About
From Beatles Monthly Book N°124, August 1986:
Last year’s excellent BBC2/MPL “Arena” production on Buddy Holly is coming out on home video in the U.K. to celebrate this year’s Holly week — an extra special event because it would have been Buddy’s 50th birthday — and it will contain, as revealed in the February edition of this column, an extra 25 minutes of material, rounding up the documentary to a 90-minute production. Much of the extra footage will be archive material of groups performing Holly
numbers, and some Beatles material is believed to be included. It is unlikely that Paul will use the opportunity of the video to air any more of his unique 1958 Quarry Man recording of “That’ll Be the Day” beyond the 86 seconds already included.MPL has concluded arrangements with EMI’s video arm, Picture Music International, to issue the tape, with PM I releasing it on August 26, in good time for the celebrations on September 7. The retail price will be £16.99 (catalogue numbers, VHS: MVN 99 1126 2; Beta: MXN 99 1126 4). Initial quantities of the video will be available in a special gatefold wallet. The new title of the tape is “The Real Buddy Holly Story”, the word ‘Real’ doubtless inserted by MPL to supersede the much-maligned US motion picture of 1978, “The Buddy Holly Story”, in which Paul was not directly involved. Rounding off the video package will be two audio cassettes, both included in the £16.99 retail price, containing 28 original and great Holly recordings.

The Beatles Diary Volume 2: After The Break-Up 1970-2001
"An updated edition of the best-seller. The story of what happened to the band members, their families and friends after the 1970 break-up is brought right up to date. A fascinating and meticulous piece of Beatles scholarship."
We owe a lot to Keith Badman for the creation of those pages, but you really have to buy this book to get all the details - a day to day chronology of what happened to the four Beatles after the break-up and how their stories intertwined together!
The Beatles - The Dream is Over: Off The Record 2
This edition of the book compiles more outrageous opinions and unrehearsed interviews from the former Beatles and the people who surrounded them. Keith Badman unearths a treasury of Beatles sound bites and points-of-view, taken from the post break up years. Includes insights from Yoko Ono, Linda McCartney, Barbara Bach and many more.
