Blackhawk initially released its Our Gang prints for home movie use, and years later, made them available
on VHS. Usually, these prints were leased to other companies and sold in stores. However, Blackhawk itself also made VHS
tapes available through its mail-order service. All of the prints on the volumes listed below are the Blackhawk
prints. I've given details only for the volumes that I actually own. Also check out the page for Republic Pictures Home Video for other releases of these prints.
