Hello and welcome to the Extras. I'm Tim Millard, your host, and joining me is George Feltenstein to announce the November Blu-ray releases from the Warner Archive. Hi, george.
Speaker 2:Hello, tim, pleasure to be with you, as always.
Speaker 1:Well, there's been a lot of excitement for the November releases, as you've been getting the word out on these, and part of that, of course, is that and focus first on the brand new announcements that you have for November, and I have to say that one of the biggest surprises, and what I'm most excited about, is that you're releasing collections again. Can you tell us about the release and what kind of led to that decision?
Speaker 2:Well, even when we released the first Thin man movie, people were like well, we want the whole collection and the first Thin man movie cost us a great deal of money to remaster. We scanned our best elements at 4K, came out with a really fine release and it did well enough that it gave us the ability to do the next movie and then the next movie. These are all very expensive propositions, but we also knew that there was great success for us in prior years with the DVD collection of all the six movies, with the DVD collection of all the six movies, and I thought it would be a good time, especially with the holidays coming up, to be able to put the six films together in a collection that obviously offers a value proposition by being six films in one single Amaray case. It's very compact on the shelf and it makes a great gift. So we thought the time was right to do that and I'm hoping we can do more of the same. We have a lot of other opportunities to do that and it's just a matter of getting everybody on board with those kinds of decisions and happily, everybody was very enthusiastic about making this decision and I hope that people will be very happy to they haven't already bought the singles. This is a great way for people to pick up the blu-ray, and all of these were 4k scans off the preservation elements and they're gorgeous masters and they all have cool added features that recreate going to movies of the era and their trailers and some radio shows. They're all packed discs and to have them all in one collection is really suitable.
Speaker 2:I know that there are a lot of people that had the DVD collection which we put out almost 20 years ago and they weren't necessarily wanting to make the move to blue.
Speaker 2:Some people don't feel as compelled to do that because they don't recognize how much of a difference in quality there is, and I will tell you that the DVD versions came from older masters. With one or two exceptions, it came from older masters that really dated back to the 90s. So this was something we really needed to do and between 2019 and 2022, we got them all out and now people can have a collection that's got a great bit of value for a lot of entertainment, and the timelessness of these films and the way people love Nick and Nora Charles doesn't surprise me, but it really delights me because I've experienced this when I was a kid and could see them on TV, see them in revival theaters New York City as a teenager, you know and they're just an important part of our library. And now you can own it at a very, very attractive price in a beautiful package, and I'm delighted that the timing is perfect for holiday, especially since there is a little bit of holiday celebrating going on in the first movie, so it ties in perfectly.
Speaker 1:Yeah, oh. I think there's just going to be a lot of excitement, and some people who did buy the individual Blu-rays are raising the question are those the same discs that are going to be in this collection, with the same extras?
Speaker 2:They're exactly the same discs, the same four color labels. They're the same disc. There is no difference whatsoever. We, I think, created beautiful releases for each of the films and now we're just putting them together for those who don't have it or who want to bring it to someone else as a gift for the holiday or for a birthday. The thin man is forever, and wayne palmer and a lawyer forever.
Speaker 1:Yeah, so uh and I think a lot of people asked for this. I mean, even even when they were buying the individual blu-rays, it felt like a number of people were thinking or posting hey, this would be. You know, why don't they put this into a collection and things of that nature? So it really you know to your point about the proposition, the value proposition for the cost to get all six of them, to have them that way if you don't already have all six of the Blu-rays, is probably well worth it.
Speaker 2:And when we were doing the DVDs, we didn't have the requisite mandate to remaster everything from scratch, because the masters we had at the time were suitable for a standard definition release. That made putting a gift set together not as problematic. With these, we had six films that required extraordinary expense and we needed to be able to be profitable for our shareholders, and we achieved that. And now the benefit is that, because we made that investment, because that investment paid off, we can now take the step that we can't always do, but in certain cases we can, and this is one of them of now making it available as a collection that's affordably priced and that people will enjoy.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a great, great announcement. I was very, very excited when I saw that. Well, the next title that we're going to talk about was a real pleasant surprise, because you've been releasing these animated series, of course, over the last few months, and you have another animated series that I don't know was on anybody's radar. Really, tell us a little bit about this one.
