Motor Sport History DVDs
I wasn't sure whether to post this here on in the "armchair enthusiast" forum, but decided that it would most appeal to those who like nostalgia.
Following a good review in Motor Sport magazine, I purchased a copy of the Totally Archive dvd Motor Sport 1930s-1970s. I paid by Paypal and it arrived the next day.Fascinating stuff, in the mould of the Motor Films Quarterly issues.All old cine-film taken by amateurs without sound - there are some introductions and identification of tracks and events, but it's largely silent. I missed the commentary of Mrs.Nye's son Douglas, and there were many errors both minor (a Porsche 356 is not a 911) and embarassingly major (film of the 1959 and 1961 le Mans races is mixed up, so that virtually all cars are mis-identified). Notwithstanding this, I thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing, since it contained stuff I've never seen and probably would never have seen if the producers of this effort hadn't collated it. Really good product for those who like that sort of thing - £12.99 post-free from www.totallyarchive.co.uk..(I have no connection with the company) |

I saw Arthur Brown at a local club when I was a kid and he set fire to the ceiling with his "flaming headpiece" act. Good "turn", though. |

Ahhh, we people of a "certain age". I was a teenager in the 60s, with eclectic tastes in music.Best act I ever saw, no argument, was Geno Washington and his Ram Jam band. I also watched Old Slow Hand with John Mayall's Bluesbreakers, and didn't know who he was. The naivety of youth. |
