This budget DVD-R collection has been mastered from a range of poor to fair 8mm reduction prints. Undocumented on the disc’s packaging is the inclusion of the Our Gang short Lodge Night (1923).

The films are accompanied by soundtracks compiled from preexisting recordings.

We wouldn’t recommend this below-average disc but a few of the films are available nowhere else on home video.
