She did confirm that they are working on a Diane Lane/Laura Dern commentary. Also, being the high def dork that I am, I inquired about Blu-ray (as I have pretty much stopped buying regular dvd's). Her answer was:
The film has been restored and could be released on Blu Ray but that would delay us another several months due to the backlog at the plants. So it will be a standard dvd but very good quality at least.
This is one that I'll go ahead and buy no matter what. It is a release I want to support. I know a lot of hard work is going in to finally bringing it out and doing it right!

It's good to know that they are doing this film right. "Fabulous Stains" deserves that! Great!
Maybe they could release a blu-ray version at a later date in the near future ???????

Re: Paramount -- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS
Hello everyone,
Can't believe that this thread has been in existence for as long as it has. I've just come across it, just read the whole thread from the May 2001 beginnings to this past May's talk of the DVD FINALLY being released. (sniff sniff) I feel like I know you all now.
I am a doctoral candidate in cultural studies writing my dissertation on representation of amateurism in film and tv, specifically as it relates to fictional amateur/semiprofessional music making.
New to the forum and sorry if I am a bit off topic to specifically LAGTFS's DVD release, but this seemed a great place to ask this stuff:
Anyone have a PDF of Sarah Jacobson's Grand Royal article on The Stains? Issue 6, is a tough one.
Mark, have you written/published anything on The Stains?
Anyone read the article in No Focus: Punk on Film?
Jake, I e-mailed you earlier today.
In regards to the release, has the Carol King song been cleared?
How 'bout the Cook/Jones stuff, since they were with Virgin at the time?
Anyone else have anything else to share/of interest, please feel free to e-mail me off-list at colinhelb at gmail dot com.
Thanks.

Of course, things can change. 
I know this is being discussed in another thread:
"Long a cult favorite of punk and rock aficionados, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains will finally surface on DVD. The 1981 film, shelved after a brief theatrical run, arrives Sept. 16 to inaugurate Rhino's Rock 'n' Roll Cinema series."

Re: Paramount -- LADIES AND GENTLEMEN THE FABULOUS STAINS
Coming attractions: 'Fabulous Stains' comes to DVD - USATODAY.com
Okay, since the "official" announcement made it to USA Today, I guess I can offer some details, though I probably don't have any more information than Jake Fogelnest does. We've both been allowed some behind-the-scenes details on this project, but out of respect to Rhino some of those details must stay under wraps for now.
What is safe to say:
The movie will be anamorphic widescreen.
All the music has been cleared.
Paramount has been unable to locate any deleted scenes, but they did locate the film's original trailer, which will certainly be a revelation to many fans as almost no one outside of Denver, Colorado (where it's initial engagement took place) has seen it before.
Lou Adler's commentary is finished.
When there's more news, you will definitely hear from Jake or myself about it.
I can say that the Rhino personnel working on this are possibly the finest people to work on a DVD release that I have ever encountered. I am filled with hope that this could very well be a contender for DVD of the Year.
