BUSTY STARS OF THE STAGS

Another collection of rare loops, this time assembled by self-styled smut connoisseur 4dnd Street Pete.

Across two discs, Pete introduces us to a collection of loops (or "stags") all with one thing in common: their female stars are all well-endowed in the chest department.

Disc one offers no less than 12 loops, each of which last around 8 or 9 minutes in length. Each short film benefits from a brief onscreen introduction from the shamelessly sleazy Pete - who takes time out to not only point out famous faces from the halcyon days of porn, but also to tell us what particular attributes or shocking acts we should look out for in said loops.

Of the loops on offer on disc one, the highlights for me were the following:

COFFEE CLUTCH

This one features the lovely Vanessa Del Rio, one of American porno's most noted black performers, giving a simultaneous tit-wank/blowjob.

ANNIE'S GIRL

Starring Annie Sprinkle (Nick Zedd's ECSTASY IN ENTROPY), the "nastiest girl" in porn according to Pete. Here - in one of the few loops to actually be graced with a semblance of a plot - she and a female friend cavort on a bed, pleasuring each other with a dildo. When the dildo breaks, they telephone a - wait for it - dildo repair man! He promptly arrives on the scene, but instead of fixing their vibrator he decides to get in on the action.

SUPER TITS

An aptly titled short that showcases a really pretty brunette with a stunning figure (or "great rack", as Pete says) who takes a load in her mouth and lets it dribble onto her ample breasts.

RHONDA MEETS SEKA

Purely because it's Seka, and we get to see her performing some really enthusiastic fellatio.

Elsewhere, there's a loop starring Candy Samples entitled CANDY AND DICK which isn't of much interest, but I mention it here as it's the only stag in this 2-disc set that is (a) black-and white, and (b) soft core.

Over on disc two, we get treated to 10 more hardcore loops from the 1970s, all again blessed with women sporting large mammary glands.

The pick of the bunch here were:

MORE THAN A THREE WAY

Here we get see Annie Sprinkle lying on her back while a female friend squats in front of her face. The friend is then shagged anally - the man pulls out and masturbates himself into Sprinkle's face and mouth. You don't get a lot of that these days …

ASS LICKER

Another aptly titled curiosity which boasts a ginger-haired woman who likes to give her partner's anus a good licking. It all ends with the prettiest girl in the entire collection getting a facial.

TONGUE TWISTED

A very energetic lesbian romp co-starring the ever-watchable Vanessa Del Rio.

The lowpoint on disc two (or rather, the biggest letdown) is ARTISTS AND MODEL'S BALL. Pete introduces this one as his most requested loop of all time. It certainly sounds promising - the onscreen pairing of John Holmes and Candy Samples.

But, as ever, Holmes fails to get it up for half of the 9-minute loop. Luckily Samples has another woman to fool around with while Holmes just stands there waving his flaccid member around. When he does eventually get it up, he sticks it in the other woman and presumably cums very quickly. It's all over sharpish, and there's no money shot to boot.

The loops are presented across both discs in 1.78:1, and have been enhanced for 16x9 TV sets. Although they're all perfectly watchable, it must be highlighted that they are very rough-looking. Colours come through well and grain is minimal, but little can be done about the amount of scratches and specks on screen.

As for audio, each of the loops is presented silent.

Both discs offer menus allowing us the option of watching the loops in one run (Play All) or perusing them individually.

The only extras on disc one are trailers for six volumes of 8MM MADNESS, and a trailer for SUPERSTAR PROFILE: JOHN HOLMES which opens the disc.

Disc two offers a bonus loop entitled NICE BROWN JUGGS. True to form, this one comes complete with a pretty coloured woman who unties her nightgown to reveal a fine pair of breasts. Then, also true to form, indulges in a spot of fucking and sucking.

There's also trailers on disc two for 12 titles, including LE CHIC and SEX ON WHEELS.

Finally, the package is boosted by an 8-page booklet with colour photographs and a paragraph on each loop by Pete. He must've read Roger Mellie's Thesaurus in advance - this guy has an amusing collection of various expressions for genitalia.

If you like your porn to come with real women, free from silicon and saline enhancements, then this is going to be a treat for you. Dirty, sweaty and real. A bargain for fans.
