Career-Spanning Richard Pryor CD/DVD Box Set on Deck

*A CD/DVD box set devoted to comedian Richard Pryor’s entire career – comedy records, complete concert films and TV special highlights – will be available for fans beginning next summer, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Santa Monica’s Shout! Factory (known for making DVDs of classic TV shows) has partnered with Indigo Inc, run by Pryor’s widow, to produce and distribute the retrospective.

“From his classic routines to fresh, undiscovered material, this box set will provide a rich overview of his comedic vision,” said Indigo CEO Jennifer Lee Pryor.

The set will be released in summer 2012.
