DVD Review: Worth owning despite poor video quality
Summary: 3 Stars
The documentary itself is excellent, a mix of seldom-seen archival footage and early-1980s interviews with the artists, composers and producers. (Watch for the eerily prescient comments about Phil Spector, recorded 25 years before his murder conviction. Ellie Greenwich: "Was he brilliant? Yes. Was he frightening? Yes. Was he crazy...?")
If only the quality were better. Of course you don't expect perfection in newsreel and kinescope/videotape footage from the early sixties... but even the eighties-vintage interviews look like dubs from VHS. In fact, my laserdisc copy of this title is equal to or better than the DVD.
But with all that said... by the time you're ten minutes into the show, you'll have forgotten about the grainy picture and will just sit back and revel in the wonderful music. Warts and all, this disc is definitely worth owning for anyone who loves this genre.
DVD Review: The roots of girl groups
Summary: 5 Stars
Though the video quality is not the absolute best, the music is concise and clear. The story, shows the gossip and production routes of girl groups of the 1950' and 1960's. The music is something to be cherished. The story are good and will wet your appetite for more information.DVD Review: THE REAL THING !!!
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the DVD exact counterpart of the VHS tape of the same name, but is remarkably clean and clear...for material of this type, both the picture and sound are of excellent quality. If you are familiar with the VHS I am sure you will want this; if you are not familiar with the VHS but love the REAL THING GIRL GROUP, which only exists in the sixties, then you are in for a fantastic boon: Angels, Ronettes, Exciters, Supremes, Dixie Cups, Martha and Vandellas, Shangri-Las, Marvelettes, Shirelles, more... and some very excellent commentary of the phenom by the original players. PRICELESS!!
