[rec.music.gaffa] The Single File on video

8548222@WWU.EDU (Dave Armstrong) (03/21/90)

It is the 20th so I went down to buy my copy of Sinead's new album.  After
I purchased it I was walking out the door when I caught something out of the
corner of my eye.  I didn't know what it was but I turned around and looked
in the display case.  To my utter disbelief I was looking right at

                    KATE BUSH - THE SINGLES FILE

I whipped out my checkbook and bought it without hesitation.  It was $39.95.


Now for a question.  Is this a legitimate copy or not?  I always thought that
is was _The Single File_.

It comes with a light green cover.  It is VHS Stereo HI-FI.  It gives copyright
credit to Novercia Ltd. and EMI Records Ltd. and says "this video licensed to 
Cello Video, Inc. (c) 1989".  There is even a barcode on the spine of the case.
The quality of the picture is excellent and sounds great although I don't have 
a Stereo VCR.

This sounds like Cello Video (anybody ever hear of them?) has licensed
the rights for the videos!  If so, this is amazing, astounding news!
Is there any definite indication of the country of origin?  Since it seems
to play on your American equipment I assume it's not British.  And since
the price is so reasonable I guess it's not a Japanese import.  So it
sounds like it might be American!  Please, check all over the label and
see if there's an address for Cello!
