Our first look at this collection reveals a consistent use of 16mm reduction prints for the video transfers of five films included. The transfer for Oranges and Lemons, for instance, originates from a Video Yesteryear VHS videotape, and the resulting quality is passable.

The films are accompanied by soundtracks compiled from preexisting recordings.
