All You Need Is Love has frequently been described as the "definitive
music documentary," and is regarded just as highly today as 'cult
viewing' as it was over 30 years ago when it was first broadcast.
In the mid-70s, at the suggestion of John Lennon, the celebrated
journalist and film director Tony Palmer decided to document the
"Story of Popular Music" and set about interviewing and filming all
the major players in the industry at that time, past and present. Even
in the mid-70s this was seen as a monumental task, but despite the
scale of the undertaking, Tony Palmer made a series of films that set
the standard to which all subsequent biographers and documentary
makers aspired to.
The critically acclaimed All You Need Is Love was broadcast across the
world between 1976 and 1981. But since that time, it has neither been
repeated nor commercially released on either video or DVD.
“A monumental achievement. Thank you.” - John Lennon
“Magnificent...the editing is truly outstanding. A priceless archive.”
- Bing Crosby
“Its colossal emotional and intellectual range I doubt will ever be
bettered.” - Pete Seeger
“Palmer’s brilliant exposition has reconciled, drawn together the
multifarious strands of the world’s most fascinating music in a way
never before attempted so comprehensively ... with magisterial
clarity. It’s simply the best thing yet on the subject and long
overdue. Magnificent.” - Sunday Times (London)
“Visually rich as mass entertainment ... its appeal should transcend
most frontiers ... loaded with musical personalities.” - Variety
“Scholarly ... one of the most comprehensive volumes to appear on
pop.., the shows will attract a massive audience.” - Evening Standard
(London)
