22.4.71 Different video filmed two days earlier on location for "Cilla in Scandanavia" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bvEexTomE1I

Always assumed that was the 'official' video.

This is the official one...

He must have filmed it at the house where he was a neighbour of Lulu and Maurice Gibb.

Yes, Sunny Heights in Weybridge.

Yes, Sunny Heights in Weybridge.

That was his home in Beatle days, close to where John lived. He then bought Peter Sellars house late 68 which was further out (and where they had the meeting with George after he walked out of the Get Back filming), a year later he moved again to the house on the same road as Lulu in North London, just over a mile from where Ray and Dave Davies grew up.

On checking, the video contains some old 1968 Sunny Heights footage but some from other locations:

1971:

It Don't Come Easy- Version #1


It Don't Come Easy, Version #1.
Directed by Ringo Starr.

Although reported as "filmed" at Ringo's Sunny Heights house in Weybridge, Surrey, a closer look reveals that contains footage from at least 3 different years, from late 1968 or early 1969, 1970 and 1971, since there are at least four different looks from Ringo over the video: scenes with beard and without, longest and shorter hair, moustache ("Candy" era) etc, plus also more home movies that could come from his other two homes (and also from Sunny Heights) from 1968 and 1969 : Brookfields, Elstead also in Surrey; and Roundhill, Highgate. Also, by 1971, Sunny Heights wasn't even one of his properties, he and his family left that home by the end of 1968 and it was sold by 1969, so he couldn't be filmed there in 1971.

So, we can assure that Version #1 was not "filmed" specifically to make a video (at least not in full), but consists of a compilation of  home movies and other footage from many years and was put together  in form of a video to be broadcast on Top of The Pops 22 April, 1971.

The original audio mix for Version #1 runs faster and for that reason, the video is shorter in time (only 2:46 vs 2:59 on the other two versions or the commercial version). This very same mix was duplicated (using the remastered audio) on the official DVD release "Photograph: The Best of Ringo Starr" from 2007.

Oh right... think I've seen that before, actually. The snow one will always be the official one to me.
