Town Hall Party: November 6, 1954 [DVD]

This DVD release features nearly an hour's worth of material from the November 6, 1954, broadcast of Town Hall Party, a weekly television show broadcast in Los Angeles featuring leading country & western stars, and the German Bear Family label has given the material a simple but attractive presentation. This edition has been transferred to disc from original kinescopes of the live broadcast, and it appears in the original full-screen aspect ratio of 1.33:1. The audio has been mastered in Dolby Digital Mono, reproducing the original live sound mix. No additional material or language options have been included, and the source materials show signs of their age, but in all fairness it's unlikely they'll ever look any better, and the accompanying booklet and digipak case are beautifully designed and feature a treasure trove of rare photos.
