For the first time ever on DVD!

Al Green Live in '72 is a rare 60 minute concert which captures one of the most celebrated artists of all time at the peak of his creative and artistic talents. Recorded at the WNET studios in New York City, this remarkable show was first aired on the landmark PBS show Soul!

Soul! ran on the Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) network between 1967 and 1973. Made from an exclusively black perspective - and thought to be the first show of its kind to receive national syndication - it combined live music, studio debate and socially relevant interviews with the most important figures in African American culture.

Al Green Live In '72 is a captivating portrait of a consummate artist at the height of his brilliance... The Last Great Soul Man. With digitally re-mastered picture and sound this incomparable performance sounds as astonishing today as it did the day it was recorded.

A Must-Have digitally restored iconic performance from The Last Great Soul Man.

Welcome To Death Row
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


This is the definitive story of the most infamous record label in history. The rise and fall of Death Row and its power-hungry CEO, Marion "Suge" Knight, makes The Godfather look like a bedtime story. The film traces the entire controversial history of the label and the impact it had, not only on the music industry but on American culture as a whole – constantly blurring the line between art and reality, crime and business, gangsta-rap and pop music.

Led by Suge Knight, Death Row made superstars of artists like Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg and Tupac Shakur. But by 1996, with the departure of Dre, the shooting of Tupac, its biggest star, and the imprisonment of founder Suge, the label was brought to its knees.

A movie like no other, Welcome to Death Row reveals the startling and intimate connection between the music industry and organized crime, and the desire for power and glory that drives them both.

ALSO CONTAINS THE FULL-LENGTH MOVIE - THA EASTSIDAZ

Starring: Snoop Dogg, Xzibit, Warren G, RBX & Jayo Felony.
Multi-platinum selling rap phenomenon Snoop Dogg stars in a gritty, all-action tale of double-cross and revenge set in his native Long Beach, CA. Snoop is Killa Pop, a respected and powerful gang kingpin looking to “get out the game” – as soon as he pulls off one last deal. But in this deadly heist any moment could be his last, and the only colour that counts is green.

Awesome; I... Shot That!
•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••


On October 9, 2004, the Beastie Boys handed out 50 video cameras to audience members at their sold out performance in New York’s famed Madison Square Garden. This was the pinnacle performance of their legendary Challah At Your Boy Tour. These newly appointed cameramen, dotted around the stadium, were given one simple instruction: Just keep shooting!

Ingeniously editing this amateur footage, with that of the professionals, MCA (using the pseudonym Nathanial Hφrnblowιr) has created a mind-blowing, multi-coloured, psychedelic musical extravaganza. Never before has the energy and excitement of a live performance been captured so precisely, so accurately and so faithfully. This is quite possibly the greatest concert movie of all time.
