From the Voiceprint newsletter....
In related news we have found the original 35 mil master tape of the short
film documenting Fairport Convention's concert in Maidstone at the Maidstone
Fiesta in 1970. The film which was directed by Tony Palmer received a
limited release in the cinema in early 1971 and features rare footage of the
"Full House" line up of Fairport Convention. Also featured in the film are
two songs performed by Matthews Southern Comfort featuring former Fairport
Convention vocalist Iain Matthews.
So, maybe a DVD on the way?

Isn't it amazing how all of these things keep turning up in an anniversary year, with a BBC box set and the anniversary itself all getting lots of well deserved publicity?  |

Unless they spend £000s on cleaning it up, which I think unlikely, it's the same source that the video was lifted from.
Probably banking on people picking this up that have already worn out the video.

The video release was only 500? copies....so there'll be plenty without a legit copy. I think there';s commercial sense in putting it out.

trouble is it lasts less than half an hour, which i reckon makes a stand alone release unlikely

There were just over 1000 copies of the Maidstone video produced. We numbered them all.

Maybe they could re-release it with some other Fairport stuff from that sort of time, maybe the Gottle line-up that is mentioned here or maybe just re-release that |

And there's a million and one copies of it - both on Video and DVD |

There is a ton of unreleased video. I would love an attic tape dvd. Put all the footage into a two volume set. I know I would buy it.

There's all those early Cropredy reunion shows too. I'd love to be able to get a hold of the Broughton Castle show, and others. So there's certainly enough desirable footage out there.

I just received notification from Key Mail Order ( http://www.keymailorder.com) FAIRPORT CONVENTION Maidstone 1970 Released 19/11/07 Cat: TPDVD105 Filmed by Tony Palmer. Also features Matthews Southern Comfort. £13.99 On the Key Mail Order site, search (box in top left hand corner) for "maidstone". No doubt available elsewhere before long. |

That's a lot of money for a VERY short DVD. That's readily available, er, elsewhere..... But it is bloody fine, so, what the hell..... |

I recently started to archive my videos onto dvd, and when I got to 'It All Comes 'Round Again' it was copy protected and wouldn't record.

What kind of video? What kind of copy protection? There's ways around, y'know...

I've got one of those dual deck things, video and dvd, you can record on to the other. But 'It All comes 'Round etc' brings up an on-screen message saying 'this type of tape cannot be copied'. What you do get if you proceed anyway isn't a blank dvd but short intermittent bursts.
My machine is made by Bush (the shame) and was quite cheap, about three years old.
Edit: Can I suggest this discussion is continued in The Help Desk inside the Arms? Cheers Nick
