i rented this a few months back after hearing the neg. reviews.all i can say this is horrid.sons of the desert has fadeouts where there were none.obviously a tv print.the music box was recorded off tape you can see the tape creases.last week i received the l&h collection.all i can say is wow.all hal roach shorts and features.remastered uncut,original opening mgm logo.it cost me 140.00.it is a region 2 dvd,but if you get a phillis 642 dvd player about 70 bucks which plays all region dvds its fine.if you are atrue l&h fan yo have to order it.
