Tomorrow Show, The - Get Ready To Rock With Tom Snyder! 'Punk & New Wave' Collection Coming!
from: tvshowsondvd.com
Late last year we first had the heads-up that The Tomorrow Show, starring Tom Snyder, would come to DVD sometime in 2005 from The Shout! Factory. It's been at the back of our mind these many months, but no further word of the release, which planned to focus on punk rock and new wave music, had come...until now, that is!
Shout! is telling us that The Tomorrow Show - Punk & New Wave will be a 3-DVD set that has finally gotten into shape for a release as soon as January 24, 2006. And even that's a date that may change, as we can imagine when we look at all the music licenses that must be involved with this material! Still, it will be well worth waiting for, especially if you're a fan of this type of music (I certainly am, and am drooling at the prospect of this). Here is the description provided by Shout!:
"The Tomorrow Show" with Tom Snyder began in 1973 as a late night 60 minute show following Johnny Carson's Tonight Show, then expanded to 90 minutes in 1980. As the punk and new wave music of the late 1970s and early '80s emerged, The Tomorrow Show welcomed many of the key figures in the genre - for interviews as well as live performances. This three disc set includes performances and interviews with Elvis Costello & The Attractions, The Ramones, Iggy Pop, The Jam, Plasmatics and Split Enz. The DVD set also includes interview segments with Paul Weller, JOAN JETT, Patti Smith, and an unforgettable appearance by John Lydon.
I see that The Ramones are mentioned in Shout!'s brief, but not The Clash. These were the two groups mentioned rather fervently by Garson Foos, president of Shout! Factory, when he first talked about this release last December. This may or may not be an indication of whether rights to the music of The Clash were approved for this set, but again it illustrates the probable reasons why this set got held up...music rights can be very messy at times!
And they can also affect price, too, but Shout! Factory is expecting to set the SRP of this release at $34.98, a reasonable price for a 3-DVD set with this sort of content. It's a bit early to be looking for cover art, but stay tuned and we'll bring that to you when we can, along with updates to that release date and content if necessary.
