What a gem! All the old Matt Bianco videos with our lovely Bash! She is featured in 5 promo videos - Get Out Your Lazy Bed, Sneaking Out the Back Door, Whose Side Are You On?, Half a Minute, and More Than I Can Bear! The production was so "primitive" and "lo-tech" that it is almost hilarious to watch some of them, especially "Half a Minute" which is so bad that it's good (am I making sense here?)! It must have cost wea about £20 to make the video. More Than I Can Bear, on the other hand, is the full-length single version, with Basia's solo intro (and lots of close-ups of her) which is not on the original "Whose Side..." album. I had such a fun time watching this video! - ---------------------- Alfred Wong alfred@globalnet.co.uk ------------------------------ From: paxety Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 10:09:44 -0400 Subject: Re: Ancient Matt Bianco videos At 11:56 AM 8/25/96 +0000, you wrote: >I accidently came across a copy of "The Best of Matt Bianco" video in a=20 >bargain bin yesterday, and snapped it up immediately for only =A32. > >What a gem! ben - I hope you are reading this. There are places that can convert PAL to NTSC in Atlanta. Maybe we can take up a collection to cover the cost . How can the "bootleg" video not contain this. un abrazo, juan ------------------------------ From: Alfred Wong Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 17:20:05 +0100 Subject: Re: Ancient Matt Bianco videos I actually have 2 VCR's at home, one of which is a multi-system machine capable of handling most PAL/NTSC/SECAM formats. I can dub an NTSC copy and send it to Ben (I am not sure what the resulting picture and sound quality will be like) - only problem is I don't have any blank NTSC tapes! If someone can send me a blank NTSC tape, I should be able to sort something out. Let me know. - ---------------------- Alfred Wong alfred@globalnet.co.uk ------------------------------ From: Philip B Hall Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 17:54:35 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Ancient Matt Bianco videos On Sun, 25 Aug 1996, Alfred Wong wrote: > I accidently came across a copy of "The Best of Matt Bianco" video in a= =20 > bargain bin yesterday, and snapped it up immediately for only =A32.

Or was it bad=20 angles/lighting? My impression from that is she then lacked a stone or=20 better from later viewings............
