Views: 3476

Here is Part 1 of a compilation of assorted Son of Svengoolie (and in turn, the original Svengoolie) clips. I did not make this compilation - it has been floating around the trading circles for a long time, and this is the best copy I've been able to find. It has some neat clips you will not see anywhere else. It's labeled "Son of Svengoolie - 1979 to 1983 - Clips" in a crude computer generated font - again, I did not produce any of this.
