gregs45s SUBS 11th Feb 2024		DVD The Essential Clash - Sony Music	OK, so, i haven't come across one of these before, a test DVD presumably sent to reviewers/the publisher?, i've seen similar test CD's but not a test DVD until now.It has the full programme/menus as the commercial "The Essential Clash" release from 2003, with 12 music videos, 1 silent black and white film entitled "Hell W10" featuring members of the band, 3 early promo videos (which are great), "I Fought The Law" live and an interview clip from 1976. The Disc matrix is ... Sony Music IFPI L557/558 52018869000-A911/52018869000-B911 17 The customer is SME UK (?) and i wonder if that should have been SMV UK who perhaps are the SMV Enterprises who did the UK commercial release ?. I was lucky enough to see The Clash fairly early at the Southampton Top Rank in Nov '77, where they were supported by Richard Hell And The Voidoids and The Lou's, which was part of the "Get Out Of Contol Tour", it was a great concert, and i've just found an audio recording of that entire concert on YouTube which i'm listening to now, ahhh, nostalgia ;)
gregs45s SUBS 11th Oct 2023		Blu-ray Soundgarden - Live From The Artists Den (2019)	Temporary images only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all scans.
gregs45s SUBS 13th Jul 2023		Blu-ray Avatar: The Way Of Water - 20th Century Studios (2023)	Have not watched this yet (sometime this weekend, no spoilers please;) but surprised to see it's only got a 7.6/10 rating on IMDB. Bit miffed with the packaging as, instead of the usual rigid "Amaray" Blu-ray case, you get a flimsy "Elite" case, which flexes alarmingly as you try to open it!, and, it only holds a reduced size inlay/artwork which, is also on thinner than usual card/paper. (Here's hoping the film's good anyway;) I was also shocked to find that the 3D Blu-ray of this is £34.99 in HMV!, Gulp! (Now watched and i must say deserves better than a 7.5/10, i would rate it at an 8 or 8.5/10. Technically, it's brilliant, the one reserve being that it's about half an hour longer than it may have needed to be)
gregs45s SUBS 26th Jun 2023		VCD Black Adder Goes Forth - BBC (1999)	I'm not sure if this is an official BBC release, but it sort of looks genuine;)
gregs45s SUBS 9th Jun 2023		DVD The DVD Difference - Philips (1998)	Philips promotional extolling the benefits of the DVD format, Having film (see scan) and music clips The musicians featured are ... Eric Clapton - Layla / Madonna - Vogue / The Three Tenors - O Sole Mio / Cardigans - Lovefool / Cake - The Distance / 311 - Down / I thought the first DVD's were released in 1996?, making this 1998 release a bit late to be something "new" i would have thought?.
gregs45s SUBS 10th May 2023		Multi-Format Eric Clapton - The Lady In The Balcony (2021)	This is quite a good set, with great musicianship throughout, recorded in lockdown.
gregs45s SUBS 1st May 2023		DVD Monsters, Inc. - Buena Vista (2002)	I wonder why this keeps appearing in the Top 50's?, i think it may be one of those "sticky's" that have turned up in the past, it seems to be in the DVD Top 50 almost daily. (I realise it's a popular movie, but... ;)
gregs45s SUBS 6th Mar 2023		VHS Ginger Baker: Master Drum Technique - Hot Licks	I seem to remember hearing a great 11 minute or so, drum solo by Ginger on a Cream album called "Cream On Top". which, i believed to be a mail-order only LP, or am i totally "mis-remembering" this? :)
gregs45s SUBS 21st Jan 2023		Multi-Format Garden Of The Titans: Opeth Live At Red Rocks Amphitheatre - Nuclear Blast (2018)	Temporary scans only as this one's still sealed, feel free to replace any/all images.
gregs45s SUBS 17th Aug 2022		DVD Joan Baez 75th Birthday Celebration - Razor And Tie (2016)	Not a bad gathering, guests include...David Bromberg, David Crosby, Damien Rice, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Emmylou Harris, Jackson Browne, Mavis Staples, Indigo Girls, Richard Thompson, Judy Collins, Nano Stern, Paul Simon, all still in fairly strong voice. 8/10
gregs45s SUBS 15th Jun 2022		VCD Ronaldinho - Unknown (2006)	A bit of detective work was/is required on this one as i could not find it online, i am guessing it's Chinese? as the ISRC code reads ... ISRC - CN-A39-06-0028-0/V.G4. Looking around it appears that ISRC codes start with the country (CN here, so presumably China) followed by the company code (unknown) and then the date (06 here). If anyone can confirm it's Chinese, and, if so, perhaps would be good enough to add any missing details with regard to the publisher/title etc., that would be helpful Thanks in advance.
gregs45s SUBS 7th May 2022		Blu-ray Total Recall - Sony Pictures Home Entertainment (2012)	MODS... This is the one with Colin Farrell playing the lead not the original I'm normally not a fan of remakes, but this stands on it's own, as it doesn't follow the original story line exactly, and so differs enough to make it interesting to see what happens next. There are some (funny) nods to the original, and some great effects, the future city-scapes being well done, if not a little reminiscent of Bladerunner, but then, all city's will probably go this way with plenty of neon advertising and mostly rainy days (the way the weathers going:) I would give it an 8/10 for effort.
