****Excellent***Good**Fair*Poor : VIDEOCASSETTES

“Massage--Simple.” Pooka. $19.95. The sound of Christmas is sleigh bells and children’s laughter. The sound of post-Christmas may be Dad and Mom’s moans and groans from sore muscles and sore dispositions. To ease the pain, here’s a practical, soothing medium-is-the-massage tape. Gentle narration and piano music grace this 50-minute lesson in how to rub people the right way. Simply but nicely produced by Rollin Swan, the video employs “Swedish, Shiastu and Sports Massage techniques” and contains no nudity, unless you count bare backs.
