DVD: Here’s a very rare special episode of LATE NIGHT WITH DAVID LETTERMAN from 1985.  It's called DAVID LETTERMAN'S SUMMERTIME SUNSHINE HAPPY HOUR. 

It's a very funny parody of 1970s variety shows.  Featuring quintessential '70s guest stars Ken Berry and Johnny Hartford, it also has Dave "singing" Bobby Goldsboro's "The Straight Life." Paul Shaffer and Chris Elliott are also featured.

Picture/sound quality are excellent. This recording is missing approximately five seconds at the start of the broadcast.

This DVD is mastered from the original NBC broadcast.

GENERAL INFORMATION:

FORMAT: NTSC DVD-R. Disc(s) come with no artwork.

As with many of my listings, this is a rare item that you will not find in stores. As a result, pictures and sound quality are highly watchable (generally 7 or 8 on a scale of 1 to 10), but not pristine or digital quality.

This program is not commercially available in the United States. Most movies/programs available here are mastered from rare VHS recordings and releases. As many of the VHS tapes from which these DVDs were mastered are quite old, occasional glitches present on the tapes may appear. These glitches tend to happen toward the beginning of recordings, and are otherwise few and far between. Most DVDs available here do not have stereo sound. All DVDs are spot checked prior to shipping. Still, defective discs or problems during duplication can occur. Thus, if you receive a defective disc it will be replaced at no charge.

Just $2.00 shipping/handling on this item. Please inquire for rates on international shipping.
