Isnt this the guy who spent 3 days rubbing plaster on a wall to get the right effect, and #800K of his own money to make Mamouna? But we never know with Ferry maybe he'll surprise us like with ATGB. Maybe a studio deadline like with FYP will force more spontaneous stuff.

I will make 6 copies of the DVD: 3 copies for burners in the UK 2 copies for non-burners in the UK 1 copy for burner in Europe Volunteers should contact me offlist at alan.wellbelove@ntlworld.com . I will pass on my address to the successful applicants. If you could kindly send stamped self addressed DVD postal packaging (with blank DVD-R, if possible) I would be grateful. See Andy's original email below for fuller specifications:- quote 1. The entire tape contents have been compressed to fit on one single layer 4.7GB DVD-R disc - these discs are the most compatible DVD blanks on the market. 2. Most (note not all) domestic living room DVD players can play these discs (unlike the dual layer 8.5GB ones becoming available nowadays). 3. The disc has been created in PAL and with Region 0 - if your player cannot play PAL DVDs then, sorry, you'll have to make your own arrangements to turn it into NTSC. However, most (again not all) DVD players can easily cope with PAL disc playback. And most (nearly 100% this time) computer DVD players can cope. 4. The disc has been created with thumbnail menu selection for all the 'tracks' or clips that were on the tape - all 34 of them! So now the viewer can jump straight to the French soap opera clip for example. :-) The disc can also be played in it's entirety as one mammoth clip fest!! Nearly three hours of strange and rare celluloid experiences. Anyone curious about the precise content should email Martin (martinstockman@btinternet.com) with the subject line: "A Perfumed Sigh - DVD track list please" and he'll mail back the scan of the original case artwork. 5. Of course, MPEG2 video compression is 'bad' and VHS is not an ideal source material but it has to be remembered that the original VHS release was made up of clips from all manner of domestic video recordings that fans sent in to Martin. Those clips were then turned into DV by our tame editor of the time and compiled back onto a DV master (since lost in time) and then VHS copies were mass duplicated. So, my source material was not perfect (by a long way) but the results are definitely viewable and are, in many cases, totally unique records of performances you otherwise are very unlikely to see. 6. Lastly, and I really hope that you all abide by this, I don't want to see this appearing on eBay for money. This compilation was done by fans for fans and it annoys the bejesus out of me when I see some idle b*st*rd making huge profit out of our collective goodwill and effort. I will be checking for it and reporting any vendors to the eBay policemen. My thumbnail menus are unique and created by me so it will be easy to spot the copies of this original disc. unquote Regards Alan ___________________________________________________________________________ To unsubscribe, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe avalon ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 17 Oct 2005 18:10:19 -0400 From: "Arnold Schulberg" Subject: RE: [AVALON] Bryan Ferry ATGB Brussels Concert Meanwhile, Rod Stewart has released his FOURTH album of standards covers.
