Let's have a look at the the first 2 Volume DVD's of the legendary music Australian show Bandstand called the Best Of Bandstand. The show began on TCN9 in Sydney in November 1958 hosted by NZ born Sydney newsreader Brian Henderson and this show lasted until August 1972 which it was a launching pad for many acts including Col Joye, Judy Stone, Lucky Starr, Sandy Scott, the Bee Gees, Peter Allen, Helen Reedy, Pasty Ann(now Trisha) Noble, Robyn Alvarez, Dig RIchards and many others as well as having overseas acts too. On Volume one which has 10 episodes between 1960-1962 it performances by Col Joye,Judy Stone, Lucky Starr doing his classic hit I've Been Everywhere, The Dekroo Brothers, Johnny Devlin, The Delltones, Bryan Davies, Lana Cantrell, Digger Revell and the Denvermen, the Allen Brothers, Patsy Ann Noble as well as American acts Bobby Rydell and Bobby vee as well as showing live sponsor spots for Kriesler transitors, Coca Cola and Clearasil , swinging dance medleys, album giveaways and the Bandstand Awards for 1961. In the 2nd volume which has 8 episodes from 1963 has the very first performances of the Bee Gees, The Denvermen doing their number 1 hit Surfside, Jimmy Little doing his classic hit Royal Telephone, The DeKroo Brothers doing their hit Her Name is Scarlet, The Delltones doing their hit Come A Little Bit Closer, tribute to musicals West Side Story and the Music Man, the first ever outside Broadcast @ avalon Beach(December 14th 1963), an Christmas episode from December 21st 1963 and many others. it is FANTASTIC and BRILLIANT with great stuff and picture quality looks great too and also looking at the different intros of the show that is great too. It is 55 years when Bandstand started and 41 years when it finished but the impact of this show is still remembered by many Australians to this day. A Big thank you should go to Umbrella Entertainment and to CHannel 9 for making this happen which it's great and I am glad that is out finally out there. It is an MUST for any Australian music fans who grew up watching this iconic show for 14 years as well as people like myself who weren't born when it was on but who has a interest in that era and it is great to see these performers of that time on DVD which it's great to see too and also there will be more Bandstand coming on DVD very soon so let's hope there will be a lot more in the future. I am giving this 5 Stars and it's in the shops now so do yourself a favour and BUY IT.
