Shorty, Do by chance know how many catalogs Universal 8 (not as Castle) produced?I'm assuming only a few since they were short lived (as compared to Castle itself.)...Douglas

I know of five U-8 catalogs. Actually, the first was more of a mini magazine, "Great Eights", which came out right after they took over Castle.
One from 1978:
Magazine type from early 1979 announcing new releases:
1979 Catalog:
Final 1980 Catalog:

Fabulous original photo's by Doug!
What a shame Jim. We're all guilty of similar though. I distinctly remember throwing away a A4 binder of all my Derann Catalogues and second hand film leaflets etc circa 1994 only to try to buy them all back again since 2009!
They were all in "Rexell" binders keeping them all in "mint" condition in the time I had them, only to turn into landfill in the advent of Video Projection. How so very very foolish of me!!!
