Hi everyone!
Does anyone have news on what's happened with this DVD?
Has its release date been changed or has plans to release it been shelved completely?
I've just checked the Ezydvd website - where I first saw it advertised - and it's no longer listed at all. It was meant to have been released about 3 weeks ago.
I've been scouring JBHI FI for it, but no luck either.
Wonder what the problem was? Surely can't be a rights issue as some of that footage was on the Nightmoves dvd.
Hi Lee!
Its the Mushroom Evolution Concert DVD that celebrated Mushroom Records' 10th birthday over the Australia Day weekend in 1982.
I've got the one you mentioned but I don't think its as good as what I've seen of the Mushroom Evolution Concert.
Still puzzled as to why Jo Jo Zep & The Falcons were left out of 25 live,since they performed on the day.
Hi everyone!
Paid JB Hi-Fi a visit this morning about this DVD and according to them,they had no info whatsoever about the DVD's release this weekend.
Are we being dicked around again with this DVD or is it actually gonna see the light of day?
This is getting beyond a joke-the release date has been changed AGAIN!!!
According to Ezy DVD,it'll be out on October 9.
I've sent them an email to find out what's going on.If I hear back from them,I'll let you know,but I can't handle being dicked around over the failed release of this DVD anymore.
Either release it NOW or don't bother-just cut the crap!
Well you never know John,it could be a ploy by the DVD company to build up momentum!!
Seriously it's getting a bit silly with the constant date changing - methinks the old copyright issues are at play here..or maybe the film/sound needs more of a clean up than first thought?
I'll await to see if the dates are changed - again.
Hi Redacted Adjective-glad you're finding Patrick and I's frustrations with this DVD amusing.
Surely,you wouldn't be this way inclined if you were after something as E-L-U-S-I-V-E as this DVD?
Unless(conspiracy theory here)you're one of the parties who's stopping this DVD from seeing the light of day!
Redacted Adjective-get your laughing gear on and brace yourself Patrick-that bloody DVD's changed dates AGAIN!!!!
New date's now October 30-man,I've had a gutful!!!
Could you just pretend the due date is 25th December? That way when it's changed again (cos you know it will be, lol) you won't be so disappointed?
See, you just need a few simple S-T-R-A-T-E-G-I-E-S (mmn, that's right. I haven't forgotten your contempt at my poor spelling!)in place to help ease unnecessary heartache.
Contempt Redacted Adjective?-not so.It's definitely sounding more and more like a pre-Xmas release.Should've set it for that time in the first place instead of dicking the likes of Patrick and I round like they've done since mid-'09.
However,I shall make sure I've plenty of other forms of entertainment to avoid letting this carry on nonsense get to me anymore than it has done.
Thanks for your words of wisdom and have a good weekend!