Speaker 2:Well, this has always been on my radar. My radar even going back to the DVD days, because this is a two-season animated sitcom for lack of a better description that was absolutely geared towards adults. This was not a children's fair it's wait till your father gets home and it was really the way Hanna-Barbera, kind of, would pick up on trends. They were picking up on the kind of sensibility of early 70s television. Specifically, all in the Family, I think, was probably the biggest influence on this series and it was very topical. And it was very topical and it was specifically created for something that had just happened in the television industry, and that is the government made the FCC, made the networks give up the first half hour of prime time programming for local stations half hour of prime time programming for local stations. The idea behind this was to encourage local stations to create local programming. Instead, what happened was it was a new market for first run syndication. So instead of it being community minded, nations went out and looked for product and there were specifically series made for that market. There still are. I mean, the nighttime, jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune are remnants of that, and those happened in the 80s. But in the 70s, that's when you started seeing like nighttime prices right and so forth and so on.
Speaker 2:Yeah, there were also specific series, but in terms of animation, I think there may have been one or two others in the 70s that were animated for that slot, but this was Hanna-Barbera's first and it's very it has a very different feel than Hanna-Barbera's first and it has a very different feel than Hanna-Barbera animation of the era. It's very funny. It was written by people who were writing adult sitcom fare. It's a little edgy for the era, but the reason this was on my radar so much was that only season one got a DVD release, not season two on DVD, finishing series that had been started but not finished on DVD, which is what we were doing a lot of 12 years ago. 13 years ago there were music clearance issues for this series and happily, not only have the music clearance issues been cleared up, but we've also gone back to the original camera negatives, scanned it 4K and have these beautiful new 1080p HD masters which create the six discs, the 48 episodes of this half-hour series. I think people are really, really going to enjoy it.
Speaker 1:The response so far, george, to this announcement has been a real pleasant surprise and I think a lot of people are looking forward to this announcement has been real pleasant surprise and I think a lot of people are looking forward to this release yeah, I was delighted when we made the announcement this morning and seeing all the comments on Facebook.
Speaker 2:They're very, very, very positive. Over the years we have gotten a lot of requests. You know, just even thinking DVD-like, of like when are we going to see season two? I think season one was released on DVD in like 2007. So to be able to bring it out with a quantum leap of quality with the caveat that this was very low-budget animation, it was very, it was limited animation and it isn't to feature film quality animation or even like the Scooby-Doo things we've been releasing. This is very, very bare, but it's all about the comedy and the topicality of the writing, of the writing, and we're looking back 50 years because the last episode was in the can over 50 years ago. So this is a little bit of a forgotten piece of television history. That is a timepiece. It's very much representative of the early 70s and I think people are going to really enjoy it looking and sounding terrific and having it on their shelf.
Speaker 1:And before we move on, there are a few extras that looks like are going to be included in here. A couple of featurettes, yes, yeah, so that's terrific.
Speaker 2:There are two short featurettes that were originally created for that season one DVD, but they helped frame a little perspective on what the show meant and what it still means today, which is a great thing.
Speaker 1:Well, the next film that we're going to talk about I know is near and dear to you, so I'm excited to hear from you about the release of that's Entertainment from 1974.
Speaker 2:This is a really big deal, because we have had a Blu-ray available of that's Entertainment, as well as the two sequels, since 2007. It was one of the earliest Blu-rays. There was even an HD DVD set as well the earliest Blu-rays. There was even an HD DVD set as well, and they were taken from Masters made in 2004 for a DVD release, but they were 1080p high definition and in retrospect, especially in terms of the first two of those movies, I think it was a mistake on our part to put them out on Blu-ray when we did, because the quality just didn't cut it and because these films are so terrific, and specifically the first that's Entertainment movie, it really depends on exceptional quality, and you've got such exceptional quality in the excerpts from the history of the MGM musical, with clips from over 100 different films that were put together in such a remarkable way by Jack Haley Jr and his team, he being the writer, producer, director. This was one of the biggest grossing films of its year and it established the MGM musical as a genre that deserved recognition that it really hadn't gotten before then, and, more so, it also brought a whole new generation to the joys of what these films were about, and in looking at this, you have a compilation film with clips from over 100 different movies plus new footage with the hosts and we were looking at the film elements and there wasn't really an original negative for this feature nor the others, and there were not really protection elements and there were not really protection elements. The quote unquote negative for this movie was a that we released was disappointing in terms of the picture quality. But to go back and reassemble the whole film from scratch was seemingly an impossible and daunting task. But several people here took on the task of basically recreating the film from new sources that go back to the best elements that we have or where we still have the camera negatives in making sure, exactly frame by frame, that this is the way that's entertainment was presented in theaters. Because so much work went into the visuals and the opticals and the editing. We wanted it to be precise and we wanted it to look beautiful and I hope we have achieved that. It's the first time we, at least within Warner Archive, that we've re-released a title on Blu-ray that was out on Blu-ray before and I thought the results of I saw a lot of tests. So much work went into this I'd say almost over a year in preparation. The results are really, really fantastic and I think people who love the MJ musicals and love this film because this film for me as a kid and for so many other people I know it was their gateway into discovering what MJ musicals were all about and why they're so incredibly important in film history and and this isn't a documentary I always call it a docutainment because it doesn't give you much of the background story of the people and how the films were made.
