42nd Street Pete's Super-Stars of the 70s Stags

With the dawning of the 70s, things were changing, especially in the sex trade. Generic white boxes were still being used to house the forbidden 8mm loops, but things had loosened up to the point that a color photo depicting a scene from the loop would be included within the package. After watching a bunch of these loops, viewers began to recognize recurring faces (and other body parts) among the myriad performers. Many were one-shot deals, but fans were quick to embrace the perennials who showed up again and again. As I was going through the 42P archives, I thought it would be cool to assemble a collection of loops with only the most well-known stars. "So what do we have here?" you might ask. We have the best performers from the early days of historic adult cinema...a cavalcade of the super-stars who rose to prominence in that "Golden Era." I'm talking Linda Lovelace, Vanessa Del Rio, Seka, Tina Russell, Candy Samples, Lisa De Leeuw, Marc Stevens, Johnny Keyes and Mr. 13" himself, John Holmes. They're all here for the first time, digitally restored from the original grimy 8mm film prints. Product Description

Porn, the early days

Visually, these are a step up from the other colection of loops that 42nd St. Pete has made available. Again, Pete's intros and histories are more interesting then the actual loops, which are tedious and kind of dull. They are truly a case of "if you've seen one, you've seen 'em all." Yep, that's a young John Holmes or Seka, and so what? There's a slight historical interest in seeing what passed for porn in the days before VCRs, but that only goes so far. These at least have a much better look then the stuff shot in the 60s, so that's a blessing, but these really are for a specialized taste, or for an older viewer who might be nostalgic for what turned him on way back when. I'm not that viewer, so a few of these loops go a long way. January 31, 2007
