Bill Haley's Original Comets - The fathers of rock'n'roll

To celebrate the 50th anniversary of 'Rock Around the Clock', Bill Haley's 1954-55 Comets have released a new DVD on the Hydra Records label. The DVD, entitled The Fathers of Rock & Roll - Live in Concert, features a complete concert by the band, filmed in Europe, an hour of interviews, and a photo gallery. This is actually the second DVD release by the Original Band; in 2003 they released a limited edition DVD titled Bill Haley's Original Comets that included interviews, CD-ROM content including video of the band performing in Florida, and several audio tracks. Klaus Kettner of Hydra Records says the new DVD, despite being a European release, is being made in NTSC format so that it can be viewed in North America, "but about 95 per cent of European DVD players can play that format, too," he says. The show features performances of many of the Comets' best-known classics, as well as less familiar material such as 'When You're Smiling' featuring sax man Joey Ambrose, and the Marshall Lytle ballad 'You're the Greatest'.

Please note that this DVD is encoded in NTSC and will play on all NTSC systems and 95% of PAL/SECAM systems.
