Anyway, the point is that not long after my mentioning the classic 1980's TV series Tutti Frutti in the Nicky Wire post the BBC have released the whole series on DVD. Apparently the delay was due to some legal wranglings over a performance of the title song, which featured some changed lyrics and therefore provoked Little Richard's lawyers to get all lawyery on the BBC's ass, as lawyers do. Anyway, the impasse seems finally to have been "cleared up", which I assume just means that everyone finally agreed on a sum of money which would be sufficient to make the lawyers go away. Amazon seem to have sold out almost immediately, but I'll be getting a copy just as soon as one becomes available. [Image is from here.]I'll conclude by mentioning a couple of other things in the hope that the strange powers I've exhibited here can make something happen:
- Still no sign of the Whoops Apocalypse DVD re-release - Play.com have it flagged as being released on October 5th, but as Amazon still have a release date of September 30th 2007 I assume this is probably just some infinitely extendable Real Soon Now.
- Can we also have a proper CD re-release of the Screaming Blue Messiahs' classic 1987 gonzo-metal-punkabilly album Bikini Red? Thanks.

Well I did focus my thoughts in quite a concentrated manner on the release of Season 3 of The Partridge Family, and lo, it was released. You can borrow it if you like.
I'd have to see seasons 1 and 2 first. Don't want to miss out on any twisty-turny plot shenanigans.
Oh, I've got Seasons 1 and 2 as well, though I can't say there's much in the way of continuous plot. David Cassidy does get increasingly less convincing as a schoolboy as the series progresses.
