I got volume 1. The show is really good but its pity its just an hour long.
One good thing is as its older there are no constant changes in camera angles. The camera often zooms towards Earls playing fingers which is interesting to see. I suppose they are a bit on the expensive side but its Flatt and scruggs!

For Christmas I got all four volumes. I will pick up any more they release (If there are more releases down the road). There is nothing like seeing Lester and Earl and the Foggy Mountain Boys. I like watching them work the mics. The song selection is great. Good gospel numbers and bluegrass srandards. There is some good guitar work by Earl Scruggs (A side of Earl some may not know about) Some great guest stars (7 year old Ricky Skaggs on vol. 3!!) Good comedy bits and enjoyable commericals. If you buy no other entertainment DVD's buy these. Typical late 50's early 60's film quality. Don't let that stop you. These are a can't miss hit. At the time Elderly had the best price at $15 each.

These are a must see for Earl Scruggs fan and bluegrass fans in general. These programs show Lester and Earl and the Foggy Mountain Boys at the top of their game. Although the pictures are black and white, I soon forgot that and delighted in watching and hearing what was and still is one of my favorite bluegrass bands. Earl's playing is crisp and clean, my only complaint is that he is out of the view of the camera quite often, especially during Lester's vocals. But, Lester Flatt is so smooth!
The commercials for Martha White Flour (with Hot Rize) are included, and they are very entertaining.
I have four DVD's so far and I believe that more are going to be produced and I am looking forward them.
