Local Music Notebook: Buy A Piece Of JBTV
Plus: Hot For Rockabilly Blue Island Teacher
“Jerry Bryant has put up for sale his massive, one-of-a-kind JBTV archive of 30,000 remastered, first generation digibeta music videos from the ’80s, ’90s and 2000s in order to capitalize the expansion and resources of his live music show,” Reel Chicago reports.
“The painstakingly preserved vault of 1,100 one-inch tapes is a cultural mother lode of Smithsonian proportions. The storage devices alone are worth $125,000. Bryant has ‘no idea’ of the content’s value.
“It’s a one of a kind collection that nobody has,” he says. “It’s got some of the best and some of the worst of all the music videos ever released, sort of a history of rock and roll since 1984.”
Does it come with the hyperbole?
But no, seriously, this is a pretty good collection.
