6) Best Of The Beat
THIS FOOTAGE FROM THE BEAT IS ALL TAKEN FROM THE FANTASTIC LOCAL TEXAS TV SHOW BROADCAST FROM 1965 TO EARLY 1967. IN MANY CASES IT IS THE ONLY FOOTAGE AVAILABLE OF THESE ARTISTS. MY ORIGINAL COMPILATION HAD TO BE DUBBED FROM A MASTER VHS COPY WHICH IN TURN WAS RECORDED FROM THE SEPARATE ORIGINALS, THEREFORE YOU WERE AUTOMATICALLY TWO AWAY FROM THE MASTER TAPE. THIS TIME I'VE RECORDED IT STRAIGHT FROM THE MASTER ONTO DVD, AND THEN COPIED THE DVD, LOSING NO QUALITY WHATSOEVER.
NOTE THAT A TIME CODE RUNS THROUGHOUT THESE CLIPS, AFTER A WHILE YOU GET USED TO IT AND DON'T NOTICE IT. THE QUALITY IS VG. VERY FEW PICTURE BREAKS AND FULL COLOUR, BUT DUE TO THE SOURCE AND THE FACT IT WAS TRANSFERRED OVER FROM NTSC, DO NOT EXPECT DIGITAL QUALITY. IT IS PERFECTLY GOOD THOUGH AND IF ANYONE HAD TOLD ME THAT I WOULD BE ABLE TO WATCH THE LIKES OF MAMIE GALORE, GERRI HALL, JAMO THOMAS AND THE DOLLS PERFORMING THEIR NORTHERN CLASSICS ON MY OWN TV, I'D HAVE SAID THEY WERE MAD!
