I bid on it, but it's over $50 at this point and I want to stay married. Hope someone here gets it!
With it being a DiscoVision title, it's probably rotted anyway. The latest scuttlebutt from "insiders" is that Let It Be is being prepped for 2020, but we've heard similar rumors before that haven't come to pass.While i was on Ebay i did a search on the Beatles Let It Be on laserdisc and two sellers have it for over $200!

It sounds like it used the same transfer as the TCM showing, which at least means it looks a lot better than the older, US laserdisc. Considering there isn't really a good capture of the TCM showing "accessible" online, it's probably the best one can hope for, given that it doesn't look like it will ever get a proper restoration.Bid with only 5 seconds left to get the lowest price. If it doesn't look any better than the TCM broadcast, save your money and don't bid.
Roland: What can I do with these, or are you just showing me a good "frame" to measure by? Also, the Japanese version arrived today. Haven't played it yet, but maybe I should watch a bit just to see how distracting those subtitles will be?
Has anyone recorded the Turner broadcast on DVR?[/QUOTE said:It will be on TCM October 1, 5:30pm EST
Quite possibly the Japanese LD, which was made by Pioneer apparently, was indeed taken from that 65mm interpositive, but of course that doesn't explain why the extra side info was only contained in the prologue.Just showing the extra picture info on the sides on the Japanese compared to the US and other differences. What is odd is that the extra picture info on the sides in only in the prologue and opening credits. After that, they look about the same. If they are both from 35mm, why would they have two different versions?

Hi Roland,And opening credits. The US laser disc pans side-to-side some of it, while the Japanese does not have to with the wider aspect ratio.
