The Supremes Sing Medieval Television History

If it's live TV filmed off the screen, does it even matter that it's lipsynched? There's so much broadcasting history on display on the Supremes DVD Reflections: The Definitive Performances, 1964-1969, the music is almost incidental. Why do ultra-tame afterschool dance shows like "Shivaree" somehow look so dynamic and unpredictable? What looks like Rotoscope gives way to early black-and-white video, then eye-popping color. Unfortunately, the liner notes are skimpy when it comes to technical issues.

You can also watch the clips with bare, a capella vocal tracks from the studio ... if you like stuff that's really eerie.
