(1970s compilation, 2006)
FBusty Stars of the Stags, aka Busty Superstars of the 70s, is a collection
of 8 mm loops focusing on women with big breasts. For those unfamiliar with
the 8 mm loop, it was the most common format for porn in the period before
video tape became common. Each loop lasted about ten minutes, had no sound,
and depicted one sex scene. You could feed quarters into a peep booth to watch
them (it took several quarters to see a whole one), or if you were lucky
enough to have an 8 mm projector and a local retail outlet, you could purchase
them. They mostly came in unlabeled white boxes, so the contents were a
pot-luck secret until you doused the lights and ran the projector.
Note that these are hardcore "films" (or more properly, "scenes"), and somehow
seem "dirtier" than the VHS and DVD efforts that followed. Every woman I
have ever shown one to complained about the projector noise, which is
faithfully reproduced here, as is the authentically uneven video quality. If
you have nostalgia for these loops, or affection for these early porn
actresses, or even curiosity about the 8 mm loop, this is a reasonable
collection.
