Bonus Features for the Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection Announced
Shout Select, the prestige label from Shout Factory!, revealed the special features for their upcoming Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection [80th Anniversary Edition] Blu-ray set. This is my most anticipated release of the year, so I thought this deserved a second post. A&C fans (like me) who purchased the previous DVD version of this set will be happy to see that Shout Select is adding several new audio commentaries and special features.
Here’s the full announcement from the Shout Select Facebook page:
We are about a month and a half away from the release of Abbott & Costello: The Complete Universal Pictures Collection and today we are very excited to reveal the full list of bonus features! Buckled in, it’s a long one. Pre-order now at: http://bit.ly/AbbottCostello80 and scroll down for the full list!
