This budget DVD-R collection has been mastered from a range of rough 8mm and 16mm reduction prints.

The films are accompanied by soundtracks compiled from preexisting recordings.

We wouldn’t recommend this below-average disc but just a few of the films are available nowhere else on home video. Most of the films are available in better-looking editions elsewhere.
