While most of their contemporaries in London were into the ideals of love & peace in the late sixties the Edgar Broughton Band anticipated the start of punk rock. Rob ""Edgar"" Broughton offered the following as a reason for their latest comeback: ""We always were a political and socially aware band and in many ways the world today is similar to the world back in the sixties. The time has come to stand up and do it again."" Well put. Today nearly forty years after it's formation The Edgar Broughton Band features for this DVD - recorded by the Rockpalast in Germany - the original line up plus a new generation of Broughton with the addition of Edgar's son Luke. The music still has the hard rebel edge it's always had and 'Out Demons Out' is still as relevant today as it was in 1969.

With the advent of the talkies, The Marx Brothers - Chico, Groucho, Harpo and Zeppo - signed to Paramount Pictures and brought their stage act to cinema audience. They made five films in five years, all of which have become cornerstones of American comedy. In their last film for Paramount the four brothers gave us what many regard to be one of the greatest comedies of all time, Duck Soup. Directed by one of the most exceptional of all Hollywood comedy directors, Leo McCarey, Duck Soup sees the Marx clan spinning a satirical tale of war and war-makers as Groucho's Rufus Firefly declares war on the neighbouring state of Sylvania. The Paramount era represents the Marx Brothers at their absolute finest, retaining all of the energy and controlled chaos of their stage shows. Plots are unimportant, it's the gags, set-pieces and one-liners that matter! Special Cotents: High Definition Blu-ray (1080p) presentation, scanned and restored in 4K from original film elements by Universal Original 1.0 mono audio Optional English subtitles for the deaf and hard-of-hearing Commentary by Marx Brothers historian Robert S Bader and film critic Leonard Maltin Sibling Revelry, an introduction to the Marx Brothers by critic David Cairns MONKEYNUTCRACKERDUCKFEATHERS, a new video essay about the films David Cairns
