Distribpix proudly presents Radley Metzger's Barbara Broadcast - Coming in Mid-July for the first time to Collector's Edition DVD and Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack - Pre-Orders available soon!
Following the successful and critically acclaimed restored deluxe releases of The Opening Of Misty Beethoven on Blu-ray and DVD, Distribpix has digitally re-mastered Radley Metzger's Barbara Broadcast. Presented completely uncut the new Collector's Edition release of Barbara Broadcast continues Distribpix's Henry Paris line, honoring both the film and the filmmaker with revealing supplements that document the history and importance of this picture.
Welcome to the world of Barbara Broadcast, a former high-class prostitute now an acclaimed author of erotic books, as she burns up the screen in a series of the most erotic sequences ever filmed. Played by the stunning Annette Haven, Barbara is interviewed by journalist C.J. Laing in an elegant restaurant where gourmet food and gourmet sex are both on the menu. C.J. Laing then ventures into the kitchen for a smoldering encounter with Wade Nichols that may just be the greatest sex scene ever filmed. Other standout moments include a corporate office encounter and a sex scene set in a busy Manhattan night club, before an intense finale featuring the return of 'Misty Beethoven' herself, Constance Money, and her tormentor Jamie Gillis.
Radley Metzger's fourth film made using the alias 'Henry Paris', 1977's Barbara Broadcast is truly one of the greatest adult films ever made. Featuring many of the great actors of the 1970s New York scene, Metzger's style and artistry coupled with his trademark charm and humor make this one of the classics of erotic cinema. Expertly photographed and acted with the right mix of charisma and sex appeal by a true cast of adult film legends, Barbara Broadcast is a superb example of Radley Metzger at the top of his game.
Pre-order dates will be announced soon, orders will ship in mid-July.

Other notes:
*Why use a 25GB Blu-ray disc instead of a 50GB disc? In two words: expense, and demand. Feedback has shown that most fans really want the film, UNCUT in HD, with a commentary. For that reason Distribpix decided to keep costs lower and use 25GB disc with the bulk of the extra features included on the additional DVD discs. This allows the high definition fan to have the 1080p transfer and lossless audio for the feature and also have access to all of the extras included on the DVD discs. We realize not everyone will agree with this decision and that some consumers will want the Blu-ray and nothing else, but the financial reality is that the expenses incurred with projects like this requires a higher price point in order to keep Distribpix in business. Given that the cost of the Blu-ray is set at only $5.00 more than the DVD set, we feel this pricing structure is fair and hope that our fans will agree.
**When we released The Opening Of Misty Beethoven, some were unhappy with the size of the booklet and that it didn't fit inside the Blu-ray case. We've corrected that with the Barbara Broadcast release - the Blu-ray/DVD Combo Pack will be packaged in a Blu-ray sized case and the booklet will fit inside. The DVD set will be packaged in a DVD sized case and the booklet will fit inside.
-It is possible, if the demand is there, that in the future we will release the single Blu-ray disc on its own at a lower price point without the additional DVD discs. The decision will be made once we're able to gauge sales on this title to see if the market is there for a stripped down release on Blu-ray. We want to be upfront and completely honest with fans to let them know ahead of time that we are considering this option.
-There will be a pre-order period exclusively at Distribpix.com. We are currently adjusting our shipping modules to be more competitive and in line with Amazon and other online retailers in hopes that this will encourage fans to buy directly from Distribpix. Additionally, as we did with the Misty package, we just might add some little surprises for those who buy direct: extra insert cards, refrigerator magnets, little 'thank you gifts' for those who support us with direct sales.
