Fraggle Rock - Back to Fraggle Rock for a Special Edition
Posted by David Lambert

This past July saw the release of the first-ever Fraggle Rock DVD, called Where It All Began. Sold exclusively in Wal-Mart stores, it contained the first three episodes of the series, and a bonus episode of a Swiss claymation-style show called Pingu.

Now HIT Entertainment is ready to bring the same release out in a new Special Edition, which will contain all the same material listed above, plus new extras like a featurette called "Fraggle Songs: A 45 minute Musical History of Fraggle Rock", plus an episode of the 1987 cartoon version of Fraggle Rock called "The Great Fraggle Freeze". All told, the features and the supplements are said to run 170 minutes together.

The release date is October 19th, and it won't be limited to any particular chain this time. Many popular retail chains such as Best Buy are already planning to stock the Fraggle Rock - Where It All Began: Special Edition DVD, or you can just pre-order it now from Amazon. List price is $16.99, but Amazon will cut you a deal for 30% off if you place your advance order right now!

Wow! 45 minutes on the Fraggle Music! Does anyone know what is shown on this segment?

I imagine it's a rehash of the 1984 video release "Fraggle Songs." But that's 52 mins, so they may leave some songs out of it (such as the ones used in the first three episodes).
