I've just had a print in of the Derann release "Ubove Us The Waves", it's in its original boxes, and has Derann's original artwork as well, I started looking at it, and I started to smile, this was and always has been a B/W film, so when I looked in the corner it states 'Super 8 colour sound'. Now this print could be around 40 years old now, and I wonder how many people who've owned it spotted Derann's mistake (I wonder if they ever spotted it?).

You never know what's going to turn up with 8mm, do you!

I love super 8! (well, there's a painfully obvious statement!!)

I am still startled as to how much great stuff was actually released on Super 8, whether magnetic or optical sound! Titles you wouldn't imagine being on super 8 ...

... and that is not even taking into account as to what was released in Germany exclusively, or japan, (still trying to find that one out!), Italy ect ect ...

LONG LIVE SUPER 8!!!
