Getting This On DVD
2009-06-07 - Hello fellow fans of this film who are frustrated with our lack of ability to see it, buy a DVD, and so-on. I am not writing a proper review, but am posting this "heads-up" in the review area because I'm not quite sure where else to put it. I wanted to point out that I noticed today there are some "tagging" areas here at Amazon.com where we can apparently add this and other films to lists where we think they should be brought out on DVD. So, for example, I added this and another film to the tagging lists "DVD Please", "Ought to be on DVD" and so on:
[...]

I also added my email to the list to be notified when a DVD is brought out. I guess the tagging feature for ought-to-be-on-DVD type of tag is not exactly new, since there are plenty of films with a dozen or more such tags, but it seems to be new to me and new to this film here on Amazon.com, as I didn't see those tags yet. So, I think it's a good thing for us, that we have an additional outlet now by which to keep track of and express our enthusiasm for this film being made available for viewing.

I wonder if Jay Leno is now retired from his main job if he might take an interest in helping this film get to publication again?

Anyway, sorry for the non-standard use of the review area to discuss these matters, but I didn't know where else to discuss the information so it would eventually reach the other fans of getting this onto DVD.

I wonder if this tagging feature will make any difference, at all, or if we'll just keep asking to be allowed to buy movies and if the movie industry will just keep telling us to wait and that there is not enough demand or that they can't get it together on certain films or who-knows-what.

Release this on DVD NOW!!
2009-05-01 - I just feel lucky that I have a ripped copy off of TV! This is easily one of my all time favorite films. The film captures the time, the commotion, the life that rock 'n roll brought to the masses! Do yourself a favor and try to get a hold of this film. Paramount needs to release this film NOW! It is a shame everyday that this film sits in a warehouse deteriorating. Bring it back from the dead!

who introduced rock'n'roll to teenage American radio audiences in the 1950's.
Freed was a source of great controversy:
criticized by conservatives for corrupting youth
with the "devil's music"; hated by racists for promoting
African American music for white consumption;
persecuted by law enforcement officials
and finally brought down by the "payola" scandals.
