About 42nd Street Pete's 8mm Madness
Rare and Unusual 8mm Loops from the Sick, Sick 70s!
8mm loops were the sexual underground. They were sold under the counter in adult bookstores or by shady peddlers and selling or possessing them was a crime back in the day. The loops usually came in white boxes: b&w was one price, color was a higher price. A film like this could cost $20 to $100 per loop...and that’s ‘60s and ‘70s money! And you never knew what you were getting. Later the loops would be labeled with names like "Pretty Girls," "Golden Girls," etc. Most of these loops had no titles as after repeated playing the film would get worn and simply break off: they would just start with "saucy material" or get down to it after a minute or so of plot. Common plots were doctor/patient, boss/secretary, hitchhikers being picked up, etc., with darker plots showcasing S&M and other twisted stuff.
42nd Street has hand-picked 20 loops out of the 42P archives. This first installment is all color and has something for everyone. Call it a great mixed bag, and a salute as well, to that 42nd Street mainstay, Blackjack Books - a place that retained that old Times Square squalor right up until it was closed.
2-DVD COLLECTION INCLUDES OVER 20 HISTORIC, AUTHENTIC 8mm FILM LOOPS FROM THE SICK SEVENTIES!
