For the modest cost of £499, which these days is modest enough when we look at the price of a smartphone, there is this new film camera from Pentax. Nobody else has done this and I'm not sure that anybody else could easily re-assemble the expertise to do so. There are some simplifications, with zone...

Lucifer is one good reason to keep paying huge sums of money to Netflix! Without thinking specidfiocally about any particular platform though, there have been a number of really excellent TV shows over recent years. OK, so Lucifer is current for us, then there's Wednesday, Gotham, Pennyworth, White ...

OK, so a couple of months on and how do I feel about the Motown Unreleased now? I'm reaching the conclusion that there's nobody so critical as a true fan and my feelings have lightened up a bit. It's clicked into place now, and there's a lot more here of merit than I first thought. TRacks that didn;...

Now looking at Disc 22, the Motown Unreleased, this is the largest collection of new material from the group for a very long time. To be fair, quite a bit of stuff was released by Motown between 1972-1974 and the danger has always been there that the best of it was already out there and that Frankie...

There are two discs in the Ultimate Four Seasons set that are of speciaql interest, and that is the unreleased recordings from two eras - the last Philips recordings up to say 1971 and the unreleased Motown recordings that initially spurred on the desire for this project. Disc 19 is Unreleased 1966-...

The Four Seasons boxed set is slowly being digested and so far it has yielded some very precious moments. Disc 30 - Back In Action - The Lost Disco Album - Recorded a while before, but consisting of some of the best new music to arrive along with the group's 1980 tour of the UK, this has original an...

It wasn't deferred again but actually arrived, all 6.3kg of it, a couple of days early. Such is the benefit of pre-ordering perhaps? Anyway, bit by bit we are listening to the set, and at 44 CDs it may take awhile. The vinyl album is a complete reprint of The Genuine Imitation Life Gazette, quite ri...

And then it was 2nd June 2023. However, news has it that this date will hold firm as the product is now manufacturered, checked, packed and ready for 2nd June delivery. Some of these things I have been waiting over 50 years to hear, so I can wait till 2nd June. After that I might start to get a bit ...

I've just checked out the original link provided and all the material is still there and still accessible.

The finished product is also still available at dragonsfoot.org

Bach had his moment....and the Count had laid on a feast for our band of advernturers. Strahd doesn't get out much, so he's probably happy to string things along and get good entertainment value out of his guests. Immortality tends to last a long time.....

Another great series, Wednesday is of course based on a character from The Addams Family, but no knowledge of that is required. It is a dark, amusing and very stylish set of 10 episodes. Hopefully there will be a series 2. It reminded me very much of the production values of the "new" Sabr...

Joined now by Stephen Hall, the adventurers stumbled through some sort of secret way and found themselves in a strange land, held in thrall by a certain Count Von Zarovich. Invited to the castle, they are just about to enter a room where they see three sets of green eyes, at floor level, peering out...

And now the release date has been set back to 14th April 2023.

The concept might well be lifted from the TV series "NCIS", which Sue has been watching solidly for a while. She has now completed all the 18 seasons that are available to us. With Rule 91 in mind, we joined Swinton Photographic Society last night, a small but friendly group of photographe...

Release date is set to be 9th December 2022.
