Hi,

I was wondering if anyone could source a copy of this with original packaging - i know it was released but I haven't seen a copy for a long time - any advice would be welcome.

Is this the feature film of The Sweeney? I've never seen a copy of that on Super 8, only the Walton TV episodes.

Hi Brian,

Iver released a double album cutdown of the Sweeney feature film

Funny thing about this release is that i have never even seen a review of it anywhere. I wonder if it was one of there last releases with a limited run of prints. We ordered a 3 x 400 ft version of cross of iron from Iver when they announced it. The film never turned up, instead i got my cheque returned to me by the administrator. The film was never released except for a 400 ft version which we do have. Marketing however, did release there own 3 x 400ft but only in German
I'm sure this Sweeney cut down was one of the last they did. It must be very rare. [Wink]

Hi Tom,

i believe your right in the rarity department - last time i saw the double album it was in a display case at a local department store and i was about 14 or 15 years old in the early 80's and i haven't seen one since - but i know its out there
