I would just like to give a potted history of this release as well as to join a few dots on recent activity.

Firstly, see this thread regarding the origin of this tape.....

Following my transfer of the tape and sending all elements back to the owner, the next person to see this work was Baxterianism in early 2009. The baton was passed to Jonno earlier this year and he is the lead on attempting to make a viable release of what I sent. The quality of the media I used back in 2006 was questionable (crappy DVD's) and I just hope there is enough material to make this work.

Before I sent this to Jonno, I managed to keep a few files which I have used these to answer lots of questions from numerous people and the conclusion is that this version of the film is simply so different to any other known version out there.

I now have the source material back and I have since shared the most compressed version as an avi with the three individuals who have shown the most interest in seeing the differences in this.

I for one am looking forward to seeing this given the treatment it deserves, albeit roughly 7 years late!!!
