A Wrecking Crew on DVD
A treasure trove of witness-at-creation anecdotes and enduringly potent '60s pop classics, "The Wrecking Crew" is a well-nigh irresistible treat for aficionados of music from the era when acts like the Beach Boys, the Association and the Monkees were topping the charts. Pic celebrates a loose-knit group of largely unknown (except by industry insiders) session musicians, many of whom supplied the defining licks and backbeats -- and in some cases, actually played instruments for band members -- on legendary recordings. Nostalgia-drenched rockumentary should score impressively as cable fare, homevid product and public television fund-raiser.

Is it really on DVD? Because last I read, it had no distribution either theatrically or on home video. What you posted sounds like a PR blurb in hopes of getting it out there. The photo is of some urban exploitation movie with Ice and Snoop, not a documentary about session musicians.
