Rock On - Record Bag		The new Rock On record shop, not in London but in Stamford, Lincolnshire.
Record bag is a reworked version of the one they used during the latter days of when they were based in Camden, London.

First Blood (1982)		Now renamed as "Rambo:First Blood" on 4K discs, while the second in the series is now called "Rambo:First Blood Part II".

The Singing Ringing Tree - Network		Filmed in a widescreen eye-popping saturated colour palette.
During a trip to Berlin many years back, and while looking for rare DVDs, I discovered that this is just one of at least 2 dozen 'fairytale features' made by the same East German production company (DEFA Stiftung) in 1950s-1970s. I would have bought many of the available DVDs but unfortunately only 3 had an English language option, including The Golden Goose and The Devil's Three Golden Hairs.

Look At Life Volume 8 : People And Places - Network		Volume 8 is the largest in the Look At Life series and rounds up the remaining titles that were not pigeonholed onto the other 7 volumes, (and in that respect is the most varied and, dare I say, most interesting of the series). I do own volumes 1, 3, 5, 6, 7 & 8.

Note that since Network went bust last year all volumes are likely to become sought after collectors items.

The Shining (1980)		Note that there are 2 official versions of the film, the USA version at 2hours 26mins, and the trimmed version at 1hour 55mins - cutting out a lot of incidental stuff but losing much of the ominous feel and slow built up of tension.
After Kubrick's death the long version, now referred to as the extended cut, has become widely available on Blu-ray, 4K and some DVDs (I think it was always the version on Region 1 DVDs), and I recommend this as the one to watch.
For artistic reasons Kubrick shot the film full frame, and it is best viewed without any matting. Unfortunately recent transfers present the film 1:85 (or wider) for a more 'cinematic look'.
