Bramwell calls Beatles Stories, "A Magical Mystery Tour de Force!"

Who would have thought that in 2013 Beatles fans would be able to watch a DVD packed with stories they've never heard before. Seth Swirsky has clearly put his heart into this project and it has grown into something quite unique.
PS Look out for Seth Swirsky as a talented solo musician or with the Red Button!!!

This is such a wonderful, and yet simple, idea. Interviews with fans, friends and people who have met the Beatles over the years tell their stories. There is everyone from Apple Scruffs to other musicians (Denny Laine, Joey Molland, Brian Wilson, Art Garfunkel etc), from fans who took Paul and Linda's car for a spin when they left it outside the recording studio with the keys left in the ignition and those who toured with the Fabs or worked with the in the studio. Seth Swirsky is obviously a fan himself and the whole documentary has a wonderfully warm glow about it. I have to say that, if you like this, you would also enjoy the audio documentary featuring fans Presents: Fab Fan Memories the Beatles Bond.
