StarVista/Time Life (@TimeLifeUS) is planning another major DVD release for this fall and we're pretty certain that you're not going to pass on this set.
For the first time on DVD, and unseen on air since its original broadcast, Time Life is releasing Motown 25: Yesterday, Today, Forever, the 1983 television special that celebrated Motown's 25th year.
Hosted by comedian Richard Pryor, Motown 25 had many memorable moments including Michael Jackson's first recorded moonwalk during "Billie Jean," the "Battle of the Bands" between The Temptations and The Four Tops, a brief reunion of Diana Ross and the Supremes (the on-stage tension between Ross and Mary Wilson was edited out of the taped airing; not sure if it is included in this Extended Version DVD), Marvin Gaye's performance of "What's Going On," and The Jackson 5 reunion.
Other performers during this special include Smokey Robinson and Linda Ronstadt, Lionel Richie and The Commodores, Stevie Wonder, Mary Wells and Martha Reeves, and the long-awaited reunion of The Miracles.
The Deluxe Collector's 6-DVD set also includes tons of bonus features including original rehearsal footage featuring Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, over 25 interviews with various performers and production members of the commemoration special, 9 brand new featurettes that Time Life has produced for this set, a copy of the concert program, and a beautiful 48-page booklet consisting of artist information, behind-the-scenes photos, and more.
All of this in a snazzy box!
