Good idea, but poor execution
This DVD was something I looked forward to, but unfortunately, fell short of my expectations. First, off.... the first video of "Please Mr. Postman" by the Marvelettes carries HORRIFIC film faults running down BOTH SIDES of the picture throughout the entire performance. The sad part is that Universal released this sad quality version on DVD when the same footage on YOUTUBE doesn't carry that fault (Only has minor fault on one side, intermittently)a rank amateur obviously did the transfers for this DVD, as color balance if off many times, and some clips have been artificially sharpened, and the result is VERY grainy footage. Universal was also very cheap in that they did no digital correction of any film or video tape faults. The clip of "Tears Of A Clown" looks great, until the color flickers in a couple of places, something that could have easliy been corrected with today's technology.
