New
on DVD! The Beatles Anthology--
DVD The video scrapbook from 2004 loaded with 600 minutes of music and interviews with the Fab Four. All eight video programs on four DVDs in a box set. |
 |
A Hard Day's Night--
DVD Hailing from 1964, the Beatles' black and white musical rockumentary that started it all. Along with their February appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show, this film unleashed American Beatlemania. |
 |
Help-- DVD This 1965 comedy film starring the fab four is almost one long video. Fueled by a great roster of song hits, it's also the obvious inspiration for The Monkees TV show. |
 |
Yellow Submarine-- DVD Al Brodax, who also created the Beatles cartoon show, produced this visual phantasmagoria of psychedelic animation. The "four lads who shook the world" come to the aid of Pepperland, menaced by blue meanies, to prove "all you need is love." |
 |
Quadrophenia-- DVD The Who's rockumentary chronicles the conflict between mods and rockers, driven by maximum R&B in 'sixties Britain. |
 |
The Kids Are
Alright-- DVD Starting with Tommy Smothers, various hosts interview members of the Who in a medly of clips from talk shows and performances, along with live concert footage in this rock cult classic. Anniversary edition with many extras. |
 |
The Last Waltz-- DVD The Band assembled about a million friends for their 1976 farewell concert, and this Martin Scorsese film ranks among the best concert videos. Like who? Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison, Ronnie Hawkins, Emmylou Harris, Dr. John, Paul Butterfield, Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, The Staple Singers, Muddy Waters, and Ron Wood. Leonard Maltin calls it a "truly wonderful documentary." |
 |
The Cliff Richard
Collection-- DVD British teen singer, Cliff Richard remained popular both before and during Beatlemania. His teen musical, The Young Ones, predates American beach party movies. Summer Holiday predates the Beatles' films. Wonderful Life, the third film in this 3 disc collection, lost its audience to another British group in A Hard Day's Night. The hit song, "The Young Ones" was later revived as the title of a Britcom about punks who are Cliff Richard fans, which ran on MTV. |
 |
Expresso Bongo-- DVD Here's an odd, early, black and white Cliff Richard film, new to DVD. Although this is an edited version of the film, Cliff's lines and songs are intact in this little-seen cult classic. |
 |
The Monkees: Season
One-- DVD "Here we come, walking down the street." The mod four couldn't sing or play instruments but the network just advertised for four zany guys. Later they really did perform all those great Holland- Dozier- Holland songs, racking hits up the charts. |
 |
The Monkees: Season
Two-- DVD "We're the young generation, and we got something to say." Rhino went all out on packaging these two sets in boxes that look like stereos, with tons of extras of the fun foursome. |
 |
RoyOrbison: A Black
and White Night-- DVD Viewers who caught this 1988 black and white special on Showtime have been clamoring for it on video. T-Bone Burnett (O Brother, Where Art Thou?) produced this stylish special, which features one of Orbison's last filmed performances. But look who joins him in the back- up band: Bruce Springsteen, Bonnie Raitt, Elvis Costello, K.D. Lang, Tom Waits and Jennifer Warnes, to name a few, performing fifteen songs. Over 100 reviewers on Amazon.com gave this video an average of five stars (the highest rating). |
 |
Say Amen, Somebody--
DVD George Nirenburg's award-winning documentary chronicles two pioneers of the "Gospel Highway": Thomas Dorsey, formerly a piano player for blues singer Ma Rainey, and gospel songstress Mother Willie Mae Ford Smith. This is one of the last filmed interviews with Dorsey, who's characteristically witty quip gives the film it's title: "The blues ain't nothin' but a good woman feelin' bad. Say Amen, somebody." |
 |
The Gospel According
to Al Green-- DVD In this PBS documentary by Robert Mugge, the reticent R&B singer comes clean about the events that led him to become the Rev. Al Green. Spellbinding concert footage shows that the Memphis minister has lost none of his soul. |
  |

  |
