Joe Valdez ’70’s Collection: GMV Legends # 27  

This is the BEST QUALITY SUPER 8 FILM TO VIDEO THAT WE HAVE EVER OFFERED!

Once again we are showcasing many stars from the 1970’s from our Super 8 films archives. Most of these old 8 mm films were given to us by our friend Joe Valdez, shortly before he passed away. I would say that they have never been seen before. They are absolute classics, superbly filmed by a master cameraman who understood the California light and used beautiful scenic backgrounds.

These gems of bodybuilding are now available as video downloads and DVDs. Thanks to Joe’s camera expertise, the film quality is outstanding. All film is in colour unless otherwise stated.
This release is dedicated to the memory of our dear friend, Joe Valdez, RIP.

Here are the stars and contest highlights seen in this approximate order:
