Bob,
From the email, and see below:
"Abbott and Costello fans, your requests have been heard! This week, we are pleased to present two of "the boys'" most highly sought after films on DVD for the first time.
ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET CAPTAIN KIDD (1952) REMASTERED When waiters Rocky...
I just read a note posted back in March of 2010 that
ABBOT AND COSTELLO MEET CAPTAIN KIDD
has been restored and was likely to be released by WB when
they do their restored release of ABBOT AND COSTELLO's "Jack and the Beanstalk"
John Sparks-
THANK YOU! I did order that version from Amazon.com
for $16.99. It arrived yesterday.
(They sell several versions, so I am including
a link here: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/stores/detail/-/dvd/6305010471/tech-info/104-5066639-3136720
Thanks again!

John Sparks-
Thanks for your post, and WELCOME TO THE FORUM!
(it looks like that was your first post).
Anyway, I have found two DVDs of Africa Screams
that appear to be using the same silver keep case
that says "Silver Screen Collector's Edition."
Neither say they are by DVD Matter.
Here...
Thanks to all have posted thus far regarding
Abbott and Costello. Really I have been looking
for the best copy available on DVD of Africa Screams.
I have The Roan Group's version of Orson Welles' The Stranger,
so I know a bit about them, and yes,
I'd bet of all the "public domain"...
2011 EDIT: The discussion of "Abbott and Costello Meet Captain Kidd" starts on page 3.
I own several DVDs of Abbott and Costello films:
Africa Screams (appears to be public domain)
Buck Privates (Universal release via Image-Entertainment)
Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein...
