I doubt you would believe the number of copies we sold of these special reviews of the year! We added a couple new reviews to the list at least twice a year and it became difficult to keep all of them in stock at any one time. It was a similar story for the Movietones, which we had even more years and specials. As far as I can recall we only ever produced a special label for a single review, which was sold in a solid clear plastic case… ‘Pathe News review of 1965; A Year in our Time’ we had a full colour label printed and it was sold as a limited edition. We even got Bob Danvers-Walker to sign a couple of dozen, when he was our special after dinner speaker at Blackpool in 1985.
