The Supremes: Reflections - The Definitive Performances 1964-1969 (2006) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Please if any of you had read a review by a A J Wilson, claiming that this was a special edition with 3 discs, and an extra 17 performances. This is not true! it is exactly the same as the cheaper American version. Why they advertise this copy as the "Definitive DVD collection" as opposed to the American copy of "Definitive performances collection" is beyond me. I ordered this copy after seeing the review by A J Wilson, only to find its exactly the same as the cheaper American copy.

Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard (and herreplacement Cindy Birdsong) conquered the charts and then the world throughtheir TV appearances. Their looks, their charm and of course their greathits burst from the screen and won over even the harshest critics.Now thefans can have it all over again -- the original "Dreamgirls" doing theirthing unlike any group before or since. The Supremes: Reflections, produced for UMe by Historic Films, is anextraordinary DVD collection -- their greatest hits on video in any formfor the first time. Included are not only the classic appearances from theEd Sullivan Show and Hullaballo, but incredible rare footage not seen sincefirst aired more than 40 years ago. As a fabulous bonus, a click of thesub-title button will also reveal entertaining and revealing trivia abouteach clip.Then there's the DVD extras, the icing on the cake: additional rare clipsof "Baby Love" and "Stop! In The Name Of Love," early footage of the triodoing their first top 40 hit, and uncut footage from the documentaryAnatomy Of Pop that includes an interview with Berry Gordy. As with allother UMe/Motown DVD collections, all audio has been significantlyupgraded; where the group has lip-synced to the record, you'll now hearremastered stereo right from the Motown vault.1.

The T.A.M.I. Show Collector's Edition (1964) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)On October 28th and 29th in 1964, free tickets were given to all the local high school students in and around Santa Monica, California to attend the first ever T.A.M.I. Show. T.A.M.I. was used as a shortened version of the name Teenage Awards Music International, also known as Teen Age Music International. This 1964 concert show was filmed in 2 days and the best of the film's footage was used for the two hour movie which was shown in theaters all around the world. The director Steve Binder and his crew from the Steve Allen show filmed this concert with tv camera's and recorded it in Electronovision-one of the first ever high definition video camera's that captured 1000 to 1100 lines at 25 fps. The resolution of this film was super high definition and way ahead of it's time!
The concert was filmed at Santa Monica Civic Auditorium and was emceed by Jan and Dean. The director Steve Binder begins the movie with great shots of the streets of Santa Monica showing Jan and Dean skate boarding on the streets and the rest of the groups getting ready for the concert. It is absolutely wonderful to see what life looked like on the streets of Santa Monica back in 1964, and especially seeing those very first skate boards! For those of us that were around back then, it brings back all those great sixties memories, especially if you were a teenager!
James Brown (and The Flames) was at his best with his great singing and dancing as were The Rolling Stones, The Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, The Barbarians, Marvin Gaye, Gerry and The Pacemakers, Lesley Gore, Jan and Dean, Billy J. Kramer and the Dakotas, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles and The Supremes. It was a concert composed of great music from both America and Britain. The film was released by American International Pictures on December 29, 1964. The stage in the auditorium held only the musicians and some fantastic go-go dancers, so the focus of these great early hi-def type camera's is completely on the great groups! If you look at the go-go dancers, you will see a teenage Teri Garr(She's got on a sweatshirt over a bikini with her blonde flip hair-do in the opening shots)!
This show was the coolest big screen movie of it's time, filmed with great early hi-tech camera's and now it's finally on dvd! For years, no one could get the rights from all the great groups involved in this project, but they finally made a deal that satisfied all the groups, so now we finally get this music treasure on dvd! Shout!Factory's extras are new footage commentary by director Steve Binder, along with the great original trailer, radio spots and a commemorative booklet. With this fabulous concert show being filmed in the cleanest, sharpest picture in 1964, I can't imagine how it looks even more cleaned up in hi-def and UNCUT! For anyone who saw the original film in 1964 like me, this is one movie that makes you feel like you are actually there with it's beyond fantastic performances and high energy dancing! Shout!Factory is releasing many rarities this year, some only for sale by them on their website. The complete The Goldbergs tv show among other rare television shows can be found only on their site. A BIG THANK YOU to Shout!Factory for releasing this rare gem that will be a thrill to see again!
