...Not the most obvious chain of logic there is there?
But looks interesting, I'll have to look out for that. |

| | @Magic Marmalade. Also look out for a One off Film called "Deep End" there are Two movies of this Title so be careful. The one You want Is This One. It has a Great Can Soundtrack. Available on the Album Can - The Soundtracks Album. This movie has just had a Short Run release by the BFI on Duel disc Blu-Ray DVD In the same Box and well worth tracking down. H. |

| | Sorry, now I see the 2000 date (sideways) on the back cover.
The rare version would be the 1985 CIC release, before the bbfc (and VPRC) saw it.
See Pre Certification Video for 13000 more.
EDIT: Ps. maybe any version of this is "rare" - I have a friend who reckons he has different 2 copies, and hopefully he'll be able to find them so I can add. |

| | Thanks everyone!
I'll try and keep a few of those in mind H (Means I'll be spending even more time in each charity shop I go in now- once I've waded through all the 78s, Vinyl albums and singles, CDs, tapes and books, I'll get on to the VHS!)
Graham - I went by the copyright on the cover for the package design, which suggests that the publishers can just continue issuing the same tape in different packaging, and one of the others I've entered has the same thing (Can't remember which), but perhaps there ought to be the option to add additional Cat No.s in "Add Missing Info" as we do with vinyl/CD worlds... So that the same entry for a tape can have multiple package variants like cover variations on vinyl, rather than have multiple entries based on the package cat, but which contain the same tape?
nb- I read the book too, and this was fairly faithful to it I thought (Has Ian Mckellen always been the same age?!!!) |

| | Re the "different cat# on the label" VFA13632.
It is a BBFC reference, type it into the last box on BBFC search and it will lead to The Keep, which was given its video certificate in 1986, so I think that should be the date of this, not 2000.
These VF (=Video Film?) numbers appear on many UK labels/dvds. Older ones like this start VFA, then later videos have VFB, VFC, and modern dvds have VFD numbers. |

| | What list is that henry?
I know it was incredibly difficult to get hold of!
I first saw it one balmy Summer evening on the BBC's Moviedrome thing. I was totally hypnotised by it (Tangerine Dream Soundtrack too), and the next day I was able, promptly marched off to the shop to buy a copy, but of course, they didn't have any, and had to eventually track it through this brilliant outfit that used to find rare movies on video called The Film Vault (.Co.uk) (Not sure if they are still around in any form) but top class service, got pretty much all of the VHS I've uploaded here from them.
Only recently on DVD I think... and Film 4 (Channel 4) have lately started showing it from what is evidently a DVD/Blu-ray source. |
