    Songs From Tickle Me

    by

    We’d already disscovered the ‘Elvis’ factor when it came to sales and rental with the highly successful package of films from Grand National so to find this in the EMI catalogue was a bonus. Some great musical numbers, all gleaned from early LPs in oder to save money. We released a 400′ a 4×400 and…

    Star Performance

    by

    When this label was first posted (4th May 2023), I wasn’t able to give only concrete information as to its contents. However group member Gary Sayer supplied me with the following report: “I have this film on standard 8 and super 8 and it isn’t clips from any of her movies. From memory, it looks…

    Bullet for a Deadman

    by

    This was a Derann super 8 release of the late 70s’ and was the only film we ever purchased from a vast catalogue of foreign movies from an office in London, (don’t recall it’s name). At the time Derek and myself both thought that edited and repackaged it might sell as ‘Spaghetti Westerns’ were still…

    One of the two ‘Carry On’ films we picked up from our second contract with Rank Film Distributors. This film and ‘Carry on Abroad’ outsold any title we had previously released. Released as a 4×400′ plus a 400′ extract all made it into the Derann sales catalogue. Another label designed by Marianne Frost. Label courtesy…

    We’d already discovered the ‘Elvis’ factor when it came to sales and rental with the highly successful package of films from Grand National so to find this in the EMI catalogue was a bonus. Not one of his best films, but one I had enjoyed at the ABC in Wolverhampton when it was first released.…

    George Formby Souvenir

    by

    I’ve tried hard to remember something, anything about where this was acquired, but to no avail. All i can say is that it was a pretty good seller… but all of George’s titles sold well. This is the entry in the 1978 sales catalogue says. “George sings ‘Little Stick of Blackpool Rock’, ‘Guarding the Home…

    Another feature from our second contract with Rank Film Distributors. This Italian production from 1972 was originally entitled ‘La tua presenza nuda!’ and is also known as ‘What the Peeper Saw’ and ‘Night Child’. The film received minor cuts for its initial UK cinema release. However in 1978 the introduction of the Protection of Children…

    Round the Bend

    by

    It’s taken me some time to work this one out. A 200′ comedy short that was in fact an edited episode of a 1962 TV series aired under the title ‘Dial RIX’. This episode had Bernard Bresslaw and Bernard Cribbins feturing in a light hearted look at the motor car. It was already available when…
