Blimey good one Elizabeth - but I think my complete list would make Mr S' equation (elsewhere) seem tiny!

To start - in no particular order:-

    The Fantastic Voyage
    Hercules Unchained
    One Million Years BC
    The Girl on a Motorcycle

Nothing could make that equation tiny!!!
Girl on a Motorcyle - I have to agree with you - can't get much worse!!

I vaguely remember a song, but didn't know it was a film too :?

:lol:


The trailers have so far been quite good for War of the Worlds, and i'm glad they've kept the martians out of them. I went to see millions (good film) the other day and there was a different ad, which answered some of my concerns about the first one. I had been about worried that the atmosphere might not have been there, but this ad had the glow over the countryside and similar voiceover to the Richard Burton narration at that point (though obviously, unfortunately not upto the hypnotic atmospheric quality of his). To me the definitive version is the Jeff Wayne musical version, which seems to put you right in the middle of it so well. I've got it on a double disc gatefold vinyl that has fantastic paintings the size of the opened out sleeve, as well as full lyrics and two pages of sleeve notes.
Aparently there's a new collectors edition coming out on 13th June with 2 hybrid SACD's containing a remastered version in both stereo and 5.1 surround, a CD of the best club mixes, 3 CD's of rarities, outtakes and unreleased tracks (including the full richard burton narration - apparently only 40% made it on to the original album) and there's also a DVD with a 75 minute making of film on. There's also a 12" square hardback book which includes along with new material all the stuff thats on the sleeves of the original vinyl (including that gorgeous artwork).

I'll stick with MD's - I scratch CD's too easily when they're rolling round the floor of my cars!!

The musical version is by far the best and I have it on Double CD but my Dad orignally had it on the double cassette, which I made sure I inherited (or should that be swipped!). A couple of months ago I had to do some weekend work in the office and I subjected a colleague of mine to the CD very loud and with me singing along to it... it's now costing me a fortune in his therapy bills :lol:

To be honest i'm a bit miffed they're only releasing it in SACD, and not DVD audio. I don't have, and have no intention of getting, a SACD player. SACD seems to be going the same way as minidisc, an obscure format that won't sell in mainstream stores that will be pushed by a manufacturer or two for a few years until even they give up on it.

The CD changer was an original Clarion accessory developed specifically for the Cappo in Japan and Suzuki GB imported limited numbers. Clarion also produced a specific bracket mounting so that the changer could fit securely and tightly with no compromise of fitting the roof panels in. Only problem of course is when the panels are in and you want to change the 6 CDs for a new batch... everything has to come out!

I wondered about that Alex. I like my music but if it's a toss-up between having the roof off and the panels in the boot - or having a CD changer in there - the roof wins each time for me. Besides if you play music in a Cappo you don't hear the engine note so well :D :D

I have gone topless today and it's a very grey cloudy day...needed the fresh air to wake me up this morning and clear my foggy head (too much Mr Merlot last night me thinks!)...just hoping the pigeons and seagulls, oh and rain don't pay a visit to my little baby!!
