Blackpool purchases

#1 by John Armer , Tue Nov 22, 2022 8:34 pm

Had a great time at Blackpool - wonderful to meet other film collectors, many of whom I now consider real friends.

My collecting has been more targeted of late, so less scatter-gun purchasing for me. I picked up Derann's 400ft release of Quatermass and the Pit for the excellent price of £18 (considering it is on LPP with perfect colour) to add to the other Hammer films I've been collecting; Walton's 400ft cut down of The 39 Steps remake, again with excellent colour, for a fiver from Nigel; and Perry's release of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, which is a Perry's release I had yet to find.

Oh, and I won DCR's full feature of Oh Mr Porter in the raffle on Saturday night, which is an excellent Derann reprint with sharp, bright picture and excellent sound.

What did other collectors pick up?

It was really great meeting you again, John! And I am glad you found things you were looking for! Some great finds there. I will add pictures of what I got in a little bit. I need to attend to some errands first.

Here are mine. The Carry on and The Plank are faded, but OK for what I paid. The Apollo film has sound which I have been looking for. I had it as silent. I had Beep Prepared as faded 16mm, but this seems to be much better. (I wonder if the non original cover was printed from super8database.com 😁). The goofy print seems fantastic, but I haven't shown any of them in a projector yet.

Ed and myself picked up a few items to take home

Ed managed to get the Abbot & Costello for £3 and the Scooby Doo's for free so I think I'll leave negotiations to him in the future.
