Record Collector is run by Investors not music enthusiasts, but I buy it religiously because I am amusic enthusiast... if that makes any sense. I think that that's all well and good but I want them to do something on the 60's acid folk underground scene.

Cool.

Has anyone actually ever seen "Dance Craze" ? I haven't, but I'd love to see it.

I have "Dance Craze" on video & DVD.
The DVD is a bootleg that I picked up off ebay for about £5.

I'm a big fan of The Blues Brothers and nicked it off The Courtyard website which is a gig venue where my last band Afterglow played at.
