I'm a lover of classic adult films from the Golden Age of Porn. The Golden Age is typically considered to have lasted from 1972 to 1984 so I've compiled a list of DVDs available that are from that era. This is an all inclusive list so others might be able to find real classic films, not a 'classic' video from 1996! However, the films are here because of the date they were produced not the quality, so be warned there are some bad movies mixed in with the good. (But, in my humble opinion, a bad film from the Golden Age is on par with a good film from today.) I hope you find this list useful and please let me know of any errors or ommissions. I will update it as often as necessary and promise to try and keep it current.

If you know of a film that is missing, has gone out of print (oop) or has been edited, please let me know and I will update it on the list. Thanks.
An excellent idea, especially including a note against edited titles.
Looking through the list, I noticed one possible error with the inclusion of Pandora's Mirror . I don't think it is available on DVD yet and the only store who believe otherwise are Excalibur (where the sleeve pic is obviously taken from the VHS boxcover).
Wanderer - Thanks for your comments. I've added the three titles you mentioned (Girlfriends, Outlaw Ladies, & Honey Throat) to the list and also added them to my "to buy" list. I hope I find that there are more that I missed because that means there are more classics available!
With regards to Pandora's Mirror , in addition to Excalibur it's also up on Action-DVD.com's site. I ordered it earlier today so I guess I'll see soon enough if it's available. Until then, I'll leave it up (wishful thinking ).
Also, I have 3AM & Aunt Peg and the quality is up to NuTech's usual standards. 3AM does look older, of course but I was satisfied with the video and audio. Aunt Peg is great. (I love NuTech - except when they edit!) As far as I know, they are uncut but I had seen neither before so I'm not the best authority on these titles. There are no jumps that made me suspect anything but if you know of a questionable scene in either I'll tell you whether it's intact. As films, they are excellent and I reccomend both. 3AM reminds me of a Ingmar Bergman film and Aunt Peg has some unbelievably hot sex. Check 'em out!
I recently bought Girls in Blue parts 1 & 2 on DVD, released by VCX (as you point out, these are also referred to as Little Girls Blue 1 & 2).They are together on one disc, and each 'feature' is under one hour. The short running time combined with some jumpy story-telling implies to me that they may have been edited for this release.
I really enjoyed the movie, and found it much more erotic than most modern porn. So, two questions:
1. Is this release edited, and if so are there unedited versions available on DVD?
2. Since you (Black Coffee) seem to have an interest in and extensive knowledge of this 'porn period', can you recommend any other good younger girl themed features from the Seventies?
magnuspym - 1. With regards to your question about Girls in Blue being edited, I've heard a rumor that it is. I don't want to spread rumors though so I'm waiting for my copy to come in the mail or for someone else to verify that it is. VCX has the only version available on DVD. 2. Younger themed from the 70's : Desires Within Young Girls; Debbie Does Dallas; 3AM
Steph - Thank you for ADT!
greybeard - Thanks for your encouragement. Added Every Woman Has a Fantasy to the list. I don't have this DVD and am curious so could you please tell me where it's been edited? Thanks. (Also, I did not put Devil in Miss Jones 3 & 4 on the list because they were produced after 1984.)
Here's the info on Every Woman Has a Fantasy 1 & 2 . It's a double set, two features on one DVD. Both films have been edited to an appreciable extent.
EWHAF1 has had any and all images and/or references to Kristara Barrington removed (this was one in which she was supposedly underage), which has made minced meat (chop suey?) of a number of scenes! Of course, all her sex stuff is gone, but also any shots of her in the rest of the movie, as well. If she was included in a two- or three-shot, that frame has been enlarged to remove her, making the resulting video look horrible! If I'm not mistaken, an unrelated scene (from some other film, I think) with John Leslie screwing some other girl has been inserted to help replace the deleted running time.
EWHAF2 has had major cuts also. About half to two-thirds of the mild S&M scene in the limousine between John Leslie and Lois Ayres has been removed. Once she's finished removing most of her clothes, there's a cut to an exterior of the limo parked at the side of the road, a fadeout and on to the next scene! There's another small cut later on. In the scene with John Leslie and Keli Richards on the stairs (about 61 minutes in), Leslie only gets two fingers into her. 43 seconds are missing from the original, in which Keli asks for, and gets, three fingers. Hardly a fisting, but VCA cut it anyway!
In short, I sent the DVD back to Excalibur (via their Exchange Program), and I'm hanging on to my VHS copies for now!

Maybe it's been a long time but I don't recall half of them being there in my day. Was it the wine? or were they only on video? Whatever it is, .... this is how I remember it.
So Julia, first of all welcome to the board and second can we expect to see the Exhausted DVD get better distribution anytime soon? Or is this going to basically always be an exclusive item for excite?
Exhausted is being distributed by MG Media (I-candy priors)and should show up on the shelves of retailers and e-tailers very soon, if not - as we speak.
Is "Centerspread Girls" in stereo? This actually did have a Dolby Stereo soundtrack, though I don't know how many theaters that played it had the equipment for it. I did see a VHS of it marked "Stereo" a long time ago but never got around to renting it. I've heard Caballero's DVDs are pretty bad quality, with pausing in between scenes- true? That's bad considering they were one of the only porn companies doing good-quality VHS tapes; other companies didn't have Hi-Fi soundtracks on them but theirs always did! I have a copy of "Stiff Competition" (1984) on VHS which is in stereo, and I have "I Like To Watch" (1982) on laserdisc but it's in mono, even though it says "Dolby Stereo" in the credits.
