The mysterious curse of The Beatles‘ Let It Be sessions seems to have permeated across 50 years, all the way to 2022 with the inability to get to a release date that everyone was happy with…..
Disney and Apple have experienced huge issues in getting Peter Jackson’s wonderful three-part opus out to the public on physical media (i.e. Blu-ray and DVD). There have been a few false starts this year but it seems finally the release is definitely on again. Hence this email from the official US Beatle store in our inbox this morning:
The official Beatle page also trumpets that The Beatles Get Back is definitely on again. At least on Blu-ray. It’s hard to find on either site a reference or images of the DVD…….
As previously announced before it was withdrawn, the Blu-ray will come in a ‘Collector’s Pack’:
This contains a tri-fold inner holding the three discs, one for each of the three parts that have been available as a stream on Disney+:
And also included are four Get Back collector’s cards, one for each Beatle:
There’s no bonus material however. It could be argued though that we’re already getting lots of that ‘bonus’ material on these discs as the original Get Back film (as initially planned for streaming release last year) had many extra hours added to it by director, Peter Jackson before it made it to Disney+.

So i’m a bit confused. Was it released on February, 08th or July, 12th ? or was there two differents DVD and two DVD BRs ? or only one DVD set and on BR set to collect? only one entry or two ?

I think (from memory) that there were some copies of the DVD and the Blu-Ray that ended up in stores during February 2022, but then promptly disappeared. They were taken off shelves after a letter from the distributors to store holders. Then, in July, it was all back on again and that’s when Apple got fully behind publicising the release. https://www.thebeatles.com/beatles-get-back-docuseries-available-blu-raytm-and-dvd-july-12
But even then there weren’t heaps of copies around as I recall. Where I am in Australia for example I don’t think I’ve ever seen it physically for sale on a store shelf.
So, yes. Some of those Discogs entries giving a February release date are correct. As are the July release date entries as well. https://www.discogs.com/master/2704850-The-Beatles-Get-Back
One February entry says: “This is the first released DVD version, which came out on February 8, 2022. The DVD version that was released on July 12, 2022 has a similar cover, but a different barcode / UPC (786936894608).” Hope this helps!
