"There is hype, and then, there is this junk. Archival Treasures lures one into thinking that there may be something special inside a snazzy tin box, perhaps some Beatle footage or some special music. Nope. Nada. Nyet!

The box lures you in with the possibility of winning a piece of history or some sort of memoribilia, instead it gives you a documentary on some idiots memoribilia collection and all you get is a cheap copy of a copy, of a copy, of some Beatle concert ticket that wouldn't have gotten you access to the men's room located 25 miles from where the Beatles played!! In fact, they should have done a documentary on all the men's rooms, that way it wouldn't have stunk as bad as this box-tin!

After searching the contents and booklet that tells you the same info on the amateurish cd, you are left asking yourself, "where's the rest, is this it?" My first thought after discovering I'd been had....was...."someone just dreamed up a way to make money to go out and buy more memoribilia for themselves and everyone who buys this tin will fund it, thinking they are getting something grand.."

Now aren't you glad I warned ya?

Is this a joke?

"This presentation is truly garbage. Amateur production, no real Beatles content, no music, mostly useless footage and commentary about dime-store Beatles trinkets. Even more boring: The two "moderators" look and act like refugees from a low-rent 1970's night club act. Overall, this DVD is insulting to the Beatles' legend, to the viewers' intelligence and to the plastic it's burned on. Save your money."