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Apr 2022		DVD Stevie Ray Vaughan - The TV Broadcast Collection (2020)	Rated 9/10 Chuffed to find this one going relatively cheap on ebay (£12 new) as i did not have any of his TV appearances. Pleased to say it's worth the money, with some great performances, highlights being "Voodoo Chile" on German TV, and trading licks with Jeff Healey on Canadian TV. Despite a couple of fashion faux pas from Stevie (it was the 80's after all:), his sheer talent shines throughout, and mesmerises you, truly gifted. Recommended to old fans and those yet to discover him, 9/10 3 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
gregs45s SUBS 10th Feb 2022		Blu-ray Dune [2021] - Warner Bros. Home Entertainment (2022)	MM Just seen your review for this one, which coincidentally i watched last night. I'd have to agree with your comments, and i think it's good stuff (the remaking of any classic must be tough, and i think they've done a good job here) One problem though, nowhere on any of the artwork does it say "Part 1" !, you only find that out when you put the Disc in !, had i known this i might not have coughed up the pennies ! I am now considering suing Warner Bros. ;)
gregs45s SUBS 3rd Jun 2021		DVD American Buffalo - Film 4 (2008)	This has a definite "Acting Class" feel to the film, as it features only 3 characters throughout.
gregs45s SUBS 12th Mar 2020		DVD Stereophonics - Language, Sex, Violence, Other? (2006)	Temporary scans only as this one's still sealed, so please feel free to replace them.
gregs45s SUBS 19th Feb 2020		DVD Pink Floyd - Pink Floyd In Concert P.U.L.S.E. (2005)	I think this is a duplication?, i already added it here a while back, could a Mod check ,and merge if so, ta.
gregs45s SUBS 17th Feb 2020		Blu-ray Ad Astra - 20th Century Fox (2020)	Rated 7/10 Slightly disappointed with this one, as a Sci-Fi fan, and would have to agree with this review... "It is a movie more for the critics and lovers of cinema art, and less for general public wanting some space sci-fi epic. It reminds me somewhat of "Gravity", a big build up, and a rather rushed/disappointing ending. Still, the cinematography is admittedly good, and a good soundtrack (Max Richter), so all is not lost, but if you are looking for aliens/other worlds, then look elsewhere. personally, a 7/10 for me. 5 people found this review helpful. ✔︎ Helpful Review?
gregs45s SUBS 23rd Sep 2019		Blu-ray The Magic Christian - Fabulous Films (2017)	Of historical interest perhaps,but still not funny IMHO,sorry,and i'm not swayed by reviews. I sat down to watch this,knowing that there would be a "cringe factor" involved given the date,but,even allowing for this,it's dire,drugs being the only thing that could make it better;) (@Quadpoint5..Perhaps agree to disagree on this one? ;)(no harm intended,just a difference of opinion)
gregs45s SUBS 21st Sep 2019		DVD The Magic Christian - Universal (2006)	You'd think with the talent available from both the cast (Ringo aside:)and writers (inc contributions from Graham Chapman,Cleese,Sellers) that this would be funny.It's not! (an hour and a half of my life that i'll never get back;),another case of "too many cooks..."
gregs45s SUBS 29th Jun 2019		DVD Chocolate - Cine Asia (2008)	Teenager JeeJa Yanin kicks some serious butt in this movie,a role which she trained two years for.There's some great Jackie Chan style of fighting using furniture,weapons,and anything else that comes to hand on set.There is humour as well.
gregs45s SUBS 23rd Jun 2019		DVD The Singer's Bum - A View From The Drums (2005)	"Not strictly a Go West DVD, this DVD features backstage footage shot by Go West drummer Richard Brook over a period of three months whilst on tour with Go West, Tony Hadley and ABC. It's a hard one to sum up in a few sentences, but it really is essential viewing for anyone who’s ever wondered if life on the road really is as exciting as it seems This DVD is feature packed with hilarious behind the scenes footage, live clips and gives fans an intriguing insight into what life really is like on the road. Like they say, what goes on the road, stays on the road! Or maybe not...just buy it. This DVD also includes a video of the recording of Let Love Come the next single from Go West." I got this second-hand and, although i can clearly make out both Richard Drummie's and Peter Cox's signatures (Go West),i can't make out the other one,anyone?. (Title correction submitted)
gregs45s SUBS 5th May 2019		Blu-ray Bohemian Rhapsody - 20th Century Fox (2019)	With a nod to hiwatt1973,Blu-ray case artwork scan and advert added. Haven't seen this yet (tonight's viewing) ,but by all accounts,supposedly a good portrayal of the band,so looking forward to it. (PPS Excellent! 9/10)
gregs45s SUBS 26th Apr 2019		DVD Life Is But A Dream / Live In Atlantic City - 2 Entertain (2013)	Temporary scans only,this one's still in it's outer shrink wrap,so please feel free to replace any/all images. (The"Bonus Song" sticker is on the outer shrink wrap)
gregs45s SUBS 2nd Sep 2018		LaserDisc Star Wars - 20th Century Fox (1982)	@Paul Woods Hi,i can only point out what's on ebay,and looking at the history,one sold (open) for £7,and one didn't sell for £17.There is currently one on ebay (not good condition)with one bid of £5 with a couple of days to go,so it might be worth keeping an eye on that one,to see how it ends. If you have two that are sealed,then they would command a premium i would imagine (starting price of £20 might be about right?),it's a matter of finding a Star Wars fan out there would wants it,so auction sites might be your best bet Unfortunately,we don't sell or offer for sale anything on this site yet,so it would have to be put on ebay or similar sites by yourself. cheers Greg
gregs45s SUBS 10th Jul 2018		Blu-ray Barbarella - Paramount (2012)	Was unsure if you want the "Queen Of The Galaxy" bit in the title?,please amend as you see fit. Disc on this one has a bronzed metallic finish,which does not scan well,a photo might be better.
