Rock 'N' Roll High School
Genre: Musical & Performing Arts Release Date: 05/04/2010 Rating PG Production Year: 1978 Run Time: 84 mins Released By: Shout! Factory Cast: P.J. Soles, Ramones, Vincent Van Patten, Mary Woronov, Paul Bartel In this campy, classic musical tribute to the rock legends the Ramones, the students of Vince Lombardi High School are a wild and rebellious bunch who are sick of sitting in school--they want to go see the Ramones in concert. With the lowest academic scores in Southern California and pathetic athletic teams that haven't won a game in years, the school's last three principals had nervous breakdowns and were committed to the funny farm. But that's no concern to the kids, who just want to rock. Riff Randall, the leader of the frisky students, writes the song "Rock 'N' Roll High School" and leads a brigade of her peers to a Ramones concert. However, when a fierce new principal cracks the whip and attempts to silence the rock music by burning stacks of the students' records, a riot breaks out. The Ramones arrive at school and join forces with the students to take over the school and, in a glorious exclamation of victory, burn it down. The terrific soundtrack includes such Ramones favorites as "Blitzkrieg Bop," "Pinhead," and "Teenage Lobotomy" in addition to the title track. … more less -

Alice Cooper - Good To See You Again, Alice Cooper: Live 1973 Billion Dollar Babies Tour
Genre: Musical & Performing Arts Release Date: 11/08/2005 Rating NR Production Year: 1973 Pioneering a groundbreaking amalgam of hard rock and sideshow horror, 1970s heavy-metal progenitor Alice Cooper almost single-handedly invented the genre of shock rock with infamous live shows that employed electric chairs as stage props and live snakes as wardrobe accessories. The 1973 film GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN, ALICE COOPER captures one of the shock-rocker's trademark spectacles with a concert recorded during that year's canonical BILLION DOLLAR BABIES tour. Centered on Cooper's live performances but interspersed with fictionalized skits about an unhinged German director, the film received a limited theatrical run in the mid-1970s and has never before been available on home video. This release presents the film in its original cut with a high-definition transfer and surround-sound mix created from the 16-track master tapes for a historic testament to one of the most original voices in rock. … more less -
