Shout! Factory is preparing to release to DVD two titles from the Dick Clark Productions vault: The 1964 music film The T.A.M.I. Show and the 1979 TV movie Elvis. Under the agreement, Shout! Factory has exclusive U.S. and Canada home entertainment distribution rights.

The T.A.M.I. Show (Teenage Awards Music International) includes performances from the Rolling Stones, James Brown, Marvin Gaye, the Beach Boys, Chuck Berry, the Supremes and Smokey Robinson, filmed live at the Santa Monica Civic Auditorium.

Elvis, directed by John Carpenter, starred Kurt Russell as Elvis Presley in a biopic of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll. The film also stars Shelly Winters as Elvis’ mother and Pat Hingle as Col. Tom Parker.

Both releases are expected in 2010.
