I have some VERY exciting news for Jim Reeves fans. There is going to be a new DVD released by H&H in the UK (but available exclusively in the U.S. and Canada through my site), which features rare video and film performances by Jim and some fantastic "extras." Included will be 24 complete performances by Jim, about 90 minutes of video!!!
Best of all, the price will be a fraction of what Bear has charged for their boxed set! I think it will be around $25 or so.
Up to now, if you wanted a good copy of the Oslo TV show, you had to pay a small fortune to Bear (over $179 on Amazon) to get it. But it will be in the new DVD, called "THE JIM REEVES ANTHOLOGY," and also feature a fine Blue Boys instrumental which starts the show!
But even better than this is a special video feature that talks all about how the Oslo show came about, and includes interviews with some of the people who were involved in that production, who go back to the sports arena today to reminisce about the Jim Reeves show! This is in color.
Included will be a sentimental favorite...our dear friend LEO JACKSON, Jim's longtime lead guitarist, who is featured in a color interview, and also performing with Arne Benoni (who likewise is interviewed). This is a fascinating feature about the Oslo show, put together by and translated from Norwegian television.
Next are very rare TV performances by Jim, including him with Tex Ritter on the old "Ranch Party" show, some military recruiting films, and even Jim on the "Ozark Jubilee" where he served as the summer replacement host for Red Foley. The Ozark shows have never been commercially released before! Jim sings LIVE on all these clips:
1.Mexican Joe
2.Am I Losing You
3.Have I Told You Lately
4.Waitin’ For A Train
5.According To My Heart
6.If You Were Only Mine
7..Four Walls
8.Yonder Comes A Sucker
9..Four Walls
10..Anna Marie
11.I’ll Fly Away
12.Everywhere You Go/Highways Are Happy Ways
13.Thirty Days (with June Carter)
14.Dear Hearts & Gentle People (with Betty Ann Grove)
15.Aura Lee
16.In A Mansion Stands My Love
Then there are two clips from "Kimberley Jim":
17.A Roving Gambler
18.A Stranger’s Just A Friend You Do Not Know
The mini-documentary about Oslo, followed by:
19.Blue Canadian Rockies
20. I Love You Because
21..Bimbo
22..Four Walls/Blue Canadian Rockies
23.Yonder Comes A Sucker
24.Adios Amigo
The audio on all these clips has also been remastered in 24 bit for the best possible quality.
AND, last but not least, also included with the DVD will be an 11 minute video of Jim talking about his life, against a montage of very rare photos, including ones fans have not seen, and also some historic film footage. This is really FANTASTIC and you are going to love it.
To top it all off, there is a full color booklet inside, that tells the details behind these TV and film performances, with very interesting notes from my favorite author, and more RARE PICTURES of Jim.
This is a keepsake video and a chance to have performances by Jim Reeves you've never seen before.
This video has been licensed from various sources, including for the first time from the Country Music Foundation.
I'll be announcing more details on my site very soon. Fans who live elsewhere in the world will also be able to order from me. -- Julie