Speaker 2:That's Entertainment 3, which came 20 years later, took on that task a little more significantly than the first film. But this first film is the granddaddy of them all and there were many imitators that came after with other studios, films and types of films and genres. But this was a box office phenomenon and our task was to see if we could make it look not as good as it did when it opened up in 70 millimeter engagements, but better. We needed to make it better than it actually was when it opened, but always keeping in mind what Jack Haley Jr and Daniel Melnick, who was the head of production at MJ at the time he's the executive producer and the editors the amazingly talented editors that worked on this and the sound mixers. They put so much care into this presentation.
Speaker 2:Sound mixers, they put so much care into this presentation. That's why it went from the usual television special of. Weren't these clips great? Which were abundant through the 60s and thereafter. This was a theatrical event that filled movie theaters all over the world and inspired two sequels. So we really wanted to do it right and we also wanted to protect the film for the future, and the film elements we had that were created by MGM were not protection and not proper for future generations to be able to go back and see what that entertainment was. So if people look at our 2007 Blu-ray, which got re-released by us, warner Archive, in 2020, they look many.
Speaker 1:Many people complained about the quality, and rightly so, because there's grain the size of golf balls and dirt, scratches and a lot of things that but down to the frame to be exactly the way it was when it was shown, but better festival, george, I went and saw this on the big screen there at the Egyptian and you introduced it and you explained all this and I have to say that it was, it was gorgeous to see how you had reconstructed and put in the original, you know, those original clips, now remastered so that they look terrific. They don't just like you know, they just don't look like some clip that was, you know, a few generations down or something. You went back and you reconstructed this and it looks and sounds terrific.
Speaker 2:So I mean, I think that point we really want to get across of how much better this is than the previous release of how much better this is than the previous release and you're very kind to say I've been involved in this, but the people that actually did the work are the wondrous people in our mastering team, as well as our colorists and scanning experts at Warner Brothers Motion Picture Imaging. So many people worked on this release. It's a thrill to be able to bring it to the public, because I know a lot of people really love this film very much and I hope they are pleased with what we're able to bring into the home. It's the representation of the work of, I would say, at least over 100 people, Right right.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I didn't mean to necessarily leave those folks out, because many of them are, you know, mutual friends as well, and I know how excited they were to see that on the big screen as well. And this Blu-ray also has the extras that I'm assuming were released on the previous versions.
Speaker 2:Yes, the 50 Years of MGM television special, which was a ABC wide world of entertainment late night special run about a week and a half after the film opened in May of 1974.
Speaker 2:It was put together with George Hamilton and his then wife Alana as the hosts. They basically attended the premiere at the Beverly Theater now gone Beverly Theater in Beverly Hills and followed the stars across the street from the premiere screening to the Beverly Wilshire Hotel where there was this massive party and almost all the MGM alumni returned for that event and they got up on the stage for a big famous photo and this television special captured it all and I remember staying up very late as a child so that I could see this getting in trouble for it and, uh, then tried to find out what happened to the special and nobody. There wasn't a copy of the special at mgGM. There wasn't a copy of it at ABC. It was thanks on DVD and Blu-ray and HD DVD in the aughts, but we've carried that over here, as well as the 10-minute featurette Just One More Time and the theatrical trailer.
