There should be copies of the Mondo Bizarro/Mondo Freudo double bill DVD around somewhere, possibly through Amazon or even Something Weird Video itself. It's the best way to go - The two films, plus commentary from Johnny Legend and Eric Caidin who were not involved with the movies but have a ton of seriously interesting stories that fit perfectly anyways, and Mondo Trailers and a gallery of Mondo Movie one sheets used to sell the films in theaters.
The real bits on Mondo Bizarro are as follows - A look into Frederick's of Hollywood that turns into a nice bra show, the Artists Against the Vietnam War happening on Sunset which gets the attention of Pro-War demonstrators, the Sunset Strip footage you saw (Re: the edit in the video - the full chapter has a little extra, if you know what I mean...1966 standards of course, but still cool.), a trip to Vito's studio, and a look into the Sunset Theater where Olympic International had a screen to show it's films in the pre-1968 days and contained a gallery of paintings of women (The "rich owner" I think was Vince Miranda, later famous for his Pussycat Theaters, of which the Sunset turned into a little after the film's release).
