!!!! Beat, Vol. 1: Shows 01 - 05

Once THE !!!! BEAT show was only a legend. Fans and collectors heard that there was a T. V. show in the mid-1960s that captured the very best of the soul and R&B singers of the day. Some said it was made in Nashville and some said that it was made in Dallas. Now, nearly 40 years later, Bear Family has all the answers. All the episodes still exist! It really was in color! And whereas once just fragments of the shows made their way onto bootlegs, now the entire series is available in first-generation quality. This DVD of shows 1 through 5 was recorded in 1966 and features Little Milton, Frank Howard & The Commanders, Esther Phillips, Gatemouth Brown, Hoss Allen, Etta James, Lee 'Shot' Williams, Carla Thomas, Mighty Joe Young and others.
