Official DVD from Shout Factory

On December 10, 2013 Shout Factory is releasing the film as part of a cult movie collection with three other flicks. Shout Factory generally puts out quality releases... though all of the films in this set are full-frame, which makes me question if it's sourced from video (complete with the obtrusive microphones that frequently bounced into frame on the VHS release) -- but for $10 it makes the overpriced videos and rampant bootlegs obsolete. Here's the link:

It is good print that Shout used for Chatterbox. Much better than previous DVD-Rs recorded from tape. This appears to be from a film print (film grain and softness still intact). The boom mikes are VERY obtrusive to the point of being funny. The film was filmed from a former porn film director, so don't expect perfect framing from this full frame version. But it sure is a hilarious drive in classic from the '70s. Well worth the price from Shout.
