The other week, we received a note from a reader named "Martijn," who told us that the
Truly Outrageous! Jem Mailing List (warning: lots of pop-ups at that link) had sent around a note to the mailing list which contained the episodes that creator Christy Marx said would be on the
Jem! - Season 3, Part 1 DVD release:
- DVD ONE
- The Talent Search 1
- The Talent Search 2
- Scandal
- One Jem Too Many
- The Bands Break Up
- The Fan
- Fathers Day
- DVD TWO
- The Treasure Hunt
- Aztec Enchantment
- Music Is Music
- The Jazz Player
- Danse Time
- Roxy Rumbles
- Alone Again
- DVD THREE
- KJEM
- Trick or Techrat
- The Presidential Dilema
- Rock 'n Roll Express
- Mardi Gras
We hesitated to publish this, because the info may have been sent around to the Truly Outrageous mailing list, but I can't seem to find it at their actual website. Nor had Rhino published it...yet. Now we have confirmation directly from Rhino Home Video about those episodes being on this title.
We've also confirmed the street date, which we first mentioned
here, is indeed going to be
August 31st.
Price is $49.95 SRP, for over 7 hours of feature. Video is 1.33:1, and audio is available both in original broadcast mode, and in an optional 5.1 Dolby Stereo soundtrack.
Besides the original, uncut episodes of the show, there are some extras on this release as well. Interviews with the cast and writers are present, and part of Martijn's forwarded letter from the mailing list passes on Christy Marx's statement that " it will have an interview with Britta Phillips, who flew in from New York to do it." In case you forgot, Britta Phillips was the singing voice of Jem herself. Martijn also passes on from the mailling list that "not only is Christy doing commentary for more episodes (The Talent Search, KJEM and others); Roger Slifer is also coming in to do commentary for the 'Father's Day' episode." Slifer was the writer on that one, by-the-way. Thanks Martijn!
Final cover art isn't available yet, but we'll post it just as soon as it is. Stay tuned and we'll bring you that, and any more info that any little birdies sing at us.
