![A definitive list of early Roadshow Home Videos released [or promoted]...](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/kXCFfjXh5pA/mqdefault.jpg "A definitive list of early Roadshow Home Videos released [or promoted]...
There are a few important points about this list...
* We think Swedish Wife Exchange Club and Comin At Ya were never released, therefore it brings the list of actual releases down. Also, Savage Sisters (1974) was a Roadshow release that I forgot to include on this list. I also mistakenly added one of the two cassette, four biker movies (Angel Unchained) as one separate release. But if you include all four films as a separate release, add Savage Sisters, and take off the other two, the total becomes 283.
* The free rental preview tapes they released are not listed here (I think there were two or three of them).
* Australia After Dark (1975) was not included because its released was delayed and then later issued by Palace Vibrant (not Roadshow Vibrant).
* Many of the Roadshow Vibrant titles were later re-released on the Palace Vibrant label.
* Many of the early adult films (Insatiable, Sex World, etc) were not placed on the Vibrant label by Roadshow, and were therefore placed into the general list here.
* Summerfield (1977) was not included because I think it was a Village Roadshow release.
* Some of the 1985 releases only had Roadshow at the top, and not Roadshow Home Video. They were included on this list, however.
* Not all of the titles listed here were released in New Zealand.
* I believe all the titles here were released in both VHS and Betamax format.
* Some of the years of production may not be completely accurate.")
