wonder if you could get permission to "re-press" the records. or release it on cd with some video.
it's certainly an interesting piece of advertsing "nostalgia". i'm sure effective at the time, but crude by todays standards.
can you imagine trying to do something like that in 2005.
the media, the censors and every anti-car group out there would nix it as "promoting street racing".
it's amazing, the number of individual freedoms i've seen compromised or legislated out of existence in this country in my lifetime.
