REVIEW: Once again we have kinescopes (made by directing a movie camera at a television screen) available of performances on the Town Hall Party. This time, of course, we feature Johnny Cash. As with the other DVDs in this series, the kinescopes used are offline kinescopes which means that the quality is not quite as good as it could be if the online kinescopes were used, although having said that the footage here of Johnny is mostly of slightly better quality than that of Gene Vincent, Eddie Cochran and the Collins Kids included in this series. The dates of the performances used here are from November 15th, 1958 and August 8th, 1959.
