"A Street Carol"- If I remember it, it was okay. I think this is the one were David sounds like he has a bad chest cold so he's not singing at full throttle as he usually does. I gotta kick out of Arthel trying to sing along with the guys. Eddie was his usual regal self.

I don't recall the second one. I probably do have it but don't remember the whole details surrounding the second tape.

DUH!!! StreetGold.com lol, guess I should have known. Thanks Maria. I wonder if I should check them out.

Common in the video that you described above are the guys (DR,DE,EK) in it for a good amount of time?...Personally do you think its worth the money?

"Looking for an Echo" $15.00 for 10 Mins?

Don't worry about it being too much RuffinLove both vhs's ("A street Carol") and ("Looking for an Echo") are out until the first of the year......I called and spoke to the publisher. I was going to order both of them......... You'll have enough time to consider whether you want to buy them later

Im trying to figure out if it is different footage ...or some of the same footage from SG original leads tape.

The way the other two video's are advertised, I believe they are different from "Original Leads" thats why I posted to see If I could get some reviews before I purchase them.

They are basically the same thing. The Origianl Leads was shown on tv way back when. Street Gold has a bit more footage.

Bees when you say basically the same, are you saying that they just added clips off Original Leads and put them on these other videos? I read on another board that the leads are singing songs with Pookie Hudson of the Spaniels. Has anyone actually seen these other two videos?
