New Dvd - Fame Studios 1970, Chicago The Cradle Of R & B

[Pete S]

IT'S BEEN A LONG TIME SINCE I HAD ANY DECENT NEW DVD MATERIAL BUT THIS DISC IS FANTASTIC...SOME OF THE BEST ARCHIVE FOOTAGE I'VE BEEN ABLE TO GET HOLD OF.

CONTENTS INCLUDE:

THE CRADLE OF RHYTHM & BLUES - A BRILLIANT DOCUMENTARY ABOUT CHICAGO SOUL AND IT'S LEGENDARY 'RECORD ROW' WHERE MANY OF THE FAMOUS RECORD LABELS WERE HOUSED. IT MAINLY DEALS WITH CHESS AND VEEJAY BUT ALSO TOUCHES ON MANY OF THE OTHER SMALLER LABELS AND FEATURES GREAT FOOTAGE FROM THE LIKES OF BETTY EVERETT, MAJOR LANCE, ETTA JAMES, GENE CHANDLER ETC AND INTERVIEWS WITH MANY LEGENDARY NAMES FROM THE CHICAGO MUSIC SCENE OF THE 60'S. IT'S NARRATED BY ETTA JAMES HERSELF AND WAS ONLY SHOWN IN THE USA ON A PUBLIC FUNDED CHANNEL.

SECONDLY, A 1970 DOCUMENTARY FROM SWEDISH TV ABOUT THE FAME RECORDING STUDIOS IN MUSCLE SHOALS. QUALITY IS NOT PERFECT BUT YOU GET TO SEE THE MUSICIANS AND PRODUCERS IN THE STUDIO - PROBABLY THE ONLY FOOTAGE IN EXISTENCE.

THEN THERE'S AN INCREDIBLE CONCERT FROM GERMAN TV FEATURING SAM & DAVE AT THEIR VERY PEAK - THIS IS DIFFERENT FROM THE WELL KNOWN FOOTAGE FROM THE STAX VOLT TOUR - THIS IS THEIR OWN SHOW AND THEY EVEN HAVE LEE DORSEY AS SUPPORT, PERFORMING 'GET OUT OF MY LIFE WOMAN' AND 'RIDE YOUR PONY'

OTHER ITEMS ON THIS DISC INCLUDE SYL JOHNSON LIVE, AND AMAZING FOOTAGE OF THE SHOWSTOPPERS PERFORMING 'AIN'T NOTHING BUT A HOUSEPARTY' LIVE ON TOP OF THE POPS BACK IN 1971.

NONE OF THIS FOOTAGE IS AVAILABLE ON OR PIRATED FROM LEGAL SOURCES. IT ONLY EXISTS VIA COLLECTORS.

PRICE 12.00 INCLUDING POSTAGE.

THIS IS NO FRILLS, I HAVEN'T DONE A COVER AND IT'LL COME IN A PLASTIC SLEEVE, BUT IT DOES HAVE A FULLY ANIMATED MENU SO YOU CAN CHOOSE WHAT YOU WATCH.
