From a good quality clean 35mm print. This feature had a very limited short run cinema release in 1981. Rarely seen in the UK but it has been broadcast often in the USA. Over the years the prints have deteriorated & later US broadcasts have had some of the songs removed due to print damage. Later broadcasts did not include the Gary Numan track Down In The Park as he owns the rights to the footage & it is thought he has refused any further broadcasts of his footage. The A&M audio soundtrack album did not include the following artists featured on the original release as presented on this laserdisc: John Cooper Clarke, Chelsea, Surf Punks, Invisible Sex & Splodgenessabounds. Valium by Invisible Sex is thought to be the only public performance by them. A full re-release of the originally presented feature is very unlikely as with the number of artists featured, to renew the rights to them all would now be very expensive & a potentially long winded process. Warner Archive released an official DVD-R of the movie, which were individually burned on a made-to-order basis. The movie was not remastered or restored for the DVD-R. The Splodgenessabounds' performance of Two Little Boys is not on the DVD but all the other original performances are included. Quite a few of the early '80s PDO pressed laserdiscs now suffer from laser rot but I have seen two copies of this feature & the audio & visual playback on both was faultless. A very scarce laserdisc & still the only way of seeing this feature as is was originally released & presented in US cinemas in 1981.