Speaker 1:Well, the next title that I wanted to talk about. You have mentioned several times on previous podcasts that people could expect more Joan Crawford releases and, as promised, you have a much anticipated one coming in November.
Speaker 2:I'm particularly happy that this was ready in time that we could release it now. We are always working on dozens of projects at any given time in various stages of development, and I have to say that one of the things we're trying to achieve is to have a width and breadth of different kinds of releases, and I was so pleased when I was told that Humoresque was finally done. It's a long film, it's a lot of work. We did go back to the original Nitrate camera negative for this, which guarantees the image is. For lack of a better word, I'd say it's kind of luscious, it's just gorgeous.
Speaker 2:And this film was produced with such style. It's slick and it's really John Garfield's film as much as Joan Crawford's film, possibly even more his film. She doesn't even come into the plot until halfway through the movie, but the film has a fascinating production history and it was directed by the great Jean-Luc Lescaut I hope I'm pronouncing his name correctly who made some wonderful films at Warner Brothers, graduating from directing short subjects and then headed to 20th Century Fox where he also had great success. Very, very talented director. And Crawford takes on a very different persona than in her previous breakthrough Warner Brothers movie, mildred Pierce. This was the follow-up of what Crawford would do next at Warner Brothers after Mildred Pierce, and the results were tremendous and everybody in the movie is remarkable. And I have to speak out to a favorite performer of mine who has got a good supporting role in the film, the great Oscar Levant, the magnificent pianist, who's also quite a wit and comedian. He did make very many films but he's really terrific, putting a little comic relief as well as musical virtuoso performances to the story. It's a sensational film. But the improvement here again, not unlike so many of the other films, we've been talking about the improvement of quality between what you saw in the Joan Crawford collection we put out 19 years ago I think it was on DVD and what you see now with a 4K scan off the nitrate camera negative. It's an enormous difference.
Speaker 2:And when we restored the picture, of course we restored the audio as well. And hats off to Warner Brothers Archival Mastering the sound department with the work they do, bringing the best out of these soundtracks, maintaining their frequency response, having them sound clear and crisp. People are going to love this. We've also got two musically themed cartoons that you know provide, as we like to add. Well, one is musically themed and I thought it was very appropriate Rhapsody Rabbit to add. Well, one is musically themed and I thought it was very appropriate Rhapsody Rabbit. The other cartoon, Racketeer Rabbit, is not musically themed but kind of a spoof on Warner Gangster films. I can't remember which one, I think it is probably Racketeer Rabbit. But I went back to the opening night advertisement of when this movie opened in Los Angeles to see what cartoon played with the film, and I believe it was Racketeer Rabbit. If it wasn't Racketeer Rabbit, it was Rhapsody Rabbit, but I'm pretty sure it was Racketeer Rabbit. So the whole idea is to, you know, recreate that experience.
Speaker 2:We also have a featurette that is called the Music of Humoresque and it deals with specifically not only the amazing original music and classical music that was put together by the great Franz Waxman, one of the greatest film composers of all time, but John Garfield plays a violinist in this movie. John Garfield couldn't play the violin and they used some amazing photographic techniques to make it look like he was playing, to make it look like he was playing, and they had one person doing the fingering and the other person moving the bow, and how they pulled that off. I don't exactly know the violin playing on the soundtrack of the film is one of the greatest violinists of all time, isaac Stern, who was a very young man at the time and it was very interesting that when Barbra Streisand was making the Prince of Tides, which dealt with a violinist in its story, she went back to view Humoresque to see how they pulled off the trick of somebody who couldn't play the violin playing the violin. That's interesting.
Speaker 1:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Well, they asked me for a copy of the movie. So I remember that very well. Yeah, very proud of, and there's been a lot of chatter in the cyber world that somehow we're putting all our ducks in the Joan Crawford basket and ignoring Betty Davis. And we wouldn't be ignoring Betty Davis, since we've already done beautiful new masters of the letter and the private lives of Elizabeth and Essex and Jezebel. But she made so many wonderful movies for our studio and we have so many that need to get that upgrade, that restoration.
