George Slv 11th Jan 2016		LaserDisc Swing: The Best Of The Big Bands - Volume 2 (1987)	Related VHS.
George Slv 30th Nov 2015		VHS Swing: The Best Of The Big Bands - Volume 3 (1987)	For any selections not otherwise available, you gotta getcherself a videotape player. Was also available on laserdisc.
George Slv 29th Nov 2015		VHS The Turn Of The Screw (1992) - Live Home Video (1993)	There is no English DVD. DVDs of other nations don't include the Enlish soundtrack.
George Slv 29th Nov 2015		LaserDisc Swing: The Best Of The Big Bands - Volume 2 (1987)	This was the only video release to ever include Teresa Brewer's 1951 Snader performance of Old Man Mose, probably her most interesting of those. There was also a VHS release. [YouTube Video] YT video from the VHS source, slightly tinted. I got this for its importance but can't play LD.
George Slv 20th Nov 2015		DVD Das Boot - Columbia TriStar (1998)	Could somebody give information regarding full length or cut versions and language spoken for these releases. What do you think is the best way to watch this one for English.
George Slv 29th Oct 2015		DVD The Muppet Show 2 - Buena Vista (2010)	Season 2 guests included Jaye P.Morgan, Bob Hope, Teresa Brewer, John Cleese.
George Slv 23rd Oct 2015		DVD The Shadow Of The Cat - Final Cut Entertainment (2014)	When BHP closed a couple years later the title passed to Hammer Films.
George Slv 15th Oct 2015		DVD Heidi [1952] - Praesens-Film AG (2009)	If anyone can find how to get this in Canada let me know.
George Slv 24th Sep 2015		DVD The Court Jester - Paramount (2006)	I bought this in Canada in 2007 for $6. Now with stock almost run out it's selling for ~$100 on Amazon.ca.
George Slv 12th Jul 2015		DVD Abbott And Costello - Legendary Comedy Duo (Vol 2)	To figure the release history: The disc says released by Television Classics, Volume 2. The cover says released by Keepsake Pictures. I think Classics had a 3 DVD series of releases, and Keepsake likely only chose to reissue the second. So all of these would have been digitally remastered.
George Slv 11th Jul 2015		DVD Abbott And Costello - Legendary Comedy Duo (Vol 2)	Teresa Brewer song and dance of Roll Them Roly Boly Eyes on the second show here from 1953 [YouTube Video]
George Slv 11th Jul 2015		DVD Abbott And Costello - Legendary Comedy Duo (Vol 2)	There are various releases of these TV shows. I feature this because it's remastered, presumably better than others. Picture and sound are crisp. Does this mean other similar releases were not mastered the same way? However they are all from kinescopes, which was a movie film made off a TV screen during the live show. There was no video tape. So the basic picture has some clarity issues, there are white margins along vertical borders, like faces. This is also a characteristic of VHS HQ - white clipping, so I'd like to know the exact generations this has passed thru. These shows seem to be public domain now.
George Slv 26th May 2015		DVD Blood On Satan's Claw - Anchor Bay Entertainment (2003)	Let's just say they tried. Okay it's got those horror elements. But it's known that it's really an unfinished film project, without a coherent script. It was first intended to be a 3-film trilogy. So what you get in this is scattered scenes from a much longer story.
George Slv 8th May 2015		DVD Sky Captain And The World Of Tomorrow - Paramount (2005)	The actors were appearing in front of computer-generated backgrounds in this film. Something taken farther by Sin City.
