I've bidded on that DVD that was on Ebay and just received it yesterday and had a preview of it and it's bloody awsome! In regards of early colour footage I was a bit disappointed there was buggerall colour TV show footage on there of the 50s and early 60s but other than that it's fantastic DVD. One of the highlights is a pristine quality B&W video recorded footage of Lucille Ball rocking up to the studios in her Cadillac talking to the camera and then hopping into a cart and driving off, I can imagine that footage dates very early 60s possibly late 50s.

The footage on this DVD isn't mostly Prelinger Archive stuff like someone mentioned, I'm guessing maybe some of it is but most of it is B&W kinescope footage of various TV shows like Howdy Doody, Milton Berle etc...

Anyhow looking forward to watching the DVD in full when I get time.

Cheers
Troy
