Announcing Glen Campbell's Newest DVD/CD Releases

[debstewart1956]

WHY are they not releasing DVD'S of the Goodtime Hour!
this is something they should have been doing a Long time ago! Were these under a certain production company, and the rights??

From Shout! Factory via YouTube comments today, they do not have the complete Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour series; just the select episodes now available on their site (ShoutFactoryTV.com).

They have now corrected their information on YouTube.

kvalois,

Your question is timely. Let's see what unfolds...today, the Shout! Factory channel on youtube uploaded one of eight Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour episodes that had only been officially available to stream on their official website. It is the January 10, 1971 episode with Liberace, Neil Diamond Linda Ronstadt and Larry Storch. (https://youtu.be/WBO265Vf7bc" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;)

In the youtube description posted below the video window, S.F. posted:

Watch The Glen Campbell Goodtime Hour complete series: http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/series/th ... dtime-hour" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Their reference to "complete series" sounds promising!

The eight episodes are streaming at: http://www.shoutfactorytv.com/videos?ut ... dtime+hour" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;.
Also, on this same S.F. webpage, the two Christmas episodes that were released on one DVD in October 2015 are now streaming (for free!). The DVD is still available for purchase on S.F.'s site.
Unfortunately, the streams can't be viewed outside of the U.S. and Canada, hugely disappointing for fans in other countries.

The Goodtime Hour Country Special released by S.F. in April 2016 is still available on DVD only.

Okay-- thanks for the info!!!

Of course, since Kimbrell's press release, 'Adios' was released.

Around the time 'Adios' was released, Kim Campbell had hinted about the possible existence of a (home) recording with Elvis Presley and Glen Campbell.

No word of box sets, Goodtime Hour releases, etc.
Unfortunately, after Shout! Factory released on DVD / streamed a small number of Goodtime Hours, fans bootlegged the video material, posting entire shows and also all the segments on YouTube (and who knows where else). In light of these copyright violations, I had asked Shout! Factory if they had any plans to again release other Goodtime Hour episodes. Their response to me was: "NOT ANYTIME SOON!"
Why should they, really, when "fans" hurt sales of DVDs, violate music royalties, etc.?

The short answer is: no. When TKO (T.K. Kimbrell) took over management there was one article in which he said there was a lot of unreleased stuff in the vaults, but after that so far we only got some vinyl rereleases of a few 60s albums.

Hi, everyone:

Does anyone know if there are any plans to re-issue any of Glen's albums, a definitive boxed set, or DVDs of the original Goodtime Hour??

Not "All Glen", but still a nice release for GC fans and country music fans in general:

10-DVD Collection CMA AWARDS LIVE: Greatest Moments 1968-2015

Time Life in conjunction with the Country Music Association is proud to announce the upcoming release of CMA Awards Live: Greatest Moments 1968-2015. This collection takes you from the early days of the CMA Awards in the late 1960s when Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash and Glen Campbell dominated the music scene to today’s top stars.... This collection of CMA Awards performances showcases the diversity of talent and the powerful songs that have made country music the heartbeat of America.

CMA Awards Live will be officially released to retail early next year.

The press release also states that for many of the performances on this set, "(o)utside of their original airings, these performances have never been commercially available."

Hopefully, the retail set will be affordable. The pre-order is pricey.

For more information about this set, you can visit TimeLife's website at:

Thanks, arlw!
After you receive your Anthology set, could you let us know if the DVD is Region 1 or PAL?
It is listed as Region 1, but when this set was released in 2012, the DVD was PAL--but listed as Region 1.
(I haven't ordered it yet.)

This CD/DVD set's price is less than People's commemorative magazine!
