Please tell the powers that be that a proper Our Latin Thing DVD would be appreciated. Thanks.

Yes, a restored print would be incredible. Also one of the film Salsa.

Yeah - not sure what's up with those. I remember hearing a rumor that the original master prints were lost but I could be absolutely wrong.

I keep almost copping the OOP Vampi Soul one, and then I think how annoyed I'll be that the last scene is cut (according to peeps here) and hold back. The above might explain why they used a messed up copy. If Emusica has no plans to release these, though, I might cop anyway...

I've always wondered if there's a documentary on latin music from before the 70s. Anyone heard of one?

MD: You might check for Henry Chalfant's "From Mambo to Hip-Hop" which at least covers part of the mambo era in the Bronx during the 1950s and '60s.