Speaker 2:And the problem is that many of them were mastered in HD 20 years ago, 18 years ago, for DVD purposes. Those masters would absolutely look deplorable on a Blu-ray because all sorts of DNR was used and they came off secondary elements. We have to start from scratch secondary elements. We have to start from scratch. And I am equally as supportive of both artists. So there are plenty of Bette Davis movies we're hoping to bring to Blu-ray in the future, as well as more of Ms Crawford's. But it isn't a contest. I know people think of it as the eternal feud, but it has nothing to do with anything but what is ready, when it's ready and when we can get it on the schedule. So Betty Davis fans, we hear you.
Speaker 1:You do have one post-2000 film, and this one has two very popular stars in John Cusack and Diane Lane, and that's Must Love Dogs from 2005. What can you tell us about that release?
Speaker 2:Well, I can tell you that we have gotten so many requests for this film because people can't understand why it was never released on Blu-ray. And I have a feeling it has to do with timing, because this film came out just a little before the Blu-ray format and the high def wars began and it just got kind of overlooked. And if people love dogs and love romance and I don't think anybody loves dogs more than I do this is just the most charming movie with wonderful performances. Diane Lennon is adorable in it, john Cusack is terrific he never isn't. It has a great supporting cast in this movie. Christopher Plummer's in it, stockard Channing is in it. It's just wonderful.
Speaker 2:And it was directed by Gary David Goldberg, who a lot of people don't necessarily recognize in the film world, but he was responsible for the Family Ties television series and that was the thing that really brought him to renown. And this is just a charming romantic comedy of the era. It's almost 20 years old, it's 19 years old. I can't quite digest that, but it is. But it's timeless in its ability to entertain and people really appreciate that these films don't get overlooked and that they get to see them on the beautiful Blu-ray and they can finally get rid of their DVDs, so Must Love. Dogs has joined the Warner Archive collection.
Speaker 1:Yeah, it is kind of surprising that this one kind of missed that Blu-ray window, so to speak. But hey, there you go. It's a great opportunity for the Warner Archive to step in and fill that, and we've got some deleted scenes on the discs.
Speaker 2:We have a gag reel and, of course, the trailer. It's a lovely disc. I think people are going to really enjoy the film, and probably a lot of people haven't seen it and it'll be a new discovery for them.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and probably a lot of people haven't seen it and it'll be a new discovery for them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's terrific. Well, we can't wrap up today without some talk about the Looney Tunes Collector's Choice Volume 4 release, and you were so kind to previously come on and do an exclusive announcement of one of those cartoons Peck Up your Troubles and the two bonus cartoons. But today you released the full list of all the other 24 cartoons on there. Without you know, we're not going to go through that whole list. People can read through it, but what do you want the fans to know about this release and the cartoons that you just announced today?
Speaker 2:The concept of the Collector's Choice series. Concept of the collector's choice series was to release on blu-ray cartoons that had never been seen on dvd or blu-ray before, with great quality. And if they had been available in the home video market they were on either Laserdisc or possibly VHS, but they had never been on a DVD or a Blu-ray. Non-remastered usage of cartoons as bonus material on some of the Golden Collection DVD sets and we didn't count those as having had a remastered release. When the Golden Collection was done of DVDs and there were six collections of those all the main cartoons on those collections were remastered for DVD. That's not the same as being remastered for Blu-ray and high definition. But in addition to those remastered cartoons, a decision was made to add non-remastered cartoons as bonuses on some of the later volumes, which was something that I found a little bit distressing because it was confusing to the less enlightened consumer. But what the Collector's Choice series was about was was getting these cartoons that had never gotten the proper spit and polish up for a beautiful Blu-ray collection that was also diverse and entertaining, and the first one was a big smash. The second one was a big smash and it followed, you know, in pretty quick step that we also had a volume three. That was a slower seller. People weren't as apt to buy at the beginning as they were on the earlier ones, and that put the series kind of in jeopardy of. Would we be able to do a fourth? And I think we talked about this on the last podcast. Thankfully, enough support came through that we were able to go to the finance department and get the approval to move ahead with this volume four. So, in addition to 25 cartoons as prime material, we have two that we have to call bonus cartoons because, yes, they were released in a remastered form on DVD, but they were presented in their theatrical aspect ratio, which cuts off the top and the bottom of the animation. And people are so used to seeing these cartoons on television in a 4x3 format and on VHS in a 4x3 format that they rebelled in the sense that most consumers of theatrical films, they want to see films in their original aspect ratio. Well, this is not what the animation fans wanted. They wanted to see the full frame. And further to that, the belief is that even though the widescreen aspect ratio was in place, it was already kind of assumed that these films would be shown on television, and so that they should protect the whole screen, to be four by three. So therefore we have two cartoons on here Lighter Than Hair with Bugs, stark, naked with Daffy that were in previous dvd collections, never in anything high definition. So they're making their high def debut. But they're also making their debut open mat one, three, seven to one academy aspect ratio. So you get to see everything that the animator, the animation, animation teams, I should say, put into the images of both of those cartoons. So it's a very packed release.
