Those who are nostalgic about the 8mm loops of the Deep Throat era are warned that the 21 examples here are so poorly presented, they may serve best as a warning of what loop buffs are likely to turn up after all these years.

Each six-or-so-minute loop is introduced by the bearded and masked "42nd Street Pete," who waxes enthusiastic over some of the blurriest, worst-shot and dirtiest (in the sense of nobody bothered to clean the films before their transfer to video) early hardcore it's ever been our duty to watch.

Pete terms "Passion in the Ass" with Linda Lovelace the "hottest" of the collection, but aside from the camera generally failing to focus on the action - Linda Lovelace being d.p.'d with a cock and a dildo - it's surprising he could see anything through the dirt.

Retailing: Sure, the stars are here, but this disk is sure to generate plenty of complaints about quality.
