*** This post is for the 1974 edition of this film. (ie: including the interview segments) If you'd prefer the original 1972 edition of the film (no interviews), you need to go here for the film and here for the cover art.

Another Edition

Here's another UK VHS tape from the early 1980s that was sent in by a reader. I'm thinking that we should probably open a gallery. B-)

Film Editions

Some folks have been posting comments about their editions of this film, their memories of watching it for the first time, etc. The above are all of the editions that I have cluttering up my shelves. The blue VHS came first - back in the 1980s. The laserdisk came along in the 1990s, when I could afford to buy things like laserdisks from time to time, but could not afford anything so expensive as a player. I bought the VCD edition because, well, I'd heard that it was "official" and not a bootleg. (I'd previously believed all VCDs to be bootlegs.) When I watched it, it came through as black & white. Turns out that if you play PAL VCDs on NTSC DVD players on NTSC TV sets, one thing that can happen is that the film is shown in black & white. Weird. When the official DVD came out, well, obviously, I had to pick that up, because I hoped that it would address the various flaws in the film & there was the additional footage & there was Storm Thorgerson's involvement....

I guess it'll come as no surprise, coming from a guy who owns 4 different editions of this film, that my favorite edition of them all is this one.

Here are a few images sent in of the UK VHS edition -

The official cover art for this post has just been released. Lovely!

This is a film from 1972, not 1970. That typo is my fault & should not reflect badly on the otherwise really top-notch effort. Please see the comments for details.
