As a matter of fact I picked one up a few years ago on the D&M fan forum... I'm not 100% it's the actual fan club tape or perhaps a first generation dub, but the quality is very good. Thought there were plenty of good copies out there already. I can MySpleen it if people are interested.

Definitely, I second that! Somehow that one has escaped decent preservation, and even the best copies I've seen have been lacking. The community would definitely benefit from a nice transfer of that copy.

I think the same goes for the Bob Hope Christmas Special with the Star Wars spoof...that one was even more scarce at one point, and I still haven't seen a very clear copy to this day.

So the version I have on DVD is not a direct dub from the fan club tape... It's an copy of a copy... Not terrible, but the fan club tape (which i pulled from storage this weekend) should prove to be a better source. I don't have any decent VHS equipment anymore, so we'd need to find someone with professional grade equipment with the means to extract the most from a VHS source. Any suggestions.

Should we start a separate thread?

If I'm not mistaken, Antcufaalb has a pretty sweet VHS setup. Might want to ask him.
