BEATLEVISION: Don’t hold your breath for a sneak preview of the documentary “The Beatles Anthology,” airing on ABC in November. No copies are being made available for the press, at least for now.

But a five-minute “trailer” of very short excerpts reveals some tantalizing footage. Among the most intriguing: an apparently colorized version of the 1967 live TV performance of “All You Need Is Love,” which was the first-ever global satellite telecast and 1963 home movie clips of the lads frolicking at the seashore a la “A Hard Day’s Night.”

The surviving Beatles--Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr--reportedly will do no press to promote the series or the upcoming CD collections of unreleased music and a 26-hour radio documentary. Word is that Harrison, long embittered about negative aspects of Beatlemania, is particularly reticent and McCartney and Starr are wary of upsetting him by granting interviews.
