JAKARTA - Full footage of The Beatles' earliest performance will be distorted and given to "national cultural institutions" in the UK.

Earlier last week, April 4, it was reported that the footage had been found almost exactly 60 years from the day it was made.

A quarter-inch, one-hour-long cassette recording was made by John Bloomfield at Buckinghamshire's boarding school in Buckinghamshire on April 4, 1963, when The Beatles performed performances there.

Bloomfield, now 75, was only 15 years old at the time. He revealed the whereabouts of the footage to journalist Samira Ahmed who visited mirid when they created a special program for Radio 4's Front Row to mark the 60th anniversary of the show.

Now, there are plans to restore the old cassette, which contains full-duration shows and includes a segment of words spoken from The Beatles as they interact with the audience.

"Talks are being carried out to clean up [the list] and for permanent homes in national cultural institutions," Ahmed told The Observer.

"John [Bloomfield] is very confident that it should not end, as has been owned by so many Beatles relics, in private individual vaults."

"It was a unique Beatles show, performed in front of an almost all-male audience," Ahmed wrote of the discovery recently. And most importantly, despite the loud cheers and screams, the recording was not drowned by the audience's reaction.

The list consists of songs from the debut album The Beatles Please Please Me, which was released on March 22, 1963, as well as several cover versions of the legendary group R&B.
