Have the two-box set collection of musical Vitaphone shorts and the 4
cassette of paramount Hollywood Rhythm fully re-released on DVD? The quality
of both editions is astounding, and while I found some of them reissued I do
not think the full collection is available on DVD.

None of the Vitaphone Lds have been reissued nor will they be per George
Feltenstein at WB. They would need to ber - in his words - fully remastered.
They do plan the DVD of Jazz Singer in 2007, it's 75th Anniversary. They've had
it almost ready for years. No firm date though.
The Paramounts are on 2 DVDs from Kino with an addition of one and deletions
of I think one. See below.
