“This Is Tom Jones” DVD To Be Released June 5. Order Now!!
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007
At last, the DVD of This Is Tom Jones will be released June 5. You can pre-order the This Is Tom Jones DVD
The release of the Time-Life set (either two or three DVDs) was announced on Tom’s official site. In one spot they say there are two discs; in another three. But, whatever, they also tell us that they contain classic performances by Tom with The Who, Janis Joplin, Joe Cocker, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, The Moody Blues and many more. There is also a hour of extras, including a brand new interview with Tom talking about the show.
According to Tom’s site, direct sales in the USA will begin on TV May 15 and the retail sale three weeks later. Our guess is that the TV sale price will be full retail or, at the least, include S & H.
The This Is Tom Jones DVD is available now for pre-order on Amazon (US and Canada only and, for now, only in NTSC format). On Amazon US it lists for $39.98 and sells for $35.99. [Note: When it was originally listed — yesterday — they were selling it for $27.99.] Shipping is free in the USA. In Canada, it lists for CDN$47.07 and sells for CDN$32.95 + shipping. (In Canada you must spend CDN$40 to qualify for free shipping, in the US $25.) Get it via the link above or to the right.
And, to whet your appetite for early TJ, Dr. Pepper is using Help Yourself in their TV spots now.

I remember this show so well even though I was just around 5 or 6 at the time. They showed re-runs in the early 70’s which I remember like yesterday. Does anyone know what songs will be on the discs? This was a great variety show. They’ll never be another like it. That’s how I fell in love with Tom.
