Now, for the first time on DVD, you'll be able to see that everything you've ever heard about Bob Read is true…and then some. What's more, on this exclusive release, there's over 30 minutes of footage that has never seen the light of day…until now. This is Bob Read in his prime--digitally restored from the original raw footage (originally released by Videonics).
