WIRE 4 Oct 2004 PF7TV [2DVD] PINKFLAG Pinkflag are proud to present the first in our series of archive research releases. This one in the form of the only extant filmed recordings of the band performing live in the 70s. Consisting of a one hour live set and half hour interview from WDRs Rockpalast sourced directly from the broadcast masters complimented by a newly mastered audio soundtrack and with an additional CD of the performance only, this digipacked jewel is 04s must have wire fan purchase! For more information on this release please read the news item To subscribe to the pinkflag mailing list send an email to the pinkflag mailing list THIS DVD IS NTSC - REGION FREE, BEFORE ORDERING PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING DVD NTSC & PAL/SECAM info What you need to know is this NTSC DVDs will play on 95% of DVD systems worldwide. PAL/SECAM DVDs will play on only very few DVD systems outside of countries that use PAL/SECAM systems. It works like this, almost all DVD players sold in PAL/SECAM countries are multi-standard. This means they will play both PAL/SECAM and NTSC. Only very expensive systems actually convert between the formats, the multi-standard players instead partially convert the NTSC signal to output pseudo-PAL which is easily handled by most modern PAL/SECAM TVs. This works surprisingly well and most users have more problems over region coding (which is a separate issue) than NTSC/ PAL issues. Pinkflag is making every attempt to make clear that although the vast majority of customers will be able to transparently use its DVD products there will be a small percentage who will not be able to enjoy them on their current equipment. For that reason we urge all potential customers to make sure that they are able to view NTSC DVD on their systems. Pinkflag and PostEverything cannot be held responsible for any disappointment. For more information please read a much fuller exposition on these issues at DVD Demistified Region coding What you need to know is this Region coding is a device put into the coding on the DVD itself disabling those DVDs from playing in regions other than they are coded for. It is in no way an essential part of the DVD code, merely a device for enabling movie multinationals to protect their pricing differentials and release schedules. All pinkflag DVDs have region coding 0 which means they can be played anywhere in the world on any device that can accommodate them.

I included the mighty Templates - a truly colossal track IMO - on a compilation for someone who likes Wire, and this is what he said... 'soars on a mighty 4/4 beat, not too dissimilar to late 70's Factory records*...a reminder of the sort of compellingly dark music The Cure have singularly failed to recreate on their increasingly depressing series of under-achieving, post-Disintegration albums.' *hence Marks love, I guess!!
