This was put out by Johnny Legend, who's a cultural historian, but would probably hate being called that. Legend helped find ROCK BABY ROCK IT (he calls it the Texas answer to ROCK AROUND THE CLOCK). He got it released on VHS with Rhino back in the 80's, as part of their TEENAGE THEATRE series. Four of the other five titles were also part of that line up. ROCK, BABY ROCK IT (1957) Four songs by Johnny Carroll. You also get primative, before the dawn of time rock and roll acts, along with a couple of numbers by some old bald geeks. Worth every minute. TEENAGE DEVIL DOLLS (1955) If Jerry Warren had made a DRAGNET episode, it would have looked like this. A narrator traces the story of a downward spiral into addiction. He's the only voice you hear. Laugh out loud funny at times. NAKED YOUTH (1961,but looks older) Carol Ohmart plays a sleazy dope fiend girl friend of a drug dealer. What else do you need to know? The cars are amazing. TEENAGE CONFIDENTIAL This was the promo tape for the TEENAGE THEATRE series. You get lots of cool trailers (featuring the other titles, but there's more besides) film clips, and really obscure stuff like SATAN WAS A TEENAGER. ORIGINALLY narrated by Mamie Van Doren, but she isn't around on this edition. HIGH SCHOOL CAESAR(1960, but looks older)Best way to describe this one: Imagine Riverdale, but Reggie has taken over completely. You know, selling tests, protection racket, smakcing girls who won't go out with him... Veronica does whatever he wants and works for him as a spy in the principals office. Archie has the faster car. Betty is the new girl in town, and looks like she is wearing her house coat to school. Reggie loses it over her. Amazing cars. TEEN MANIA: This one was NOT part of TEENAGE THEATRE. It's a re-edit of Johnny Legend's TEENAGE UFO ROCK N ROLL MONSTER SHOW he did with Something Weird Video.(Something Weird, 1993, good luck) It's shorter and has a few more newer clips in it with the best ones saved from the first version. All in all, a great rock n roll J.D. box set. Start your engines.Read full review
