The Beatles‘ 1964 trip to America will be chronicled in a new documentary from producer Martin Scorsese and director David Tedeschi.

Titled Beatles’ 64, the film will be released on Disney+ on Nov. 29 and features never-before-seen footage of the band and its legions of young fans during the height of Beatlemania. It also includes new interviews with the two surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.

The documentary follows McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Starr as they land in New York City in February 1964 and solidify their status as the biggest band in the world. Beatles’ 64 promises to tell a more intimate behind the scenes story of the Fab Four as they debut on The Ed Sullivan Show to more than 73 million viewers, which back then was the most-watched television event of all time.

Beatles ’64 features rare footage filmed by documentarians Albert and David Maysles, restored in 4K by Park Road Post in New Zealand.

Producing alongside Scorsese are Margaret Bodde, McCartney, Starr, Olivia Harrison, Sean Ono Lennon, Jonathan Clyde and Mikaela Beardsley, with Jeff Jones and Rick Yorn serving as executive producers.

This isn’t Scorsese’s first venture into Beatle-land. In 2011, he directed George Harrison: Living in the Material World, a documentary on the live of the Liverpudlian guitarist and his travels to India. Scorsese has also helmed music docs about Bob Dylan and the Band.

A week before the release of Beatles’ 64, on Nov. 22, seven American Beatles albums will be reissued in a vinyl collection titled The Beatles: 1964 U.S. Albums in Mono. The boxed set includes albums that have been out of print on vinyl since 1995, including Meet The Beatles!, The Beatles’ Second Album, A Hard Day’s Night (Original Motion Picture Sound Track), Something New, The Beatles’ Story (2LP), Beatles’ 65 and The Early Beatles.
