We've all seen the cheesy K-Tel TV commercials from years past, but did you know that Salsoul Records had one for the "Disco Boogie" two-record set that was mixed Walter Gibbons? They plugged it as being available through mail order only and the price... $6.98! This is a huge treat! Thanks to Vince Montana and Marisol Duprey for making me aware of this.

Vince has put up some other great videos on youtube, I especially like the footage of a TV show in which he plays vibes along to his excellent Warp Factor II. Can that man play!
And play the vibes Vince can! Imagine how I felt when I went to his home years ago and he played the vibes in his small studio for me. He explained all the parts of the vibraphone and how the windings on the mallets change this and that. He makes it look so easy. I'll check out the other vids.

Oh wow, I've heard Loleatta H's voice so often but never actually seen her perform before. (even if it's for 2 seconds miming, I'm happy with that!)
...ya gotta beat the street......
I don't know why this DVD didn't get TONS of attention when first released, but better late than never?

I bought that DVD when it first came out. Some nice rare performances.
I'm still waiting for volume 2!

Thanks for that DVD info Donald! I've ordered it from Amazon UK so hopefully it will be playable on my dvd player here.
