Real Love video - 2 versions?

Hi, this is my first post in these forums, I hope to come here often, it seems very interesting. Sorry if my English is not very good.

I have this doubt about the Real Love video, the clip that is on the Anthology DVD, isn´t it slightly different from the one that came out in 1996?

I had it on a VHS tape for some time, and I can´t remember seeing Olivia Harrison and Barbara Bach on it, and also I think there was a still picture of George (with long hair), like there was for the other 3, and that picture it´s not on the new video.

Am I wrong, or there are 2 versions of the Real Love video, and if so, why is that?

Thanks.

Hi and welcome!! [img]graemlins/wave1.gif[/img] Yes, there are two versions, but I'm not sure why two were made. [img]graemlins/thinker.gif[/img]

Welcome!

I've heard that there's 2 versions of "real love" as well, though i didn't think the variation was even that subtle.

I vaguely remember hearing that P, G & R thought there was 'too much' of John & Yoko as a couple in the original video, so it was amended to show more of Linda, Olivia & Barbara. [img]graemlins/images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img]

I have the one from the telecast from '95 on tape and this other one that's on the new dvd seems to have more of Olivia, Barbara & Linda on it. I think that's the only difference. I think it's much nicer that way too.

Thank you all guys [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
That makes sense, it wasn´t fair having Yoko on the video and not having Linda, Olivia and Barbara, especiallly because of Yoko´s "popularity" among the Threetles. But maybe the producers should have thought of that in the first place.

Hi and welcome.
The only one I can remember seeing is actually Olivia...I guess I have to watch it again to find Barbara. ^__^

She appears twice, at 2.39 and at 2.59.
