Music Review: Johnny Tillotson - Rock 'n Roll Legends: Johnny Tillotson - Page 3

Perhaps the weirdest addition to the "Propaganda" section is the seventeen minute "How To" featuring a Holiday Spanish lesson, various artists in segments on painting with watercolours, a tutorial on Beginners Modern Jive, demonstrations of a boxing martial art called Muay Thai, a brief documentary on professional golfer Donna White meant to introduce a series of golf lessons, sailing lessons, lessons on playing acoustic guitar, and a video called "Women Fight Back" featuring martial arts training. Each of these segments is incomplete starting mid-stream and is clipped before the end. This video quality ranges from not very good to just plain awful. Again, there's what appears to be a release number at the left side of each title bar So the purpose of this "How To" section may be to market other Quantum Leap releases featuring these various lessons.

Featuring thirteen live concert recordings, this release is worth owning for the music alone. As for the rest of it: well, those bonus segments do make for fun viewing. They're silly and quirky enough to probably make good party-time viewing. I'd recommend this release for anyone who enjoys the old music and the stars who recorded it, or for any Johnny Tillotson fan who'd like to see him in a live performance.

You'll find information on Lyn Paul at The Lyn Paul Website or, again, at Wikipedia. Also check out the Quantum Leap Online Catalogue.
