Thinking about this project again the other day, as it was put on the back burner due to lack of sources.

Here is the current state of things:

I still have the UK VHS release of Mexican Slayride, plus the restored scene that was shared on the spleen.

I also have all the season 2 teasers from the spleen, plus the season 3 teasers from the UK DVD set.

Finally, I have the audio music edits from an off air source, but the quality is average due to the age of the recording.

So, funnily enough, I actually have everything that’s missing (as far as I’m aware), just need to decide if it’s worth taking the plunge with the editing, using less than perfect sources.

The VHS I have of the pilot is of a very high quality (amongst the best VHS commercial releases I’ve seen in all honesty), but it has macrovision so my dvd recorder won’t record it. I’m trying to see if there’s anything I can do it get around this. I’ve read that using a camcorder with a video in helps to bypass it, but since I don’t have one (and they’re expensive secondhand) that’s not really an option…

Oh, and Paramount TV channel in the UK have started showing The A-Team. Unfortunately the pilot had the usual cuts, so I am doubtful the music will be intact when they get to season 3. You never know though!

If anyone can help out with a way of circumventing the macrovision, please do let me know. I have a Panasonic VCR feeding into a Panasonic ES10 DVD Recorder.

Thanks
