It contains extracts from quite a few of the tracks. 'Stairway to Heaven' runs longer than the rest if I recall correctly but my brother has this reel and I probably haven't seen it for 15 years.

I always found this 400ft cut down a bit frustrating because of the editing. Possibly now though I'd appreciate it more simply for its historic and nostalgic interest.

Does anybody know if this is available feature length on 8mm or 16mm?

The only Super 8 release was the 400', except for a very rare trailer put out by an obscure US company in the early 1980s. There are definitely 16mm prints as I have one. It's notable for having all of 'Stairway To Heaven' intact at the end, for several minutes after the end of the credits.

Hi Adrian,

Do you have the full feature on 16mm, or a cutdown?

Mike,
It's the full feature. I think it was printed in the UK.