Speaker 2:I'm delighted that the response we've gotten so far has been very, very supportive, because we went for a lot of the cartoons with the most famous characters, but some one-shots and a couple of off-beat selections. But we're really in the prime area of, you know, the 40s, 50s and the early 60s and we've got a couple in there from the 30s as well. But it really is the prime time for the golden age of the Warner Brothers cartoon and I hope people enjoy this.
Speaker 2:There will be an announcement about this coming, but this is news for this podcast and I'm going to break it here now podcast, and I'm going to break it here now. We are also going to be offering, on the same date, a four-disc collection of all four volumes in one package, so that if anyone hasn't bought the other volumes, or if they have bought the other volumes but instead of buying volume four, they'll want to buy the collection. We'll be offering that at a very attractive price. So you have a choice of two ways. You can complete your collection by buying volume four, but you'll also be able to get collector's choice volumes one through four in a collection, and that will be up for pre-order fairly soon. Both will be actually, so we're breaking this news as an exclusive on the Extra podcast, especially as a thank you to you, tim, for all the support you brought to the Warner Archive, for all the support you brought to the Warner Archive.
Speaker 1:Well, that's exciting news. I am always more than happy to support all of your releases, george. Warner Archive is a real treasure and does important work. It doesn't just bring us things that are for our entertainment alone. You guys do so much with the preservation, the remastering, creating these collections. You guys do so much with the preservation, the remastering, creating these collections, saving and bringing to our attention these lesser known cartoons from the archives and the studio vaults. So it's just so good to to have all of this out there for the fans. But thank you for that. That announcement here on the extras so happy that we could get that out there to the fans today.
Speaker 2:And I like the fact that I could surprise you as well, yeah that's fantastic.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we thought that it was a proper way because that's almost 100 cartoons and with the amount of cartoons that have been released in a remastered form, this made a significant. These four releases have made a significant improvement in the number of cartoons we've been able to bring to people to own on their shelves or no one can take it away from them. It won't suddenly disappear and we're very proud to be able to have the honor to continue this animation legacy of our wonderful studio. We're very proud of our cartoon heritage as well as our live action heritage, and to share that with the incredible amount of devoted fans is a great honor and a great responsibility that we do not take lightly.
Speaker 1:Well, George, as always, it's exciting to hear the new release announcements directly from you, where you give such great background on each of the releases and what went into the remastering.
Speaker 2:So, as always, I thank you for coming on the Extras Well, it's my pleasure and I look forward to the next opportunity for us to talk about the next releases. Yes, there will be December releases. Just want to make that very clear. We're not skipping the month.
Speaker 1:Looking forward to that. Thanks George. Thank you, tim. Looking forward to that. Thanks George. Thank you, tim. For those who'd like more information about the titles that we discussed today, be sure to check out our Facebook page and our Warner Archive Facebook group. You can find the links to those and all of our social media sites in the podcast show notes. Facebook is also the best place to get the pre-order links for these titles when they become available.
Speaker 1:And just to reiterate what George said for the Looney Tunes collectors choices, if you are interested in those, you heard that the delay between three and four was caused in part by folks not stepping up and purchasing them right away. So I hope you'll think about getting in your pre-order for volume four or for that box set of all four of the releases right away, so that that lets George and Jerry and the folks at Warner Brothers know that you want more Looney Tunes from the vaults. So please think about doing that. It does impact their ability to get more cartoons out. For those of us who are loving these releases, if you aren't yet subscribed or following the show at your favorite podcast provider, you may want to do that so that you don't miss any of these exclusives that we sometimes have on the show, especially if you're a big fan of the Warner Archive releases. Until next time you've been listening to Tim Millard stay slightly obsessed.
