Magic Marmalade 3rd Jan 2025		VHS Dreamscape - Lumiere	I noticed this keeps appearing in the top 50 for viewed items on DVD/Blu-ray world on a semi-regular basis, so thought a little note might be in order for the curious: This edition was bought by me sometime in the mid to late nineties - likely late nineties, as it was when DVD was just becoming a thing, and there were huge "dump-'em-all" sales on VHS - in an HMV store in UK. It is the UK cut/edited version, where the scene with the nunchucks appears (or doesn't, in this case) Can't say I've ever seen a copy of this edition, with this artwork for sale ever on ebay, Amazon, or anywhere else, for that matter, so it seems not a lot of them were sold, and it probably wasn't a popular title at the time. (The red dot on the certificate on the spine was put there by my housemate at the time, in order to distinguish the owners of different tapes on a common shelf shared by three of us in the living room... so isn't of any significance to the edition/copy itself... still can't get the bugger off, as I think he used superglue, which I was less than amused by!)
Magic Marmalade 20th Nov 2024		DVD The Beatles 1 - Universal	Added temporary image... may need a better one. My disc says mad in EU, so not sure if some were made in US for that market, or if they should be regarded a s separate items.
Magic Marmalade 20th Nov 2024		DVD The Beatles 1 - Universal	Picked a copy of this up from the charity shop yesterday, and it's quite a difficult one to get a beat on... ... Discogs has two entries answering to this barcode listed as "Unofficial", yet it all looks legit to me, and ebay doesn't seem to have many listings for this individual DVD (Only the box set version with the blue "1" with a "+" next to it). This seems odd to me, given the band and title that it is, as surely there should have been more about? Anyway, having done a couple of variations on a search on internet, one result was for Record Store Day site, so it seems this was a Record Store Day Release from 2015. (Didn't think they did DVDs!) Also, it is given as region: "All", so I think it was internationally available, if only in limited amounts.
Magic Marmalade 4th Jun 2024		DVD Box Set Akira - Manga Entertainment Limited	The two versions on this each feature the different endings - one wiht the tentacles of doom! the other without.
Magic Marmalade 4th Jun 2024		DVD Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope	"Original theatrical version" / pre - special edition Lucas revisionist version is on the bonus disc of this - sweet :) Although there is some debate about that, this is as close as you get to the original release on a newer disc format. All three movies in the original trilogy were released as limited editions in this way, and each sporting the original theatrical versions on their respective bonus discs. ...Beware though, single disc versions were also released in this artwork at the same time, not featuring the bonus discs and the theatrical versions - to be sure you have the right one, it must say: "Limited Edition" in the gold banner along the top of the front cover. (I know this, because I found this a few months back, but only the other week found Empire in this Limited edition, between New Hope, and Return Of That There Jedi which were not limited editions, and had I not been sharp to the absence of the banner on those other two, I'd have been very disappointed (Still looking out for Jedi).
