We never sell illegal copies or Asian imports.Synopsis: Soundies have been called the music videos of the 1940s, but that doesnt begin to describe their cultural importance. Its true that they feature a remarkable range of talent, from bigband luminaries like Duke Ellington and Count Basie to thenemerging stars like Doris Day and Ricardo Montalban, and lesserknown artists of the American nightclub circuit. But Soundies are also a rich, largely overlooked chronicle of American popular culture during and just after World War II. Produced for coinoperated jukeboxes in neighborhood bars and taverns, Soundies have an uncanny way of revealing what Americans were thinking about topics that werent discussed openly, from sexuality to ethnicity and race. Curated by Susan Delson, author of Soundies and the Changing Image of Black Americans on Screen: One Dime at a Time, this fourdisc collection presents a diverse sampling of 200 shorts jazz, countrywestern, folk, and the boogie woogie roots of rock n roll newly restored from 35mm and 16mm materials preserved by the Library of Congress and other archives. Never have so many Soundies been celebrated in one collection, or presented with such care: thematically organized, accompanied by onscreen introductions and a booklet of essays, photos, and credits.Specifications: Rating: Not Rated Number of Episodes: 200 Number of Discs: 4 Run Time: 600 minutesBonus Features: Illustrated 44page booklet with essays by Susan Delson, Ellen C.
