The classic `rock and roll' film of the 50's and the Jayne Mansfield movie featuring her legendary strut down the street to Little Richard's title song while holding a pair of strategically placed milk bottles melting ice and shattering glasses. Around a simple comic plot - gangster hires alcoholic press agent to make a singing star out of his incredibly voluptuous but tone-deaf girlfriend - director Frank Tashlin creates a feast for eyes and ears in `the grandeur of CinemaScope' a
Remember Me This Way is an hour long documentary on 70 s British Glam Rock star - Gary Glitter. Filmed at the height of his fame, the film builds to its finale of Glitter s concert at the Rainbow Theatre. A fascinating time capsule from the mid 1970s Gary Glitter does his publicity interviews, parties, rehearsals and recording sessions as his manager, Laurence Myers, deal makes for him on the phone. Myers also used to manage David Bowie in the early 1970s and the parallels between Glitter s bombastic bravado on-stage and posh, speaking voice in-private are amusing. Packed with extras from the mid 1970s this is a unique release of a forgotten era and whatever people think about Gary Glitter the man; there s no denying after watching this, that Glitter was one of the finest showmen of his time and a unique live act who a knew how to entertain.

Bobby Darin captured live in concert.
It takes an aircraft-carrier of a release such as Live at the Beacon Theatre to remind us just how unique the Allman Brothers Band always was and still is. Traditionally a byword for down-home R&B/country blues-rock, the reality is that the band's gigantic sound is almost a musical form in itself. Make no mistake, the Allmans are still making big music, now with a two-guitar front line as well as their trademark two-drummer rhythm section (augmented these days with an additional percussionist), plus Gregg Allman's Hammond cutting through all of this like a serrated knife. The only anomaly is his voice, which has always had a strange, recessed quality, as though he sings without actually breathing. That said, his vocal style is a distinctive element of what the band's all about, so hey. This release offers a massive set filmed in New York in March 2003 which is chock-full of things you'll need to hear (especially "Desdemona" and "Whipping Post"). The concert footage alone lasts about three hours and the whole thing is immaculately produced without detracting from the atmosphere of the event in any way. Never mind the ponytails, the Allmans give you the whole pony. On the DVD: Live at the Beacon Theatre two-disc set has generous extras that turn what was already a good deal into a veritable bargain. The lengthy interview material gets off to a shaky start by focusing at embarrassing length on how much more sober and generally together the band is than it used to be, but when the apologies are over we get some genuine insights into both the personalities and the music involved. There's also behind-the-scenes and rehearsal footage (much of which is both funny and poignant) and a photo gallery. The DVD is in 4:3 aspect ratio and has stereo, Dolby 5.1 and DTS 5.1 sound options. --Roger Thomas

…one of the world's greatest guitarists, a must-see performer and one of the finest songwriters this country has ever produced. – The SpectatorFilmed in January 2011 at the Royal Concert Hall in Glasgow as part of the annual Celtic Connections festival, this superb performance by The Richard Thompson Band marks their first ever live concert Blu-ray release. The first half of the show focuses on Thompson’s latest “Dream Attic” album with the second half given over to songs reaching back as far as his first solo album “Henry The Human Fly” and up to recent releases such as “Sweet Warrior” and “The Old Kit Bag”. Thompson’s distinctive voice and unmistakeable guitar style are well to the fore and his band are as good as it gets. This will be a must have purchase for any Richard Thompson fan.In the guitar god firmament, Thompson easily takes a place beside Eric Clapton and Jimmy Page. He has certainly been the most consistently imaginative English plank spanker of modern times. - Daily Mirror Track Listing: The Money Shuffle Among The Gorse, Among The Grey Haul Me Up Burning Man Here Comes Geordie Demons In Her Dancing Shoes Big Sun Falling In The River Stumble On Sidney Wells A Brother Slips Away If Love Whispers Your Name The Angels Took My Racehorse Away Can’t Win One Door Opens Al Bowlly’s In Heaven I’ll Never Give It Up Wall Of Death Tear Stained Letter Take Care The Road You Choose A Man In Need Bonus Features: Two tracks filmed at the 2011 Cambridge Folk Festival Uninhabited Man Johnny’s Far Away
