VHS THE BEATLES A Hard Days Night Black and White Classic Rock Roll Video Film

Love, love, love this film. I can't say enough to praise it!!

However, this release is imperfect. The stereo sounds a bit muddy and the picture is cropped though not quite as bad as the Criterion release. Why is it so hard for distributors to release this classic uncropped?

As for how this compares to the Criterion Collection version, it all depends on what you're looking for. The Criterion release is better restored and has better sound, and is less expensive. However, this version is less cropped. It also has more extra features. I prefer the Criterion because of the restoration but to each his own as they say.
