I have these both on DVD if anyone is interested.
Following this, I've been trying to get a copy of the film of Sir Henry, and have been gob-
smacked to find that it's not (yet) available on DVD in the UK; it has been slated for release
here 'sometime this year', and I did find somewhere on the other side of the Atlantic with
copies for sale, but so far not here (Amazon has some joker asking £45 for a second hand
VHS copy - yeah, right!).
So, if anyone has a copy, and/or VHS version, I would love to hear from them.
Also, of course, anyone who has any of the Peel sessions - I have all the ones that are at
The Perfumed Garden, but I know there were others ( and I also know them to be rare as
rocking-horse shite, but I thought I'd ask...)
cheers
Roger
